S.W.A.T. season 6

Unfortunately, CBS Studios has confirmed that the 7th season of S.W.A.T. won’t be releasing this year due to actor and writer strikes. On the plus side, this is the perfect time to get caught up, since the sixth season has just finished airing. Below, we’ll explain how to stream SWAT online from anywhere.

You should note that we’re only recommending official broadcasters. Unlicensed streams may well be available but these usually provide a vastly inferior experience, and often have episodes missing. Luckily, there are lots of ways to watch SWAT online legitimately, and we’ll cover each of these a little later.

S.W.A.T. is only available on region-locked streaming platforms. In other words, if you’re traveling abroad, you’ll need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to regain access to the services you’d use back home.

How to stream SWAT online from abroad

So what is a VPN? Simply, these are privacy tools that encrypt your internet traffic and send it through a server somewhere else in the world. This has the added benefit of allowing you to access geo-restricted content from anywhere. Here’s how to unblock S.W.A.T. as you travel:

  1. The first step is choosing a reputable VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are great options as well.
  2. Download and install the VPN app. Most providers allow five or so simultaneous connections, so feel free to install it on any device you use to stream regularly.
  3. Open the app and select a server in your home country. This will change your IP address and make it seem like you never went abroad.
  4. Visit your preferred streaming service and try watching something. You should now be able to watch as normal. If not, clear your cookies and try again, or failing that, contact your VPN’s support team for more advice.

How to watch S.W.A.T. live online on US TV

US flag - flag of the USA

The 6th season of SWAT is available on CBS. However, only the last episode is available for free. To stream any others, you’ll have to sign in using your cable TV provider details.

Trying to watch S.W.A.T. online without cable? Luckily, plenty of popular streaming services offer this show including fuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, and YouTube TV, all of which let you sign into the CBS website as well. These are pretty pricey, though, and while they may be worth it for watching season seven live (whenever it arrives), there’s a better option for those looking to rewatch older episodes: Paramount+.

This service costs $5.99 USD per mont with ads or $9.99 per month without, and comes with a seven-day free trial. In other words, if you’re quick, you can stream the sixth season of SWAT and cancel to avoid being charged. Netflix US has the first five seasons, even on its ad-supported plans which start at $5.99 monthly.

The services mentioned above are all geo-blocked and may not be showing S.W.A.T. outside of the US. However, NordVPN allows travelers to access the US library from anywhere. Best of all, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, giving you the chance to try it out risk-free.

Where else can I watch S.W.A.T. online?

S.W.A.T. might be set in LA, but it has fans in many places outside of the US. Here’s a breakdown of which networks are showing its sixth season in your country:

Canada

Good news: anyone with a cable TV provider subscription can stream every episode of SWAT online for free on Global TV. This network will almost certainly show the seventh season when it releases too, so you don’t have to do anything.

Cord-cutters are a little less fortunate, though. Instead, they’ll have to pay for Stack TV ($12.99 CAD per month on top of the cost of an Amazon Prime Video subscription) to watch the latest episodes. There is a 14-day free trial, so if you’re quick, you can avoid paying anything.

If you’re looking to get caught up, Netflix Canada has seasons one to five in English and Club Illico has them in French. These services start at $5.99 and $15 per month, respectively.

Remember: if you’re traveling outside of Canada, you won’t normally be able to use the services above. However, with a VPN, you can securely stream them from anywhere in the world.

UK

British fans can stream every episode of SWAT on Now TV, including all previous seasons. You’ll need an Entertainment pass, which costs £9.99 per month (or £6.99 if you sign up for six months upfront).

Unfortunately, this service doesn’t offer a free trial anymore. On the plus side, it lets you stream Sky One live, which is handy because that’s where new episodes have aired in the past. The first four seasons are also available on Netflix UK.

You can connect to a British VPN server to access both of these popular streaming services while traveling.

Australia

Foxtel is the official SWAT broadcaster in Australia, which means you can watch the entire show on either Foxtel Go (if you’re an existing TV subscriber) or Binge (which costs $10 AUD per month, with no cable requirement).

Remember: you’ll need a VPN to access geo-restricted content while traveling abroad.

What happens in SWAT season 6?

Things are a little different in the show’s sixth season, with much more international travel. This time around, Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson heads to Thailand where he collaborates with local law enforcement to pull off a major drug operation.

Meanwhile, the rest of the SWAT team races to address a prison break, random shootings, and drug cartel activity. Without giving too much away, we’ll simply say that this is one season you won’t want to miss.

Is SWAT getting a 7th season?

Long-time fans of the show can breathe a sigh of relief: SWAT is not getting cancelled. That said, it’s also not releasing a season in 2023 because of industry strikes. Additionally, the seventh season will be the last, and will be shorter than normal, as it’s designed to act as a farewell rather than continue the story.
