The highly-anticipated season 8 premiere of 9-1-1 will air on ABC Sept. 26, 2024 at 8/7c.
Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, 9-1-1 explores the high-pressure experiences of first responders — including police officers, firefighters and dispatchers — who are thrust into the most frightening, shocking and heart-stopping conditions.
During episode one of the new season, the 118 team battles an “un-bee-lievable” emergency when a trailer with millions of bees crashes on the streets of Los Angeles, unleashing a swarm, according to ABC.
Where can I watch 9-1-1 season 8?
Although premiering on ABC, those without basic cable can still watch the season 8 premiere of 9-1-1 on live Thursday with either Fubo or DirecTV Stream.
Both live streaming services offer free trials for new subscribers who can watch this week’s episode for free before committing to a paid subscription.
However, Fubo is the cheaper option following its 7-day free trial.
What is Fubo and DirecTV Stream?
Both Fubo and DirecTV Stream are set up like any other streaming service, but rather than offering exclusively on-demand content, they both offer exclusive live TV channels. So like cable, but without the hassle.
Fubo considers itself a sports-focused live streaming service, but overall, its standard package comes with over 100 live TV channels for $79.99 a month after its free trial. These channels include ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TLC, MTV and much more.
Fubo also comes with a variety of shows and movies users can watch on-demand along with the option to record your favorite TV shows.
DirecTV Stream is similar to Fubo in that it offers many of the same channels and features. At $94.98 a month after its free trial, the base package comes with a little over 90 live TV channels.
