The episode will be available to watch on Philo, Sling TV, Fubo TV, and DirecTV Stream as it airs. Each of these services offers free trials, while Sling offers 50% off the first month.

If you’re a cord-cutter or don’t have cable, you can live stream “Yellowstone” on any one of the following streaming services:
Philo (free trial)
Philo is remarkably inexpensive for the amount of content it offers, with more than 70+ live channels, the ability to stream from three devices simultaneously and a 365-day DVR with unlimited space. Subscribers will also have access to thousands of movies and TV series on-demand. The service costs $28 per month. There are several available packages that include premium channels, like MGM+ and AMC+, for an additional cost. Philo also offers a seven-day free trial that includes all the features of full subscription.
DIRECTV Stream (free trial)
In addition to ABC, Freeform, ESPN, and the other Disney channels, DIRECTV Stream offers CBS, NBC, and FOX. This sets it apart from most live TV streaming services. On top of that, a subscription gets you access to more than 65 other channels in its base package, including Nickelodeon, MTV, CNN, vh1, and more. The biggest selling point for DIRECTV Stream, however, is that it is the best for live and regional sports coverage. Add that to over 65,000 on-demand titles and its Cloud DVR and you have a diverse, versatile service that can meet any of your streaming needs. The base package costs $64.99 per month, with a wide range of add-on options. DIRECTV Stream offers a five-day free trial.
Fubo TV (free trial)
Fubo is considered the ultimate live TV streaming service for anyone seeking to cut the cord. With a subscription, you get access to over 100 channels (depending on your local area), 30 hours of DVR space, and tons of on-demand content, mainly featuring episodes of shows that have aired in recent weeks. Fubo has ABC and the ESPN family, too, making it a top option for sports fans. $74.99 per month, with a range of add-on options. Fubo’s standard package features a seven-day free trial.
Sling TV
Sling TV costs either $35 or $50 per month, depending on which package you choose. A subscription can be canceled at any time. While Sling TV’s range of channels doesn’t quite match some other services, it is far cheaper than almost any other live TV streaming service. And the streaming services closer to Sling TV’s price range don’t offer as much customization among packages. Sling TV does not currently offer a free trial but the company is running a promotion for 50% off the first month, so a subscription to Sling Orange & Blue is just $30 for the first month.
“Yellowstone” will return to complete its 5th and final season on Sunday, November 10, 2024. These will be the final 6 episodes of the series, which means there will be no “Yellowstone” season 6.
“Yellowstone” airs on the Paramount Network.
It will air at 8 p.m., which has been its airtime since the beginning of its run.
Because “Yellowstone” is a Paramount Network exclusive, this might lead you to believe that it is available to stream on Paramount Plus, but that is not the case.
The series has a complicated streaming arrangement (which precedes its explosive popularity), which means it will not be available on Paramount Plus for the foreseeable future. Instead, exclusive streaming rights to “Yellowstone” belong to Peacock.
The streaming service offers the first five seasons of the show on-demand, with the second half of season 5 to release some time after it begins airing.
“Yellowstone” started airing on Paramount Network in 2018 as a modern take on the traditional Western/cowboy narrative.
The series follows an intense — and often violent — border dispute in Montana between the Dutton family cattle ranch, a group of encroaching land developers, and a Native American reservation. As the series progresses, its scope expands with the Dutton family trying to assert their dominance in the arena of state politics.
The series stars Kevin Costner, Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Forrie J. Smith, and Gil Birmingham, among others.
Here’s a look at “Yellowstone,” courtesy of Paramount Network’s official YouTube channel:
The sole season of “1883″ is only available on Paramount Plus. There is nowhere else to watch the series. The same is true of “1923.”
You can sign up for Paramount Plus on the streaming service’s website. Currently, Paramount Plus features two subscription plans: a “limited commercials” option for $6 per month ($60 annually), and a premium “no commercials” option for $12 per month ($120 annually). You can try out either tier with a full 7-day free trial.
Paramount Plus will also be the home of upcoming “Yellowstone” spinoffs such as “1944,” the sequel to “1923,” and present-day spinoff “6666.”
