It just got a little easier to watch one of the best TV sitcoms of all time. After being a staple of television in the late 1980s and through most of the 1990s, the story of Al and Peggy Bundy has been tough to find in the era of streaming. Fortunately, Tubi<\/a> came through for TV fans at the start of 2026, bringing Married\u2026 with Children to its lineup so anyone can watch the iconic comedy for free.<\/p>\n

Married\u2026 with Children, starring Ed O\u2019Neill, Katey Sagal, and Christina Applegate; was added to Tubi\u2019s free streaming lineup on January 1st. So if you\u2019re willing to sit through some ads every now and then, you can watch one of TV\u2019s most beloved sitcoms. Unfortunately, there is a slight catch, in that the entire series isn\u2019t available.<\/p>\n

Tubi only added the first three seasons of Married\u2026 with Children to its free lineup \u2014 and there are 11 seasons of the series in total. Pluto TV has Seasons 6 and 7 on its roster (which is also free to stream), but the rest of the seasons are only available to stream via on-demand purchase or rental.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this will be a similar situation to how Tubi has handled Community in recent years. The service has taken to adding two seasons of Community to its lineup at a time, essentially creating a streaming rotation for the show. Maybe these first three seasons of Married\u2026 with Children will leave in a couple of months, only to be replaced by the next three.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s New on Tubi?<\/p>\n

Tubi, like most other major streaming services, added a plethora of new movie and TV goodies at the start of the new year<\/a>. Married\u2026 with Children was just one of the many great titles that joined the lineup, along with the first two seasons of Community and films like Galaxy Quest, The Cabin in the Woods, and The Equalizer.<\/p>\n
