How to watch The Simpsons season 34 online from anywhere

The Simpsons is the longest-running show in history and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. In fact, season 34 is set to premiere on Sunday, September 25 at 8 PM EST (5 PM PST). Below, we’ll explain everything you need to know about streaming The Simpsons season 34 online. We’ll also walk you through the process of watching it abroad, in case you’re currently traveling outside of the US.

Remember, for the highest-quality stream, use official sources. Shady streaming sites like to promise the world but they tend to have laggy, low-resolution video and their content can be taken down without warning for copyright violation. There are plenty of legitimate ways to stream The Simpsons season 34, even if you’re outside of the US. This makes using unofficial sources effectively pointless.

The Simpsons season 34 will only be shown on geo-restricted services. As such, if you’re abroad at the moment, you’ll have to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch via your usual streaming platforms.

How to watch The Simpsons season 34 abroad with a VPN

Accessing region-locked streaming platforms is actually quite a bit easier than you might think. Follow the steps below to unblock and stream The Simpsons season 34 from abroad.

Here’s how to watch The Simpsons season 34 online from anywhere:

1. Start by signing up for a suitable VPN if you haven’t already. We recommend NordVPN although Surfshark and ExpressVPN are both solid choices.
2. The next step is to install the VPN app. Most providers let you have around five connections at once, so feel free to install it on any device you use regularly.
3. Decide which of the official broadcasters you’d like to unblock.
4. Connect to one of your VPN’s servers in the appropriate country. For example, you’ll need a US server to watch on FOX or a Canadian server to unblock CityTV.
5. Try watching something on your chosen service. In most cases, the video should start immediately, but if not, try clearing your cookies and refreshing the page. Failing this, we recommend contacting your VPN’s support team for further assistance.

If you’re looking to watch The Simpsons live, it’s a good idea to test your VPN beforehand and make sure everything works properly. This way, you won’t have to scramble to reach tech support at the last second.

How to stream The Simpsons season 34 on US TV

You can stream The Simpsons season 34 online via the FOX website. It’s particularly easy if you have a cable subscription that includes FOX. This only requires signing in via your TV provider to start streaming.

There are all kinds of ways to watch FOX online without cable too. In fact, fuboTV ($69.99/month), Hulu with Live TV ($69.99/month), Sling TV ($35/month), and YouTube TV ($64.99/month) all carry this channel, so if you use any of these, you may be able to watch at no added cost. Of course, most of these include a free trial, so feel free to try them out and see which you like best.

If you’re not bothered about watching live, you could just opt for the base Hulu subscription instead. This costs $6.99 USD per month and gets the newest episodes the day after they air. This service also comes bundled with Disney+ (which has the first 32 seasons and will release season 33 on October 5) and ESPN+ for $13.99 per month, which collectively gives you unrestricted access to every old episode of The Simpsons.

Currently abroad? You can still use these geo-blocked platforms, provided you have a VPN. NordVPN includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, meaning you’ll be able to stream The Simpsons risk-free and claim a full refund if you’re in any way unsatisfied.

Where else can I watch The Simpsons online?

Let’s be honest: The Simpsons airs in just about every country in the world. Here’s how to stream The Simpsons where you live:

Canada

CityTV has historically showed new episodes at the same time that they air in the US. However, we don’t know when season 34 will arrive in Canada just yet. When it does, rest assured that you’ll be able to can watch online, completely free, without even having to create an account. Recent episodes will be available on-demand for a short time, so you can catch up at a time that suits you.

Looking to watch old episodes of The Simpsons online? The only way is with Disney+, which costs $11.99 CAD per month or $119.99 per year. Unfortunately, while this service previously offered a free trial, this is no longer available.

Both CityTV and Disney+ are geo-restricted. If you’re outside Canada at the moment, you may not be able to access them without a VPN and Canadian IP address.

UK

The main place to watch The Simpsons in the UK is Disney+, which costs £7.99 per month. There are currently 32 seasons available, with season 33 likely to arrive at a later date. There’s no release date for season 34, either, but new episodes are traditionally shown on Sky within a few months of the US premiere.

This means that existing Sky TV subscribers can watch at no added cost using the Sky Go app. If you don’t have cable but also don’t want to wait until new episodes are added to Disney+, you can stream Sky live via Now TV’s Entertainment pass. This costs £9.99 per month after a seven-day trial.

Sky Go, Disney+, and Now TV are geo-restricted, so you’ll need a UK VPN server to use them from outside the UK.

Australia

Traditionally, FOX8 has been Australia’s main broadcaster of The Simpsons. Between seasons, it airs a constant stream of older episodes, so you’ll never be more than a few hours away from a mini-marathon. As yet, there’s no word when season 34 will premiere in Australia.

Existing Foxtel TV customers can watch FOX8 online at no added cost using the Foxtel Go app. Alternatively, if you don’t have cable, you can sign up for Foxtel Now. Prices start at $25 AUD per month, though, so it might be a little expensive if you just want to watch one show. As you might expect by now, Disney+ ($11.99 per month) is the only network offering full access to older seasons, season 33 included.

Just looking to watch old episodes and don’t care which ones? 7plus is free-to-watch and shows back to back reruns almost every day.

FOX8 and Disney+ are geo-restricted. As such, you might have to connect to an Australian VPN server to access them from abroad.
