It's an emergency: "9-1-1" is finally back for Season 7, and it's on a new network this year. Not sure how to watch it? We've got you covered on all the Season 7 details, including where to watch "9-1-1" now that it's changed networks.
The crime procedural, which follows a group of LA-based first responders, aired on FOX from 2018 to 2023. The network didn't renew the series after Season 6, but ABC immediately picked it up for a seventh season. The new season will finally premiere on Thursday night following WGA and SAG strike-related delays.
And Season 7 is shaping up to be a doozy. Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) and Athena Grant (Angela Bassett) set off on their belated honeymoon cruise in the first few episodes. But their vacation takes a dramatic turn when disaster strikes the ship, and the pair must fight for their lives. The three-part season premiere continues tonight.
If you're hoping to tune in, then you're in luck. We've put together a guide on all the ways you can watch the new season of "9-1-1." Keep reading to learn how to watch it live, catch up on past seasons, and access your subscriptions from anywhere in the world via VPN.
"9-1-1" Season 7 airs on ABC in the US on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET. If you don't have cable but want to watch an ABC live stream, then you can try a live TV package like Sling TV or Hulu + Live TV.
Sling TV is by far the cheaper live TV package here, with Sling Blue subscriptions starting at $40 per month (with the first month half-off, making it only $20 initially). However, Sling TV only carries ABC in select markets (including New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles, among others), so make sure to check out their local channel listing guide before signing up.
If Sling TV doesn't carry ABC in your area or if you're looking for something with more live options, then you can try out Hulu + Live TV, which carries that network and 95+ other channels. The service also comes with all of Hulu's on-demand content, as well as Disney+ and ESPN+. Subscriptions start at $76.99 per month.
"9-1-1" Season 7 is available to live stream on Global TV in Canada on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET. Episodes will most likely be available to stream on Global TV after they air as well.
If you're in the US, you can watch all six past seasons of "9-1-1" on Hulu. New Season 7 episodes will also be available to stream on Hulu the day after they air.
If you're in the UK, you can watch all six past seasons of "9-1-1" on Disney+. There's no word yet when the newest season will be available to stream in the UK.
If you're currently out of the US and hoping to keep up with your live TV subscriptions, it might be time to try a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs alter the location of your electronic device so that you can access websites and apps that might otherwise be restricted. They are also important ways that you can increase your online privacy. Since the live TV options we've outlined require US forms of payment, this option is best for Americans who are simply abroad at the moment and looking to watch "9-1-1" with their existing live TV subscriptions.
If you want to try a VPN, we recommend ExpressVPN, an easy-to-use option with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Want to know more? Check out our ExpressVPN review and keep reading to learn how to use it.
"9-1-1: Lone Star," which wrapped its fourth season last year, will still air on Fox. The spin-off series was renewed for a fifth season at the network and, as of right now, will not be moving to ABC with its counterpart. The show's fifth season premiere has been pushed back to fall 2024 due to WGA and SAG strike-related delays. The spin-off, which stars Rob Lowe, follows first responders in Texas.
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.
