We’ve got to level with you…Paramount Network doesn’t exactly leap out when you think of original content providers, does it? But the channel might just have the best show on TV right now in Yellowstone. Follow our guide as we explain how to watch Yellowstone season 3 online and stream every new episode of the hit Kevin Costner Western from anywhere in the world today.
Yellowstone season 3 essentials
New Yellowstone season 3 episodes air Sunday nights from June 21 at 9pm ET/PT on Paramount Network. You can watch the channel without cable for free – just head to the Paramount website. Full registration requires you to log details of your TV provider – but they’ll give you a free 24-hour pass in exchange for a valid email address and birth date. Access is restricted to the US, but residents abroad can use a VPN like ExpressVPN to watch as usual.
That’s right. Ageless 90’s soccer mom crush Costner is currently starring in a show about a family of ranchers, on a channel you may well never have heard of, and you totally need to watch it today.
Take the leap of faith, because belying that potentially unpromising premise is a complex story of sixth-generation homesteaders trying to protect their property and way of life during a time of upheaval in the American West.
Costner plays John Dutton, the patriarch of a family that inhabits the largest ranch in the entire United States. But life for his clan is far from the quaint Midwestern ideal that gets advertised in tourist brochures. Instead, the Duttons are constantly struggling to defend their borders from unscrupulous Wall Street-backed property developers, maintain relations with their Native American neighbors, and negotiate the US government’s development of Yellowstone as America’s first national park.
Adding to the intrigue this year, season 3 of Yellowstone is set to introduce a new villain played by Josh Holloway – aka Sawyer of Lost fame/infamy. All in all, Yellowstone is as authentic as neo-Westerns come, with much of the show being filmed on a ranch in Montana.
So if you haven’t already, it’s time to hop on the wagon – follow our guide as we tell you how to watch Yellowstone online and stream every new season 3 episode as soon as it’s released.

Where else can I watch Yellowstone for free?
You can watch Yellowstone in most major TV markets – just don’t count on getting the latest season 3 episodes as they’re released in the US.
In the UK, for instance, you can stream it free via Channel 5’s on demand platform, My5. This means it doesn’t cost a penny to watch Yellowstone online – though you should be in possession of a valid UK TV license. Other than that, though, you’re good to go – My5 doesn’t even require you to register before watching.
The only real catch, therefore, is that only Yellowstone season 1 is currently available on My5 in the UK. But hey…it’s free, right?!
