Following a lengthy, nearly year-and-a-half-long wait, Outlander is back for the rest of its seventh season. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Outlander, including live streaming options for those without cable.
Outlander, the time-traveling romance series, returns after last airing in Summer 2023. Based on Diana Gabaldon's novels of the same name, the series first premiered in 2014 and has developed a passionate following over the past decade. The series follows Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan), and eventually their daughter Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and her family. The couple first meet after Claire, a married nurse in the 1940s, time travels back to 1740s Scotland and encounters Jamie. They become entangled through time and each other, setting up an intercontinental, multigenerational saga.
Whether you're hoping to watch the new season or looking to get caught up on past episodes, we've got you covered. Plus, we'll show you which streaming service you need in order to watch new episodes before they air on TV.
New episodes of Outlander air on STARZ on Fridays at 8 p.m. ET. If you can't wait until night each week, you can access the new episodes on Fridays at midnight ahead of their cable premiere by subscribing to the STARZ app. This is also the best way to watch past seasons of Outlander. STARZ usually costs $10.99 per month, but you can get your first month for $6.99. If you feel like the app is something you might hang onto for a while, you can subscribe to a semi-annual plan, which gives you six months of STARZ for $23.94, effectively making each month just $3.99.
Cord-cutters can also live stream the STARZ channel when new episodes air with a live TV streaming service like Philo. Philo is one of the cheapest month-to-month live TV packages out there. The service has one paid plan with 70+ channels, including AMC and the Paramount Network, which allow you to watch hits like The Walking Dead spinoffs and Yellowstone. Subscriptions cost $28/month and include a one-week free trial.
There are additional ways to watch STARZ without cable, usually by adding STARZ to your existing live TV streaming service, like Sling TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Hulu, or Prime Video.
UK Outlander fans can watch new episodes of Outlander through Prime Video's MGM+ add-on on Saturdays. The add-on costs £4.49 per month on top of a £8.99 per month Prime Video subscription. If you don't already have a subscription, you can try Prime Video free for 30 days and the MGM+ add-on free for seven.
Outlander fans traveling away from home can still keep up with their usual viewing options with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are cybersecurity tools that let you change your virtual location so that you can use your usual websites and apps from anywhere (think of it a bit like the stones in the show, but for your electronic devices). One of the best VPNs out there is ExpressVPN, a beginner-friendly option with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
You can read more about the service in our ExpressVPN review. Since the streaming options we've recommended require country-specific payment methods, this option will work best for those who are just traveling away from home at the moment.
STARZ dropped an action-packed trailer for the rest of Season 7 in October. At the beginning of the trailer, Claire and Jamie rejoice that they got their wish and can go home to Scotland. Of course, the couple is still shown to face several trials. The video also gives a look at Brianna and her family. Check out the full trailer below:
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
