Stream New Episodes of Young Sheldon

paramount plus

New episodes of Young Sheldon air every Thursday at 8 p.m. ET/7 C on CBS. Paramount+ (Formerly CBS All Access) is the best way to stream Young Sheldon 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 current season of the show available on-demand the day after it airs live, so you can watch Young Sheldon 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 Young Sheldon episodes when they air Thursday at 10 p.m. This plan also provides on-demand ad-free access to Paramount+ content, although it does not currently have past seasons of Young Sheldon on demand. 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 Young Sheldon 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 6 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 Young Sheldon Free

There are two free methods to watch new episodes of Young Sheldon 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)
  • DIRECTV STREAM (5-day free trial)
  • YouTube TV (free trial)

We cover these services in more detail throughout this article.

Watch Past Seasons of Young Sheldon
