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.
Paramount Plus with Showtime Monthly Plan (ad-free)
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
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.
Max with ads (Monthly Plan)
Formerly HBO Max, now just Max, this streaming service is the US home of premium content from HBO and Warner Bros. Since the rebranding, it’s now also the home of Discovery content for reality, food, true crime, and more. Prices start at $10 a month for ad-supported, $16 for ad-free, and $20 if you want to view in 4K.
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.
Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV includes over 90 channels, along with Hulu’s on-demand library and access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. Adding live TV drives up the price significantly, but it’s a rolling one-month contract that you’re free to cancel at any time. As live TV services go, though, this is one of the best.
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.
How to watch Young Sheldon in New Zealand
Young Sheldon Season 7 is available on TVNZ+ in New Zealand. New episodes are typically available sometime on Friday. You’ll need to create a free account to watch the show. The service also has all six past seasons of Young Sheldon available to stream, so it’s a great option for bingeing the series if you need to get caught up.
