You can stream all five seasons of Yellowstone in the U.S. exclusively on Peacock, the streaming platform owned by NBCUniversal. First four seasons and the first half of Season 5 are already available, while the final six episodes (Season 5B) became available on March 16, 2025.
Why Peacock Holds the Exclusive Streaming Rights
Peacock got the streaming rights early—back when Yellowstone aired on Paramount Network and Paramount+ didn’t yet exist. So Peacock became the exclusive home for the series in the U.S.
That split licensing means:
- You can’t watch Yellowstone on Paramount+ in the U.S., even though its spinoffs (like 1883 and 1923) are on that platform.
- All official streaming of the main show stays on Peacock—for now.
What’s Available on Peacock Now
| Content | Availability on Peacock |
|————————–|———————————-|
| Seasons 1–4 | Available |
| Season 5A (first 8 eps) | Available |
| Season 5B (last 6 eps) | Available since March 16, 2025 |
Past delays for Season 5B annoyed fans, but it’s now available in full.
Alternative Ways to Watch or Buy Yellowstone
While Peacock is your main bet, there are other options:
- Live TV streaming services like Philo, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV may carry Paramount Network, so you could catch episodes as they air.
- Digital purchase or rental is possible on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, and iTunes.
- Cable or satellite TV subscribers may access episodes on-demand through the Paramount Network app or TV Everywhere options.
Why It Matters (and Where Confusion Arises)
People often ask: “Why isn’t Yellowstone on Paramount+?” The answer lies in pre-existing deals. Peacock secured streaming rights before Paramount+ existed, locking the show into that platform.
Online fan discussions confirm this confusion:
“Yellowstone has never streamed on Paramount+ in the US. The show was made for the Paramount Network and the streaming rights were sold to Peacock.”
Keeping track of how streaming rights shift—especially across regions—can be tricky. In Canada and the UK, for instance, Yellowstone Season 5 streams on Paramount+ and SkyShowtime.

- Start watching Seasons 1–5 immediately:

Expert Insight
“The unusual licensing of Yellowstone shows how early streaming deals can diverge dramatically from where production companies later focus their own platforms.”
