Where to watch Survivor in the US
New episodes of Survivor will air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS in the US, starting on February 25. The cheapest way to tune into the show in the US is via Paramount Plus Essential, which has all 49 past seasons on demand and will upload new episodes of Season 50 on Thursdays. Subscriptions cost $9 a month. If you want to watch new episodes live on Wednesdays, you can upgrade to Paramount Plus Premium, which costs $14 a month and allows you to live stream your local CBS affiliate 24/7.
Paramount Plus offers a huge library of on-demand content from Paramount, CBS, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and MTV. The Premium Plan also includes Showtime and live CBS streaming. More importantly, it removes ads from the on-demand streaming library.
If you're looking for even more elaborate live TV options that carry CBS and other channels, Fubo or DirecTV will be able to help you out. CBS is available in all DirecTV Signature plans, which start at $90 a month, but you can also find it in DirecTV's MyNews genre pack, which costs $40 a month. Local channel coverage can vary by market, so make sure to double-check what's available in your ZIP code before subscribing. DirecTV plans come with a five-day free trial.
CBS is available in pricier Fubo's Pro and Elite plans, but it's also in the Fubo Sports + News lineup. This package costs $56 a month, but new users can get $10 off their first month of service after a five-day free trial.
Previously known as AT&T TV, DirecTV offers streaming access to a large selection of live channels, including most key networks typically found in traditional cable packages.
Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it'll cost you extra.

How to watch Survivor from anywhere
If you happen to be away from the region of your chosen streaming service right now, you can still keep up with Survivor by using a VPN (virtual private network). This will let you change the location that your electronic device is currently associated with, so you can access your usual websites and apps from almost anywhere in the world. VPNs also help boost your online security and privacy.
We recommend NordVPN, an easy-to-use virtual private network with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can read more about it in our NordVPN review and learn how to use it below.
NordVPN is top of the pile of the best VPN services. It offers excellent value, with a strong feature set and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs for a reason.
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. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
