Frequently asked questions
What channel is ABC on DISH?
ABC is available on channels 2–70 on DISH, depending on your local market. Unlike national cable networks with a single fixed channel number, ABC is carried by your local ABC affiliate, so the exact channel varies by location. You can check your local DISH channel lineup by entering your ZIP code to find the exact ABC channel in your area.
Is ABC included in my DISH package?
ABC is included in America’s Top 120, America’s Top 200, and America’s Top 250 packages. This means you don't need a particular premium programming tier just to get ABC, since local channels are included in all DISH’s main packages. With a DISH package, you get full local-channel access nationwide via satellite, plus DVR recording and DISH Anywhere streaming included at no extra cost.
Can I watch ABC live if I don't have cable?
Yes, you can watch ABC live without a traditional cable subscription by adding ABC with a DISH satellite TV package that includes local channels. DISH carries local ABC affiliates, with the channel number generally falling between 2 and 70 depending on your location. You can watch live ABC programming through your DISH receiver rather than relying on a cable connection, including local news, entertainment, sports, and other ABC programming.
Can I stream ABC through the DISH Anywhere app?
Yes, you can stream eligible ABC programming using the DISH Anywhere app when ABC is part of your DISH service. The app lets subscribers watch supported live TV on compatible phones, tablets, laptops, and other connected devices, while also providing access to eligible DVR recordings. Because live-channel availability depends on your package and location, check the DISH Anywhere guide to see whether your local ABC affiliate is available to stream.
Does DISH carry ABC in every region?
DISH carries ABC local affiliates in many regions, but ABC availability varies by market. ABC is among DISH’s local networks on channels 2–70, with the specific affiliate and channel number varying by geographic location. Local-channel carriage can also change based on agreements with individual stations. To see whether your local ABC station is available, check DISH availability at your address.
How much does it cost to get ABC with DISH?
ABC doesn't require an extra fee or upgrade — it's included as a local channel in every DISH package, starting with America's Top 120 at $94.99/mo . Since ABC is a local affiliate rather than a premium network, you get it with any DISH plan, along with DVR recording and DISH Anywhere streaming at no additional cost.
