How to watch Yellowstone via streaming and purchase
Subscription streaming (SVOD)
In the U.S., Paramount+ holds the streaming rights to Yellowstone. Subscribers can stream all available seasons and new episodes when available under the terms of the license. If you subscribe to a live TV streaming service that includes Paramount Network, you typically also gain access to the Paramount+ app and content within that bundle.
Digital purchase and rental
If you prefer not to subscribe, you can buy or rent episodes and seasons on major platforms. Note that new seasons are usually added to purchase platforms after the live season concludes.
| Platform | U.S. availability | Typical catalog (at season end) |
|---|---|---|
| Apple TV | Available for purchase/rental | All seasons available for purchase/rental |
| Amazon Prime Video | Available for purchase/rental and via Prime Video Channels (Paramount+ add-on) | All seasons available for purchase/rental |
| Google Play (YouTube) | Available for purchase/rental | All seasons available for purchase/rental |
| Vudu | Available for purchase/rental | All seasons available for purchase/rental |
Free ad-supported options
Occasionally, select episodes or limited catalog content may appear on free ad-supported platforms or FAST channels. These are not typical for full-season access and vary over time.
Outside the U.S.: international streaming and channel partners
International availability is governed by licensing agreements. In many regions, Yellowstone streams on local streaming services or airs on localized versions of Paramount Network or partner networks.
| Region | Channel or service (examples) | Availability notes |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Sky Witness, NOW TV | Seasonal windowing; check for latest rights |
| Canada | CMT Canada, Crave | May follow U.S. season timeline; carriage varies |

How to confirm you are watching the official channel
To avoid unofficial uploads, check that the channel or service is listed in Paramount’s official provider maps or the service’s own documentation. On cable/satellite, use your provider’s channel guide. On streaming, use the Paramount+ app or an authenticated live TV service that carries the network.
Upcoming seasons and spinoffs: where to watch
Future Yellowstone seasons will continue on Paramount Network and stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. Spinoffs and related events may appear on Paramount+ or other Paramount Global services, depending on licensing. Regional plans will vary and should be confirmed with local providers and official announcements.
