Stream Every Episode of Lingo
New episodes of Lingo air every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Paramount+ is the best way to stream Lingo 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 Lingo 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 NCIS Hawaii episodes when they air Monday nights at 10 p.m. This plan also provides on-demand ad-free access to Paramount+ content, including this season of Lingo (Live CBS will still have commercials). After the 7-day free trial, the service price starts at $11.99.
Paramount+ Essential: This plan provides ad-supported on-demand episodes of Lingo the day after they air on CBS for $5.99 per month after a 7-day free trial. This plan doesn’t include live CBS, so you will have to wait a day for new episodes.
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 Lingo Free
There are two free methods to watch new episodes of Lingo 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.
