Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial is underway in Plymouth, Massachusetts, bringing renewed national attention to the Duxbury mother accused in the 2023 deaths of her three young children.

Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, is charged in the killings and has pleaded not guilty. The BBC has reported that her defense has argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time.

Jury selection began July 20, 2026, at Plymouth Superior Court, according to the trial schedule reported by Rolling Stone. The proceedings are expected to run for weeks before a verdict is reached.

Court TV is livestreaming the trial, making the courtroom coverage available to viewers without a traditional cable package through streaming services that carry the channel.

Where to watch the trial

Court TV is the listed channel for live coverage of the Lindsay Clancy trial. DirecTV and Fubo both carry Court TV through subscription plans, according to the streaming guide published by Rolling Stone.

DirecTV includes Court TV in its basic packages and offers a five-day free trial for new members who sign up for Signature plans. After the trial period, DirecTV pricing is listed at $44.99 per month.

Fubo also carries Court TV through its Pro and Elite packages, with plans listed as starting at $88.99 per month. Fubo does not currently offer a free trial, according to Rolling Stone.

Fox Nation documentary now available

Fox Nation has released a short documentary on the case titled A Mother’s Mental State: Inside the Clancy Case. The program is available now on Fox Nation.

Viewers can access the documentary through Fox Nation directly or through streaming packages that offer Fox Nation as an add-on. Rolling Stone listed DirecTV, Fubo and Sling as options for watching the documentary online.

DirecTV requires users to sign up first and then add Fox Nation to access the documentary. Fubo offers Fox Nation as an add-on for $5.99 per month, though it does not have a free trial. Sling offers Fox Nation as a premium add-on starting at $8.99 per month, on top of Sling Blue, Sling Orange, or Sling Orange & Blue plans.

Sling’s base pricing is listed at $45.99 per month, with short-term passes available. Fubo’s standard plans are listed at $54.99 per month, with discounts available for the first month.

What the trial centers on

The case has drawn intense attention because of the allegations and the defense’s focus on postpartum mental health. Clancy has not been convicted, and the charges against her remain allegations unless proven in court.

The Associated Press has reported that it is not clear whether Clancy will testify. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, is expected to testify for the defense, according to AP.

Prosecutors argue that Clancy knew what she was doing and that the killings were planned, according to Rolling Stone’s account of the case. The defense has argued she was experiencing postpartum psychosis, as reported by the BBC.

With jury selection just beginning, the trial is still in its earliest stage. Court TV’s ongoing coverage is expected to be the main live option for viewers following the proceedings as they continue in Plymouth Superior Court.
