How to watch Yellowstone season 5 online

Yellowstone season 5 is set to begin on November 13 at a slightly earlier time slot than usual. It’ll now air weekly at 20:00 ET (17:00 PT), and will kick things off with an explosive two-hour premiere. Below, we’ll explain how to live stream Yellowstone, even if you’re currently traveling abroad.

We don’t recommend using unlicensed sources to watch Yellowstone (or any show, for that matter). Not only do these pose various legal and ethical issues, but they usually provide a far worse experience than official streams. On the plus side, we’ve found plenty of low-cost ways to watch the new series online, many of which include a free trial. In other words, there’s really no advantage to using third-party streams.  

The new season of Yellowstone will only be shown on geo-blocked streaming services. As such, anyone traveling abroad will need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to continue watching on the same channels they’d use back home.

How to stream Yellowstone from anywhere (even abroad)

VPNs are privacy-enhancing tools that encrypt your internet traffic and make it seem like it’s coming from somewhere else. This has the secondary function of helping you regain access to your usual streaming services while on vacation.

Here’s how to stream Yellowstone online from anywhere:

1. First things first: decide which VPN you’d like to use. We recommend NordVPN although Surfshark and ExpressVPN are both great options as well.
2. Download the VPN app and install it on any device you use for streaming. You’ll usually be allowed to connect five devices at once, but each provider has its own limit.
3. Log in and select a server in your home country. This will change your IP address, tricking your usual streaming services into thinking you’re still in a supported location.
4. Finally, try watching something on your preferred streaming service. Videos should load immediately, with no errors, but if they don’t, clearing your cookies and refreshing the page will fix most issues.

Remember: if you’re looking to stream Yellowstone live, it pays to test your VPN ahead of time. This way, you won’t miss out due to last-minute technical trouble. All of the VPNs mentioned above have 24/7 live chat, making it quick and easy to get help should you run into trouble.

How to watch Yellowstone season 5 online on US TV

The fifth season of Yellowstone will air exclusively on Paramount Network, which means you can sign in and stream new episodes live, provided this channel is included in your cable TV package. If not, don’t panic—you can create a free account to get a one-time 24-hour pass. In fact, you could just create a new account every week to stream the whole season for free. Alternatively, Paramount+ lets you watch live without cable for $4.99 (GBP £4.35) per month.

Looking to catch up? In that case, you’ll need a Peacock Premium account. These cost $4.99 per month with ads or $9.99 (GBP £8.71) without, and will grant you access to recently-aired episodes the day after they’re shown on TV. As an added bonus, subscribers can stream the first four seasons as well.

These services are all region-locked and can’t normally be accessed outside of the US. Still, with the right VPN, it’s easy to tune in from abroad. NordVPN comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, ensuring you can try it completely risk-free. If it doesn’t meet your standards, just cancel during this time to receive a full refund.

Where else can I watch Yellowstone online?

Yellowstone might be a modern Western, but it has fans all over the world. Take a look below for a guide to which networks are showing Yellowstone where you are:

Canada

Just like in the US, Yellowstone season 5 will air on Paramount Network. If you have cable TV, simply sign in to watch live at no added cost. Alternatively, you can subscribe to Paramount+ Canada ($9.99 CAD per month), or simply keep creating new accounts to take advantage of the 24-hour free pass.

There is a difference in how you can stream older episodes, though. In Canada, the first four seasons are available on Amazon Prime Video. This service costs $9.99 per month and comes with a one-month free trial.

These platforms are both geo-blocked, but you can access the Canadian libraries from anywhere with the help of a Canadian VPN server.

Australia

Season 5 of Yellowstone will be coming to Stan on November 14, just one day after its US release. This service’s library already contains the first four seasons, so it’s a one-stop shop for anyone looking to catch up ahead of the new series. Plans start at $10 AUD per month and there’s a 30-day free trial included.

Stan is geo-blocked, so if you’re traveling outside of Australia, you’ll need a VPN to use it.

UK

Last time, British fans had to wait quite a while for Yellowstone to arrive in the UK. However, season five will premiere on November 14, and you can watch on Paramount+, which costs £6.99 per month after a seven-day free trial.

Not quite caught up? No problem: Paramount+ has every previous episode, as well as the show’s spinoff, 1883.

Paramount Plus changes its content based on your location However, if you’re abroad on vacation, you can use a VPN to access the British library as usual.

Yellowstone season 5: plot and rumors

The Yellowstone season 5 trailer immediately lets us know that this season will be a little different, as John Dutton, seemingly not content with owning the largest ranch in the state, manages to become Governor. His first act is to fire all the staff and effectively declare war, though it’s not clear who he’s fighting.

Rest assured, though; there’s plenty of the classic Yellowstone vibe as well. Crammed into this action-packed trailer are several gunfights, a bar brawl, and even a concert, so it’s clear fans will have a lot to look forward to in season five.

Is Yellowstone returning for season 6?

Yellowstone is likely to come back for a sixth season, but as the show is still airing at the time of writing, the release details are a little thin. If there is a sixth season, November 2023 seems like a plausible date for the start.
