Stream New Episodes of CSI: Vegas
New episodes of CSI: Vegas air every Thursday at 10:00 p.m. ET on CBS. Paramount+ is the best way to stream CSI: Vegas as the streaming service provides a live feed of your local CBS station and will let you watch new episodes when they air on CBS. Paramount+ will also have the show available on-demand the day after it airs live, so you can watch CSI: Vegas on-demand if you miss an episode.
Paramount+ offers a 7-day free trial so that you can try the service with no risk. However, there are two plan options to choose from:
Paramount+ Premium: Provides live streaming access to your local CBS station so you can watch CSI: Vegas episodes when they air Thursday at 9:00 p.m. This plan also provides on-demand ad-free access to Paramount+ content. After the 7-day free trial, the service price starts at $9.99.
Paramount+ Essential: This plan provides ad-supported on-demand the current season of CSI: Vegas for $4.99 per month after a 7-day free trial. This plan doesn’t include live CBS, so you will have to wait a day after new episodes of season 2 air to watch.
Paramount+ is available on Roku Players, Apple TV, Xbox, Chromecast, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Fire TV Stick. See our review of Paramount+ for more information on this streaming service.
Watch New Episodes of CSI: Vegas Free
There are two free methods to watch new episodes of CSI: Vegas if you don’t have cable. If you live close enough to a CBS broadcast tower, you can use a TV antenna, but this option doesn’t provide a way to watch on-demand. An OTA DVR offers a way to record shows from a TV antenna, but that is an added expense.
Alternatively, you can take advantage of the free trials available with the following streaming services that carry a live stream of CBS:
- Paramount+ (7-day free trial)
- YouTube TV (free trial)
We cover these services in more detail throughout this article.
