And with Yellowstone season 5 just being announced, you may be wondering where you can catch the latest episodes, either live or on-demand. Let’s take a look at your best options for watching Yellowstone in Canada.

fubo Canada costs $14.99 CAD/month, $29.99 CAD/quarter (3 months), or $99.99 CAD/year. The yearly plan is the best choice if you’re on a budget, since it’ll save you around $80 CAD each year.

Device support is good, too. You can watch on iOS or Android, web browsers, Amazon Fire devices, Roku, Chromecast, and Apple TV. Note that fubo Canada is not currently available on smart TVs or on Xbox game consoles in Canada.

Watch ‘Yellowstone’ in Canada with Amazon Prime Video
The good news here is that Yellowstone is available to stream in Canada on Amazon Prime Video. Behind Netflix, Amazon Prime Video remains one of the best ways to access American drama TV series like Yellowstone. And because Prime Video is available in Canada as part of a feature-inclusive Prime account, your subscription includes more than just popular TV series and movies. Prime Video subscribers access to other Prime member benefits, like free shipping.
Amazon Prime Video – Plans and Pricing
Amazon Prime Video in Canada is available with one of two subscription options:
- $CDN 7.99/month
- $CDN $79.99/year
| Amazon Prime Video 30-Day Free Trial $8.99 / month | 24,000+ titles Award-winning content 2 simultaneous stream | SIGN UP |
The option you choose really depends on how much flexibility you want in the subscription process. The $CDN 7.99/month option is fairly inexpensive, especially when compared to Netflix, where prices start at $CDN 9.99/month for the basic subscription level.
The $79.99/year subscription level is a higher one-time payment but will save you money if you plan to stay subscribed to Prime Video for a year or more. Paying for a full year effectively gives you two months of free service compared to the monthly subscription option.
Does Prime Video Have a Free Trial in Canada?
Good news for Canada-based Prime Video Subscribers! Most subscribers in Canada will get a 30-day free trial to Amazon Prime Video.
The only exception is if you live in Quebec. Amazon currently offers no trial for subscribers in Quebec. Instead, you get an extra one extra month for the monthly subscription, or one extra month for the annual subscription when you first sign up.
Can I Watch the New Season of ‘Yellowstone’ on Amazon Prime Video?
Yes, you can! Currently, Prime Video subscribers in Canada can watch every previous season of Yellowstone, as well as the newest season that’s set to premiere in June 2021.
For those new to Yellowstone, there are currently four seasons available on Amazon Prime Video. Each season has 10 episodes, so you can binge-watch all 40 episodes right now before Season 5 starts. Or, if you’re new to the show, you watch every previous episode to get all caught up. Since Prime Video has the sole broadcast rights to Yellowstone in Canada, the service has every past episode and will have every new episode once those episodes are available.
Amazon Prime Video Devices
Watch Yellowstone through Amazon Prime video on a large number of devices. Prime Video has apps available for iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, and TV-connected devices, including the Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Apple TV.
Can I Download ‘Yellowstone’ for Offline Viewing on Prime Video?
Amazon Prime allows you to download Yellowstone to a select number of devices for offline viewing. If you have Fire Tablet, iOS device, Android device, or the Prime Video app on Windows 10, you can download Yellowstone episodes to watch while traveling or when you don’t have an internet connection.
There are several offline viewing limits to consider. Downloaded videos will expire 30 days after you download them, or 48 hours after you’ve started watching the video, whichever comes first. Amazon doesn’t assign a specific number to how many videos you can download at a time, but it does indicate that the number of downloads you get depends on your location. Other sources indicate the limit is somewhere between 15 and 25 videos.
Watch ‘Yellowstone’ in Canada on Peacock
Although Yellowstone is a Paramount Network original program, it’s not available on Paramount+ in the US. Instead, it’s available through the live TV services Philo, Sling TV, fuboTV, DirecTV Stream, or YouTube TV. These services aren’t available or even easily accessible in the US, but if you’re in Canada and want an alternative to Prime Video, consider Peacock.
Peacock is owned by NBCUniversal, which currently has the broadcast rights to Yellowstone episodes from Paramount Network on-demand. Peacock won’t offer those episodes live, but it does provide them to subscribers after their air, including Season 5.
Watch ‘Yellowstone’ on Peacock with ExpressVPN
Living in Canada won’t hinder you from watching Yellowstone on Peacock. All you need a VPN and a subscription to Peacock, which has both free and premium subscription options. Peacock utilizes geographic content blocking, making a VPN necessary to access the service if you’re outside of the US.
We recommend ExpressVPN for anyone who wants to watch Peacock in Canada. We’ve written more extensively about how to watch Peacock in Canada with a VPN, here’s a quick summary.
Step 1: Create an account with ExpressVPN
First, head over to ExpressVPN and create an account. ExpressVPN offers multiple subscription tiers:
- Monthly: $USD 12.95/month
- 6 Months: $USD 59.95 (equivalent to $USD 9.99/month)
- Annual: $USD 99.95 (equivalent to $USD 8.32/month)
ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee to subscribers and for every subscription tier. Most other VPN providers only give you a money-back guarantee annual or longer-term subscriptions.
Step 2: Download the ExpressVPN app
Once you’ve created your account and logged in to ExpressVPN’s website, you can download the software onto your chosen device (iPhones, iPads, Android phones or tablets, Amazon Fire TV, and many others). Once downloaded, snag the activation code available through your account settings to complete the installation process.
Step 3: Connect to a US-based VPN server
To bypass Peacock’s geographic content blocking, you’ll need to connect to a US-based VPN server. Once you’ve installed Peacock, go to the list of available servers and select any server located in the US. Then, hit the “Connect” button (it looks like your standard power button on a computer).
Step 4: Create a Peacock account
You won’t be able to create a Peacock account until you’re connected to a US-based server, as Peacock will block your access if you’re outside the US. However, once you’re connected to ExpressVPN, load up the Peacock website. From there, create a free account.
Step 5: Stream ‘Yellowstone’ episodes
Once your Peacock account is created, log in and search for “Yellowstone”. Any episodes that are available to stream for free will load right away without restrictions.
Want Every ‘Yellowstone’ Episode on Peacock? Consider Peacock Premium
The biggest limitation to using Peacock in Canada is that many TV episodes are locked behind a premium account. This is also the case with Yellowstone. As of this time of writing, you can watch Season 1, Episode 1 with the free account. To watch any other episode, you need either the $USD 4.99/month Peacock Premium subscription or the $USD 9.99/month Peacock Premium Plus account (which gives you episodes ad-free).
Peacock only accepts payment via credit card or PayPal, and only accepts US-based payment methods. If you have either (for example, if you’re traveling), you can easily sign up using your US payment methods.
Should I Use A VPN And Peacock To Watch Yellowstone?
There are a couple of drawbacks to using this method compared to using a service like fubo Canada or Amazon Prime. Peacock will occasionally block certain VPN servers, so you may need to try a few before you find one that works.
This also is technically not allowed by Peacock’s terms of service, so if they ever figure out that you’re not in America, they could cancel your account. Still, this is perfectly legal, and a decent alternative to Amazon Prime Video and fubo Canada.
Also, you’ll have to pay a monthly fee for both a VPN and Peacock Premium. This may be worth it if you plan to use your VPN to unlock other services (to watch Hulu in Canada, for example), but if you just want to watch Yellowstone season 5, it may not be your best option.
