Where to watch Young Sheldon free from anywhere: Live stream the final season
Young Sheldon Season 7 is back tonight, following a brief three-week hiatus. This marks the final season of The Big Bang Theory prequel. We’ll show you everything you need to know about the season, including when the next episodes air, how to catch up on past seasons, and where to watch Young Sheldon free from anywhere.
Narrated by The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons, the show follows young Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage) as he grows up in East Texas in the late ’80s and early-to-mid ’90s. The series showcases Sheldon’s home and school life as a young genius, fleshed out with a supporting cast that includes Lance Barber, Zoe Perry, and Annie Potts. Like the original series, the prequel has developed a devoted fan base in its time on-air.
Whether you’re a longtime fan looking to catch the new episode live or you want to binge the whole series for the first time, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading for our breakdown of Young Sheldon watch options.
How to watch Young Sheldon in the US
Young Sheldon airs Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. If you don’t have cable, there are a few alternative tune-in options. The cheapest will be through Paramount+. You can live stream new episodes via your local CBS affiliate if you subscribe to the Paramount+ with Showtime plan, which goes for $11.99 a month. The cheaper Paramount+ Essential tier will also give you access to Season 7 episodes, but they won’t be available until the next day, so you’ll need that Showtime tier if you want to watch live through the streaming service. Paramount+ comes with a one-week free trial for new users.
If you want to get caught up on the past six seasons of Young Sheldon, Paramount+ won’t be able to help you. In the US, all past seasons stream on both Max and Netflix. Max, which is also the US home of The Big Bang Theory, starts at $9.99 a month. You can check out our full run-down of Netflix pricing tiers to learn more about your options.
You can also access CBS without cable via a live TV package like Hulu + Live TV. Subscriptions start at $76.99 a month and include Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu’s entire on-demand catalog.
How to watch Young Sheldon in the UK
If you want to watch Young Sheldon in the UK, you’ll need to create a Channel 4 account, which is free. The only downside is that Channel 4 doesn’t have new episodes of Young Sheldon yet and just has the past six seasons available to view. The first six seasons are also on the UK version of Netflix.
How to watch Young Sheldon in Canada
Young Sheldon airs Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. ET on CTV in Canada. You’ll need to create an account with your email address and phone number to sign on to the service. CTV has all Season 7 episodes and a few episodes from Seasons 1 and 6, although this changes frequently.
