How to Catch Stephanie Han vs. Holly Holm 2 Live (and Even for Free)

The buzz is real: Stephanie Han and Holly Holm are finally meeting again in the ring, and fans have been waiting for months. The bout is set for Saturday, August 24 at 8 p.m. ET, and you’ll want a solid plan so you don’t miss a single jab.

First things first: the fight is being aired on Showtime, which means the official live stream will be available through Showtime’s own platform, the Showtime app, and any cable provider that carries the network. If you already have a cable bundle with Showtime, you’re good to go – just fire up the channel and enjoy the action.

But let’s be honest, many of us don’t have a pricey cable package. Luckily, Showtime offers a stand‑alone streaming subscription. The standard plan is $10.99 a month, and it gives you unlimited access to Showtime’s entire library plus live events like the Han‑Holm showdown.

Now, for those who are hunting for a free way to watch (legally), you have a few avenues worth trying:

• Free trial of Showtime. New users can snag a 7‑day trial for $0. Just sign up, watch the fight, and cancel before the trial ends. It’s straightforward, and you won’t be charged if you remember to cancel.
• Fite TV free‑preview. Occasionally, Fite TV offers a limited‑time free‑preview for major fights. Keep an eye on their site or app a few days before the event – you might get a window to watch the match without paying.
• Network affiliates. In some markets, local broadcast stations partner with Showtime for simulcasts. Check your local listings; a few regional channels might carry the fight for free over the air.

If you’re already subscribed to a streaming bundle like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or Sling TV that includes Showtime, you can simply log in and flip to the Showtime channel. No extra cost, no extra steps.

For the ultra‑tech‑savvy, a VPN can help you access streams that are geo‑blocked in your country. Just make sure you pick a reputable VPN service, connect to a U.S. server, and then log into your Showtime account or trial. Remember, using a VPN is legal, but it doesn’t grant you free access if you haven’t paid for the service.

Quick recap:

1. Showtime is the official broadcaster – either via cable or the standalone app.
2. Grab a 7‑day free trial if you want a cost‑free watch (don’t forget to cancel).
3. Check Fite TV and local affiliates for possible free streams.
4. If you already have a streaming bundle with Showtime, you’re all set.

Whatever route you choose, set a reminder, grab some snacks, and settle in for what promises to be a thrilling chapter in the Han‑Holm rivalry. May the best fighter win, and may your streaming experience be smooth and interruption‑free!
