The 42nd season of “Survivor” premieres Wednesday, March 9, 2022 on CBS with Jeff Probst once again returning as host/producer.

Can I watch “Survivor 42” live on Paramount Plus?
Yes indeed! For fans who don’t have access to cable TV or a strong antennae, you can watch a live feed of your local CBS market on Paramount Plus with a Premium subscription. This will cost you $9.99/month after a seven-day free trial.
Where can I watch all seasons of “Survivor” for free?
Paramount Plus is the official streaming home of “Survivor.” Pull out the popcorn because you can watch every single one of the first 41 installments with the Essential package, which costs $4.99/month after a seven-day free trial. Note that Paramount Plus used to also stream “Australian Survivor” and “Survivor South Africa,” but they lost the rights to carry these spin-off series in February 2022.
Can I watch “Survivor” on Hulu?
As of this writing, most old seasons of “Survivor” are available on Hulu, but not all of them. You can currently stream Seasons 1-11, Season 16, Season 20, Season 22, Seasons 25-34 and Season 37 on the platform. The reason Hulu doesn’t carry all of the former season is due to rights issues. A Hulu subscription costs $6.99/month after a one-month free trial.
Is “Survivor” on Netflix?
Currently only two seasons of “Survivor” are streaming on Netflix: Season 16 and Season 37 — again, due to rights issues. In other words, if you’re looking for a platform that carries all or most of the past installments, you might want to go with Paramount+ or Hulu.
