Survivor is back for its 47th season, and 18 new contestants have arrived on the shores of Fiji for the shot at being the final castaway. We’ll show you everything you need to know about where to watch Survivor Season 47, including free options.
Hosted by Jeff Probst, Survivor returns for its second season this year (and its 47th season ever). Originally premiering in 2000, Survivor has become the pinnacle of American reality competition shows. Each season pits 18 castaways on an island, where they are put into tribes that must survive various challenges and voting rounds. The winner gets $1 million and, of course, lifelong bragging rights. Among the contestants this year is former Obama speechwriter turned Crooked Media co-founder Jon Lovett.
Whether you’re a longtime Survivor fan or you’re hoping to watch the series for the first time tonight, we’ve got you covered. We’ll highlight global watch options, including free streaming and a limited-time-only deal on a US option.

Where to watch Survivor Season 47 in the US
If you’re a longtime fan of Survivor, there should be no surprises here. The new season airs Tuesdays nights at 8 p.m. ET on CBS in the US. If you don’t have cable, we’ve identified a couple of solid live streaming options to help you out tonight.
Paramount+ will be the cheapest option. To live stream the show, you’ll need to opt-in for the Paramount+ with Showtime tier, which costs $12.99/month and enables you to watch your local CBS affiliate live. If you don’t mind waiting a day to see the new episode, you can also just subscribe to the ad-supported Paramount+ Essential for $7.99/month. All 46 past seasons of Survivor are available through both Paramount+ plans.
For a limited time only (until September 23), you can get annual subscriptions to Paramount+ for 50% off using the code FALL50 at checkout. This means you can get a year of Paramount+ for just under $30, which is one of the best Paramount+ deals we’ve seen recently.
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. It costs $12 a month or $120 a year
CBS is also available through live TV packages, which allow you to live stream multiple channels as a low-commitment, month-to-month alternative to cable. Fubo is one of the best options out there, with more than 180 channels in its lineup. Subscriptions cost $79.99 a month, but you can get your first month for just $49.99 after a nice one-week free trial if you’re a new customer.
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.
Where to watch Survivor Season 47 in Canada
Survivor Season 47 will air at the same time as the US in Canada on Global TV. You just need to log in to Global TV with your Canadian TV provider and you’ll be all set to watch new episodes live. Global TV should also carry on-demand episodes for free within a day after they air. This version requires no cable subscriptions or account creation.
Where to watch Survivor Season 47 in Australia
New episodes of Survivor Season 47 will be available to stream for free on 9Now in Australia a little less than a day after they air in the US. This is a free streaming option that just requires account creation to use.
How to watch Survivor Season 47 from anywhere
If you’ll be away from Canada, Australia, or wherever your streaming service is located when a new episode drops, you can still keep up with your free options using a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy cybersecurity tools that enable people to alter their device’s virtual location. This means that you can use your usual websites and apps from anywhere.
Not sure where to start when it comes to VPNs? We recommend giving ExpressVPN a try. It’s user-friendly, even for beginners, and has a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee. You can find additional details in our ExpressVPN review.
With its consistent performance, reliable security, and expansive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in every spec and offering many advanced features that makes it exceptional. Better yet, you can save up to 49% and get an extra three months for free today.
How to watch Survivor Season 47 with a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don’t already have one.
- Install it on the device you’re planning to watch on.
- Turn it on and set it to an Australian or Canadian location.
- Go to 9Now or Global TV and sign up for a free account if necessary.

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.
