The best ways to watch South Park as of 2025 are:
- New episodes of South Park (season 27) air on Comedy Central weekly on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET. These can be watched live on any live TV streaming service that carries Comedy Central, such as Sling, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV, Philo, and Fubo TV. Many of these offer free trials or discounts for first-time users.
- For streaming, the entire South Park catalog through season 26 (and moving forward, season 27 episodes the day after broadcast) is available on Paramount+. Paramount+ offers a free trial and various subscription tiers, making it an accessible option for streaming.
- You can also watch some free episodes and clips directly on the official South Park Studios website or Comedy Central’s South Park page, though these won't have the full latest season episodes live.
- Alternatively, South Park seasons and episodes can be purchased digitally on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, which also allows download and device flexibility, though this can be more expensive and delayed compared to streaming.
- Physical media like Blu-rays and DVDs are an option for collectors, especially since they include banned episodes and extras, but won't have new episodes until after the season ends.
