How to watch FBI season 6 in the US

FBI season 6 is set to debut on Tuesday, February 13 at 8 pm ET/PT, on the CBS cable channel. Subsequent episodes will air in the same slot each week. There's no need to worry if you don't have access to CBS, as there are several online alternatives.

One is to use a live TV streaming service to stream CBS, along with plenty of other cable channels. Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, DirecTV Stream and YouTube TV all offer CBS, which will of course include streaming access to FBI season 6.

Your other option is to sign up for Paramount Plus, the CBS streaming service that lets you watch CBS online (depending on where you are). 

Paramount Plus is also set to offer episodes of FBI season 6 as soon as they air on cable, so you can stream them at your leisure. However, you'll need to subscribe to the $11.99 per month Paramount Plus with Showtime plan for this.

The cheaper Essential plan, which costs $5.99 per month, will let you watch episodes a day later.

Can you watch FBI season 6 in the UK?

At the time of writing, there's no confirmed air date for FBI season 6 in the UK.
