The View airs weekday mornings at 11 a.m. Eastern time on ABC

The View is a daytime talk show that broadcasts live Monday through Friday at 11 a.m. ET on ABC. The show runs for one hour, ending at noon ET. If you are on the West Coast, that translates to 8 a.m. Pacific time. The exact start time does not shift with daylight saving time — it stays at 11 a.m. ET year-round.

The show does not air on weekends or on major holidays when ABC's regular schedule changes. During holiday weeks, ABC sometimes prefers reruns or special programming, so checking your local TV guide the day before is the safest way to confirm whether a new episode will air. If you are traveling or in a different time zone, remember that the broadcast time is always 11 a.m. Eastern — your local time will depend on where you are watching from.

How to watch on television or cable

If you have a cable or satellite subscription that includes ABC, tune in to your local ABC station at 11 a.m. ET on any weekday. Your cable box will list the channel number for ABC in your area — it is usually a single digit (like channel 7 in New York) or a three-digit number starting with 2 (like 207 on cable). If you are unsure which channel carries ABC in your market, search "ABC channel [your city]" or check your cable guide.

If you have an antenna and live within range of a broadcast tower, you can receive ABC for free over the air. Most modern televisions have a built-in tuner. Scan for channels on your TV, and ABC will appear in your local channel list. The picture quality is often sharper than cable, and there is no subscription cost. This is the only way to watch The View live without paying for cable or satellite service.

Streaming options for The View

ABC.com and the ABC app let you stream the full episode the same day it airs, usually within a few hours of the broadcast ending. You will need to sign in with a cable or satellite provider account — the app does not work without one. If you do not have cable, you cannot use these options. The full episode typically becomes available by early afternoon on the day it airs.

YouTube has official clips from each episode posted by ABC News within hours of the broadcast. These are not the full hour-long episode, but they cover the main segments and interviews. Searching "The View [today's date]" on YouTube will show you the clips from that day's show. The clips are usually between five and fifteen minutes long and focus on the most talked-about moments from that day's episode.

What to do if you miss the live broadcast

Full episodes are archived on ABC.com and remain available for several weeks after they air. You can also find clips on YouTube, the official View website (theview.abc.com), and ABC News's social media accounts on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. The full episode usually posts within the same day the show airs, so you do not have to wait long to catch up.

Some streaming services like Hulu include ABC content, but availability varies by your subscription tier and location. Check your Hulu app to see if The View is listed in your library. If you have a Hulu subscription that includes live TV, you may also be able to watch The View live at 11 a.m. ET through that service, depending on your plan.

Holiday and special schedule changes

During major holidays — Thanksgiving week, Christmas week, New Year's week, and sometimes others — ABC may air reruns of The View instead of new episodes. The show also takes breaks during the summer months, though the exact dates shift year to year. Your best source for knowing whether a new episode will air on a specific date is your local TV guide or the ABC website, checked the day before.

If you are looking for a specific episode or guest, the official View website has an episode guide that lists who appeared on each show and what topics were covered. This can help you track down a particular segment if you remember roughly when it aired or who was on the show that day.
