Paramount Network
The Paramount Network has become an elusive channel to access for those without cable, but there are a few live streaming services that can help you tune in. Below, we'll show you how to watch Paramount Network so you never have to worry about missing a new episode of Yellowstone.
The Paramount Network got its new name following a rebrand in 2018, but you might have known previous versions as Spike TV, the National Network, and the Nashville Network. The network's current offerings are mostly reruns of TV and films, including old sitcoms from CBS (like Two and a Half Men) and movies from Paramount Pictures (including Gladiator). Additionally, the network took over hosting duties from Spike on the reality series Bar Rescue.
While the Paramount Network has launched a few original series over the years, nothing has had quite the same staying power as Yellowstone, the Kevin Costner-led Western currently in its fifth and reportedly final season. Access to the Paramount Network has become all but essential to watching new episodes of the show since the latest episodes won't head to their on-demand streaming home (Peacock) until a later date.
Fortunately, there are quite a few live TV streaming services that include Paramount Network access, and they all offer month-to-month subscriptions, so you can cancel anytime. We've broken down some of our favorite options below, including the cheapest way to watch Yellowstone.
Philo is the absolute cheapest way to watch the Paramount Network live. The streaming service carries 70+ live channels, including AMC, STARZ, and Lifetime. It's a great supplemental live TV service that can help fill some gaps in your TV coverage that might not be available in other streaming services or all cable plans. Subscriptions cost $28/month and include a one-week free trial.
Sling TV is another one of the more affordable live TV streaming services out there, with plans starting at $40/month. You'll need to also purchase access to the Entertainment Extra add-on for an additional $11/month, making your grand total $51 each month. Sling is usually running an introductory offer that will knock about $20 off your first month of service. A base plan combined with the extra will give you anywhere from 45-50+ live channels, including Paramount Network.
DirecTV Stream is a bit more expensive than its Sling and Philo counterparts, but the service is a strong alternative to cable. It offers more than 90 channels in its base Entertainment plan, including Paramount Network and pretty much every channel you'd find in a standard cable plan. Subscriptions start at $87/month, and customers can get a five-day free trial.
Like DirecTV Stream, Fubo is a slightly more expensive live TV streaming service with tons of channels. Fubo's base plan has anywhere from 150-200+ channels, depending on your region, including Paramount Network. The service has a few gaps, including AMC and Warner Bros. channels, but it's a solid cable replacement otherwise. Subscriptions start at $80/month, and new customers can get a seven-day free trial and $20 off their first month.
