Yellowstone is one of the most-watched shows on TV, but it’s also one of the few shows not available for next-day streaming on subscription services. Now that the Western drama has completed its final season and announced Season 5 Part 2’s streaming debut date, we’re breaking down the ways you can watch Yellowstone on streaming and digital platforms.

Are new episodes of Yellowstone on Paramount+?

While the Yellowstone spinoffs 1883 and 1923, as well as other Taylor Sheridan shows like Lawmen: Bass Reeves, are Paramount+-exclusive programming, the show that spurred the entire Sheridan TV universe isn’t on Paramount’s streaming platform. In fact, there is not one single episode of Yellowstone that is available to watch on Paramount+. Due to a licensing deal, a different streaming service houses all previous seasons of the hit series.

Are new episodes of Yellowstone on Peacock?

Peacock is the streaming home for Yellowstone Seasons 1 through Season 5 Part 1. Every episode except for the current season (Season 5 Part 2, which aired its first episode on Sunday, November 10, 2024), can be streamed on Peacock for any subscriber. Season 5 Part 2 will be added to Peacock on March 16.

Peacock got the streaming rights to Yellowstone in a 2020 licensing agreement. Under this agreement, full seasons of Yellowstone have been added to Peacock about three months after the finales aired on Paramount Network. Season 5 Part 2’s streaming release is following this timeline.

Where can I watch new episodes of Yellowstone for free?

If you don’t have Peacock, you can watch Yellowstone on-demand through ParamountNetwork.com. You will need your cable provider login information to do so. Go to the “How to Watch” section of the website, click on your cable provider, and you’ll be redirected to said provider’s website where you can watch new episodes for free. Paramount Network shows can also be watched live this way. This comes at no extra price beyond your preexisting cable bill.

There are cable-free on-demand options as well. You can tune into Paramount Network shows on YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Philo, fuboTV, Sling TV, and DirecTV Stream, and the episodes will be available on-demand the day after they air for those subscribers. If you don’t subscribe to those services already, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Philo, and fuboTV all offer free trials.

The Season 5 Part 2 premiere had an encore airing at 10/9c on November 10 on CBS and other cable networks, which led to the highest premiere audience in the show’s history.

Is Yellowstone on Amazon?

If you’re willing to pay to watch individual episodes, they’re available for purchase on Amazon. Every episode of the series, including all of Season 5 Part 2, is available to buy. The cost breakdown is $1.99 for SD, $2.99 for HD, and $3.99 for UHD.

The full season was also available to buy through the TV Season Pass feature. Buying the TV Season Pass means you will own digital copies of each episode of that respective season. Buying Season 5 on Amazon means that the episodes would appear in Your Video Library on Amazon. New episodes would automatically be made available in Your Video Library, usually within 24 hours of broadcast. According to Amazon, “if you’ve already purchased individual episodes of a TV show, then you will be presented the option to buy the Season Pass at a reduced price to complete your season, regardless of whether the season is still airing.”

Season 5 is $24.99 for SD (it’s typically $29.99, but there’s currently a discount), $39.99 for HD, and $49.99 for UHD.
