The cheapest streaming service that includes every channel that will have Dolphins games is Hulu With Live TV. For more info about Hulu With Live TV and other live stream options, read on below.
The race for the No. 1 overall pick this year figures to heavily involve the Miami Dolphins, who have made it very clear that they don’t have much intention of collecting many wins in 2019.
Dolphins games this year will be on either CBS (12 games–televised in select markets), Fox (3 games–televised in select markets) or ESPN (1 game–nationally televised).
If you don’t have cable, you can watch Dolphins games live on your computer, phone, Roku, Fire TV Stick, Xbox One, PS4 or other streaming device via one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:
In-Market & Nationally Televised Games: Hulu With Live TV

Not only is this the cheapest streaming service that includes every channel that will have a Dolphins game this season, but Hulu With Live TV also comes with Hulu’s extensive Netflix-like on-demand library of TV shows and movies.

Dolphins 2019 Season Preview
Call it Tanking for Tua or call it rebuilding. Whatever you call it, one thing is clear: The Dolphins aren’t likely to win a whole lot of games in 2019.
The Dolphins lack talent throughout the roster, they’ll have some combination of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen at quarterback (the veteran Fitzpatrick will begin the season as the starter), and just a week before the start of the season, they shipped elite young left tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Kenny Stills to the Houston Texans for a bundle of draft picks.
But while they lack star power (they had zero names in Pro Football Focus’ Top 101 players from 2018, and they have zero in PFF’s Top 50 for 2019), new head coach Brian Flores doesn’t see that as a problem.
“It’s a team game,” he said. “Stars are kind of a ‘me’ thing. I don’t — I guess I’m not — it’s a team game. There are 11 guys out there and they have to work together. If you have a star that wants to do his own thing, that just doesn’t work. I’m of the ‘put the team first’ mantra and these so-called ‘stars’ need to be on that page on this team.”
The 37-year-old Flores, who has spent the last 14 years as an assistant with the New England Patriots, is attempting to establish a new culture in Miami.
“Every day (Flores) gives you a takeaway on how he exemplifies himself as a man,” Miami defensive end Charles Harris said. “He’s not just teaching us about football, but he’s teaching us life skills. Teaching guys about being mature. And how every single practice really does matter. And every single day of your life matters.”
Flores’ culture–which focuses on instilling discipline in his players–provides some room for optimism moving forward, and it’ll be something to watch for in 2019, but with such a significant lack of talent, the wins may still be a year or two away. Sports Illustrated has the Dolphins dead last in their preseason power rankings, and most pundits expect the ‘Fins to finish near or at the bottom of the standings.
That doesn’t mean the Dolphins don’t have some exciting players.
One in particular is wide receiver Albert Wilson, who tallied 23 receptions, 359 yards and four touchdowns in the first six games of last season before getting hurt and now looks like a prime breakout candidate. He has already proven to be one of the most dangerous players in the league after the catch (first in missed tackles forced per reception in each of the last two years, per PFF), and a full year healthy could result in a big season for the 27-year-old.
Miami’s over/under win total for 2019 is set at 4.5, the lowest in the league.
