Stream The Young and the Restless 50th Anniversary Celebration

paramount plus

The Young and the Restless 50th Anniversary Celebration airs Monday, March 27, at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS. Paramount+ is the best way to stream The Young and the Restless 50th Anniversary Celebration as the streaming service provides a live feed of your local CBS station.

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 The Young and the Restless 50th Anniversary Celebration when it airs. This plan also provides on-demand ad-free access to Paramount+ content on demand. After the 7-day free trial, the service price starts at $11.99.

Paramount+ Essential: This plan provides ad-supported on-demand content 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 after new shows air.

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 The Young and the Restless 50th Anniversary Celebration Free

There are two free methods to watch new episodes of The Young and the Restless 50th Anniversary Celebration 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.
