Yellowstone airs on Paramount Network, and new seasons stream on Paramount+
Yellowstone originally aired on the Paramount Network cable channel, where seasons 1 through 4 premiered. The fifth and final season split into two parts: the first half aired on Paramount Network in November 2022, and the second half aired in November 2024. If you have a cable or satellite subscription that includes Paramount Network, you can watch episodes there.
All completed seasons of Yellowstone are available to stream on Paramount+, the streaming service owned by Paramount. This is the most straightforward way to watch the entire series from the beginning, since Paramount+ holds the streaming rights to all five seasons.

How to watch on Paramount+ right now

Paramount+ works on most devices: iPhones and iPads, Android phones and tablets, Amazon Fire devices, Apple TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, Samsung Smart TVs, LG Smart TVs, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and web browsers on computers.

Paramount Network cable channel details
Paramount Network is a cable channel available through most cable and satellite providers in the United States. If your cable or satellite package includes Paramount Network, you can tune to it using your remote control. The channel number varies by provider—check your cable guide or call your provider to find the exact channel in your area.
Since Yellowstone has finished airing new episodes, Paramount Network no longer broadcasts the series on a regular schedule. However, some cable providers may air reruns of earlier seasons at various times. Your best option for watching on your own schedule is Paramount+, where all episodes are available whenever you want to watch them.
Buying episodes or seasons instead of streaming
If you do not want to subscribe to Paramount+, you can purchase Yellowstone episodes or seasons through digital retailers. Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV (iTunes), Google Play, and Vudu all sell individual episodes for around $2 to $4 each, or full seasons for $15 to $25, depending on the retailer and whether you choose standard or high definition.
When you purchase an episode or season, you own it permanently and can watch it as many times as you want on that platform. This option costs more upfront than a Paramount+ subscription if you want to watch the entire series, but it may make sense if you only want to watch a few specific episodes or seasons.
What to know about Paramount+ subscriptions
Paramount+ offers two subscription tiers: an ad-supported plan and an ad-free plan. The ad-supported plan costs less per month but shows advertisements during episodes. The ad-free plan costs more but removes ads. Prices change periodically, so check Paramount's website for current rates.
Your Paramount+ subscription gives you access to all five seasons of Yellowstone plus thousands of other movies, shows, and live sports. You can create multiple user profiles on one account, stream on multiple devices at the same time (depending on your plan), and read episodes to watch offline on the Paramount+ app.
Spin-off series in the Yellowstone universe
Paramount has created two spin-off series set in the same world as Yellowstone: 1883 and 1923. Both are available on Paramount+. 1883 is a prequel that follows the Dutton family in the 1880s during the era of Prohibition and the Great Depression. 1923 is another prequel set in the 1920s and explores the family's history during that decade.
If you finish Yellowstone and want to continue watching stories from the Dutton family universe, both spin-offs are included with your Paramount+ subscription. A third spin-off, 2024, is also in development.
