How to watch Survivor season 49 online

Survivor season 49 is set to premiere on Wednesday, September 24 at 8 PM ET. The upcoming season feature 18 contestants, all of whom are competing for a $1 million cash prize. We’ll cover where you can watch Survivor season 49 online. However, it may be geo-restricted in your location so we’ll also explain how to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to stream it from anywhere.

Remember that we only recommend official sources for streaming Survivor season 49 online. While there are bound to be unlicensed streams for this popular American reality series, they simply aren’t worth your time. Unauthorized streams are frequently taken offline for copyright violations. What’s more, the low video quality may well spoil your enjoyment. Don’t worry, we’ll show you several ways you can watch Survivor online, regardless of where you’re connecting from.

Survivor is only streaming on region-locked platforms. This means you’ll need a VPN to watch Survivor season 49 on your usual streaming services while traveling abroad.

How to watch Survivor season 49 online with a VPN

A VPN is a service that encrypts your internet traffic and provides you with a different IP address. You can then stream more securely and spoof your location, allowing you to unblock and watch Survivor from anywhere in the world.

Here’s how to stream Survivor Season 49 from abroad using a VPN:

1. The first step is to sign up with a suitable VPN service. We recommend NordVPN. However, Surfshark and IPVanish are also excellent options for accessing Paramount+ abroad.
2. Next, download and install one of the VPN’s apps. The recommended VPNs offer a wide range of apps and Chrome and Firefox browser extensions.
3. Open the VPN app (or browser extension) and connect to a server in the US. In doing so, you’ll receive a US IP address for unblocking Paramount+ abroad.
4. Go to Paramount+ and sign in before selecting a stream to test your VPN. The content should now be unblocked!
5. Having trouble? Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. Another potential solution is connecting to another US server.

How to watch Survivor season 49 in the US

If you’re in the US and have a cable TV subscription, you can watch Survivor season 49 on demand at no additional cost. This requires signing in to CBS via your cable TV provider. The content should then be available to stream!

Don’t have cable? You can watch Survivor season 49 via Paramount+. In order to watch your local CBS channel live, you’ll need the Paramount+ Premium plan. This costs $12.99 a month after a one week free trial. If you don’t mind waiting to watch after episodes have aired, you can stick with the Paramount+ Essential plan which costs just $7.99/month.

It’s worth knowing that you can also watch CBS via the following TV streaming services: FuboTV ($84.99/month), Hulu with Live TV ($82.99/month), and YouTube TV ($82.99/month). At the time of writing, all of the above popular TV streaming platforms offer free trials to new customers.

Whether you opt for CBS, Paramount+, or a TV streaming service such as YouTube TV, you’ll need a US IP address to watch from abroad. Fortunately, NordVPN includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out with all of the above services risk-free.

Where else can I watch Survivor season 49 online?

There aren’t many options for watching Survivor season 49 online elsewhere. Aside from the US, Survivor season 49 will be available on-demand in the following countries:

Canada

Season 49 of Survivor is available to stream on Global TV in Canada, premiering at 8 PM ET. If you don’t have cable TV, you can catch all of the episodes on Paramount+. Canadian viewers can sign up for the streaming service from $6.99 CAD a month. It includes a one week free trial for new subscribers.

If you’re traveling outside of Canada, you’ll have to connect to a Canadian server via a VPN, as content on the platform is geo-blocked. With a Canadian IP address, you can access your usual home streaming services and watch Survivor season 49 online from anywhere in the world.

Where can I watch past seasons of Survivor online?

You can watch all 48 seasons of Survivor on CBS. If you have a cable TV subscription, you’ll be able to sign in via your TV provider and watch the latest episode for free. Older episodes will also be unlocked, which means you can head over to CBS and stream them without a cable subscription too!

Alternatively, you can watch past seasons of Survivor on Paramount+ which costs $7.99 (USD) a month with ads or $12.99 a month without (and with Showtime included).

Hulu has 8 seasons of Survivor (seasons 14-19, 23, and 24). It costs $10.99 a month with ads or $19.99 a month without. Both plans include Disney+. Of course, a VPN and US IP address is required for accessing the above options.

Can I use a free VPN to watch Survivor season 49?

While a free VPN may be tempting, we strongly recommend against using one. Most people find that such services offer very few servers, limiting the potential to unblock websites and services in other countries. Worst still, the high number of users places a heavy load on the limited number of servers, resulting in poor performance. This is particularly noticeable when live streaming. You’ll also find that many free VPNs can’t unblock the likes of CBS, Paramount+, or Hulu.

It’s important to approach any free VPN with a degree of suspicion. After all, free VPNs are businesses and have to make money one way or another. Unfortunately, this may mean tracking your online activity and selling the data to third parties without your knowledge. You may also find yourself spammed with ads or have your device infected with malware. For this reason, we only recommend the best-paid VPNs that actually protect your privacy.

What can we expect from Survivor season 49?

Survivor first premiered in 2000 and is still going strong as it enters its 49th season. Contestants compete against each other in physical challenges alongside reward and immunity challenges with minimal access to food. Jeff Probst returns as the show’s host, and the show will host 18 new contestants who will go from being complete strangers to living together on the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji. They must learn to adapt or be voted out, and in the end, only one player will remain to win the one million dollar prize.
