Quick Answer: Viewers can watch Dua Lipa host Saturday Night Live online for free with trials to DirecTV Stream, fuboTV, or Hulu + Live TV.

Dua Lipa Season has started. On the heels of releasing her latest full-length album, Radical Optimism, the Grammy winner will celebrate by hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend. Along with hosting for the first time, the “Training Season” superstar will also pull double duty and return to the Studio 8H stage as the night’s musical guest.

Earlier in the week, Lipa appeared in a teaser clip alongside SNL cast member Chloe Fineman, who offered up a hilarious imitation of the singer and a unique spin on Lipa’s lyrics for “Levitating” from Future Nostalgia. “I’m really feeling the Dua spirit,” Fineman jokes, before Lipa offers up the chance to perform as the musical guest for the episode. “I’m gonna go and grab dinner,” Lipa says, leaving Fineman on her own.
