Young Sheldon stars Iain Armitage as 13-year-old Sheldon Cooper (as of season 6), a science and math child prodigy navigating his way through East Texas Tech college. Sheldon’s family members include his gentle-natured mother Mary (Zoe Perry) and his war veteran father George Sr. (Lance Barber). This guide shares how to watch Young Sheldon season six and previous seasons from anywhere.
Key Takeaways:

Status checked 2024/04/18:
A CBS original, Young Sheldon will be readily available to stream in the U.S., but if you’re overseas, you’ll need to use a virtual private network (VPN) to watch it due to geoblocking restrictions. The best choice is ExpressVPN, but keep reading for more options, as well as instructions for how to watch Young Sheldon with a VPN.
How to Watch Young Sheldon: Season 6 Release Date
Young Sheldon season six premieres on CBS on Sept. 29, 2022 at 8 p.m. ET. To stream CBS live content and locked episodes on the CBS website, you need to sign in with a TV provider. Cord cutters can watch season six on fuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, and Paramount Plus. Episodes will be available for streaming on-demand on Paramount Plus the next day.
However, most of those options are only available in the U.S. If you’re outside the U.S. and try to access CBS or U.S. streaming services, a “this service is not available in your location” message is likely to pop up. Fortunately, you can use a VPN as a workaround.
If you’re in a country where Paramount Plus is available, you can simply subscribe and stream as normal. If you already have a Paramount Plus account but are traveling in a location where the service is not available, you can access it with a VPN.
However, if you’re in a location where Paramount Plus is not available and don’t have a payment method linked to an available location, you’ll have to purchase a Paramount Plus gift card from an online vendor and connect to a VPN to stream Young Sheldon (or other ones such as Star Trek: Lower Decks). Read on to find out how to make this happen.
Where Can I Watch Young Sheldon Previous Seasons?
Previous seasons of Young Sheldon are available on the following platforms:
- Max
- fuboTV
- Netflix Canada
- Netflix U.K. (three seasons)
- Amazon Prime Video (buy or rent only)
- Vudu (purchase only)
- Google Play (purchase only)
- iTunes (purchase only)
How to Watch Young Sheldon Free
Some unlocked Young Sheldon episodes are currently available to stream for free on CBS and you can access these with a VPN. We can’t confirm whether or not season six will be unlocked on CBS, but we recommend connecting to a U.S. server on a VPN and checking CBS’s website after Young Sheldon season six has premiered, just in case.
If you’re outside the U.S., you can access these with a VPN. Livestreaming services YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream and fuboTV offer free trials. fuboTV doesn’t have payment restrictions, so you can sign up for its seven-day free trial from outside the U.S.
You can also get a seven-day free trial with Paramount Plus, but you need a payment method linked to a location where Paramount Plus is available. For example, if you were to sign up in the U.S., you would need a U.S. payment method.
Paramount Plus is available in select countries outside the U.S., including the U.K., Australia, Italy, Finland, Denmark, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Chile among others. The content may differ depending on your location. If you’re outside a location where Paramount Plus is available, you can purchase a Paramount Plus gift card to subscribe to the service.

The 3 Best VPNs for Watching Young Sheldon
If you’re stuck for VPN provider recommendations, here are the three services we would recommend.
1. ExpressVPN
Pros:
- Very fast
- Unblocks streaming services
- Easy to use
Cons:
- Expensive
ExpressVPN is a premium VPN provider and our top recommendation for streaming on a variety of major services like Paramount Plus, Hulu and Netflix among others. It combines speed, security and consistency, so if you’re looking for a safe, quick, user-friendly VPN that simply does the job, ExpressVPN is a great choice.
One of the drawbacks of ExpressVPN is that it doesn’t come cheap — especially its monthly plan. You can save money by going for its yearly plan, though, which costs less per month. ExpressVPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try out the service risk-free. To find out more about our top VPN recommendation, check out our ExpressVPN review.

2. NordVPN
Pros:
- Blazing fast
- User-friendly desktop app
- Cheap two-year plan
Cons:
- Awkward mobile app
If you’re looking for a premium VPN provider that’s a tad cheaper than ExpressVPN, NordVPN is well worth considering. As per our recent speed tests, NordVPN was at the top of the pack with remarkable speeds, especially in U.S. tests. This makes it the fastest of all the VPNs we’d recommend for streaming.
The reason NordVPN comes up behind ExpressVPN in our recommendations is that there’s a clear difference between its desktop app and mobile app in terms of usability. The mobile app offers an experience that’s less smooth than the desktop app, so we recommend using NordVPN for desktop streaming rather than mobile streaming.

3. Windscribe
Pros:
- 15GB free data per month
- Unblocks streaming services
- Flexible paid plans
Cons:
- 3-day money-back guarantee
- 15GB not viable for frequent streaming
Windscribe is a VPN provider that offers a 15GB free plan in addition to flexible paid plans. You get 2GB data free when you subscribe, which goes up to 10GB if you confirm your email address. You get an extra 5GB for tweeting about Windscribe. Though it’s wise to be cautious when it comes to free VPNs, Windscribe is a perfectly secure, effective VPN for streaming on both its free and paid plans.
The main drawback to using Windscribe’s free plan for streaming is that 15GB just won’t last long — likely just a few episodes or perhaps one full season at most.
However, its paid plans are pretty reasonable and you can even build your own plan. This option allows you to choose only the servers you want to use. To find out more about Windscribe, check out our Windscribe review.

Final Thoughts
Though Young Sheldon season six will stream on geoblocked streaming services like Max, using a VPN is a simple workaround to make sure you don’t miss it wherever you are. You can also watch other shows available on Max such as ‘Adventure Time‘, ‘Fionna and Cake‘ and ‘Sleepy Hollow.’
A VPN also lets you access entertainment options beyond Young Sheldon. For example, you can access Hulu to Abbott Elementary, American Horror Story and Grey’s Anatomy or unblock Amazon Prime Video France to watch American Psycho.
