If you don’t have cable, you can watch a live simulcast of both Nat Geo Wild and Fox Sports 1 by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services: FuboTV, DirecTV Now or Sling TV.
Here’s everything you need to know about what these services provide, and how to sign up for free to watch the 2018 Westminster Dog Show:
