Stream: NBC App, NBC’s website, and CBS’ Paramount+ service You can also watch it live on NBC’s website if you’re on a laptop or want to watch it on your computer. Another option is to mirror the parade, too, from a device to your television. Though not the official coverage station, CBS also broadcasts the parade with its own hosts (the team from Entertainment Tonight). Stream the event with Paramount+ (if available in your area), a premium live television streaming service that requires a subscription. Paramount+ offers a seven-day free trial if you’d like to check it out before subscribing.

Watch Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Free Online
If you don’t want to use a subscription service and don’t have access to live streaming sources, your best bet is an antenna. The parade is still broadcast over the air like it used to, so if you have access to an antenna it’s worth giving that a try.
Verizon 360 Live Stream
Watch the parade using Verizon’s very cool 360 Live Stream, in partnership with Macy’s and NBC. This unique view of the parade features multiple 360-degree cameras placed along the route. It has its own hosts and a separate, independent audio stream. The 360 Live Stream starts on Verizon’s YouTube page Thanksgiving day at 8:30 a.m. ET.
