Like reality TV? Then you'll definitely want Bravo. The popular lifestyle and entertainment channel Bravo is behind the phenomenally successful Real Housewives franchise - which debuted in 2006 and has spawned 12 separate series - in addition to all-new Love Match Atlanta and so much more. Don't have cable or satellite TV? No problem. Luckily, you can watch Bravo online from almost anywhere, and without any need for an expensive TV subscription or long contract. Here's how to watch Bravo online from wherever you are in the world.

Watch Bravo online

US live stream: Sling TV ($35 Sling Blue plan)

US on-demand: Peacock for $4.99 a month

Watch anywhere: try ExpressVPN, the world's top VPN 100% risk-free

International streaming: Hayu (UK, CA, AUS)

Since the success of Queer Eye in 2003, Bravo has produced dozens of shows characterised by aspirational glamour and can’t-look-away real-life drama.

In addition to Real Housewives, the best Bravo shows include the Below Deck, Million Dollar Listing, and Southern Charm franchises, the Emmy Award-winning Top Chef, and late-night talk show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

While it's easy enough to get Bravo included on your cable package in the States or with a hefty Sky package in the UK, what about if you want all those lifestyle/reality TV shows without the expensive subscription?

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can cut the cable and watch Bravo online. For example, NBC’s Peacock ($4.99) is now the on-demand hub for Bravo in the US, with new, in-season, or recently broadcast shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta and Million Dollar Listing: New York being made available to stream the day after their cable broadcast.

Below we've provided more information about how to watch Bravo online for less, no matter where in the world you are.

It's just $4.99 per month, doesn't tie you into a long contract and doesn't require any kind of cable package.

The free tier has limited content, so you’ll want the ad-supported Peacock Premium at $4.99 a month to watch whole seasons of Bravo shows. Or you can pick up Peacock Premium Plus at $9.99 to remove the ads and download select content to watch offline. It's available on most smart devices.

The only downside with Peacock is that you generally get each episode the day after it airs on Bravo. So, if you really need you fix of Housewives on the day of release, you might want to try cable-cutting services such as Sling TV and FuboTV instead which both carry Bravo.

If none of that appeals and you want to do things more traditionally then it's cable TV for you. Bravo is accessible on cable if you have a TV Provider like Xfinity, DirecTV, Verizon, Cox or one of many other services. It will also offer access to the online Bravo player.
