Heroes was a fan favorite back when it first came out in 2006, but the show sadly suffered in later seasons. The show featured a collection of stories of ordinary people discovering that they have superpowers and coming together to fight evil. If you are interested in checking out a cult-classic superhero show, then you might be wondering where to watch Heroes.

Status checked 2024/04/21:
The show features a large cast of men and women from diverse backgrounds. It follows the life of each character as they develop their super powers and discover greater insights about a coming apocalypse centered around New York City.
Unfortunately, many fans felt the later seasons lost track of the point and the performance quality waned. However, if Heroes is still on your watchlist and you want to follow the lives of these heroes from the first episode to the finale, keep reading this guide with easy step-by-step instructions on how to watch the series.
Where to Watch Heroes: Season 1 Through 4
Heroes originally aired on NBC, so it’s no surprise that all four seasons are available on Peacock, the network’s streaming platform. Additionally, the fourth season is available for streaming on fuboTV. Unfortunately, Peacock is only available in the U.S., while fuboTV is available in the U.S., Canada and Spain.
If you’d rather buy the show outright, or rent it for a limited amount of time, you can do so through Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Apple TV and Vudu.
Since Peacock has deals with various regional broadcasters for streaming rights, it can also be watched through these if you’re located in the right country.
- Sky TV or NOW TV in Ireland, the U.K., Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland
- SkyShowtime in the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, Albania, Andorra, Czech Republic, Hungary, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Spain.
- Various local NBCUniversal distribution partners in Canada, the Philippines and most of the Middle East.
If you live in or are located in any of these countries or regions above, you can also sign up for these streaming services to watch Heroes, but you’ll need a payment method tied to the country you’re in to create an account.
How to Watch Heroes for Free
Unfortunately, streaming all seasons of Heroes for free is not possible, unless you resort to torrenting or illegal streaming sites. Although Peacock does offer a free account, Heroes is not included with it. That said, you can use a free trial for fuboTV to watch the fourth season for free, but you’ll need a payment method from the U.S., Canada or Spain to do so.
How to Watch Heroes With a VPN
In order to watch Heroes from anywhere, you need to connect to a VPN that is capable of bypassing geo-restrictions and has servers in the U.S. For these instructions, we’ll assume you already have a Peacock account. If you don’t have an account and don’t have a U.S. credit card, follow our guide on how to get Peacock TV from anywhere.
- Sign Up for a VPN
Go to ExpressVPN’s website, click on the button that says “get ExpressVPN,” select the plan that suits you best and complete the registration process.
- Download & Install the VPN Client
Go to the “download” page and download the VPN client for your operating system. Run the installation file and follow the instructions to complete the setup.
- Connect to a U.S. Server
Once you’ve installed the VPN and logged in, find a U.S. server in the server list and click on the big power button to connect.
- Log In to Peacock and Start Streaming
Open the Peacock app or go to the website, log in to your account and start streaming Heroes.
The Best VPNs for Watching Heroes
Now that you know how to watch Heroes online with a VPN, let’s take a look at the two best VPNs for streaming — namely, ExpressVPN and NordVPN.
1. ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN is the best VPN for streaming Peacock, and the best VPN overall. This is because of its lightning-fast speeds and its ability to unlock every major streaming service. Beyond its streaming capabilities, ExpressVPN has an ironclad no-logs policy and a heap of security features such as a kill switch and split tunneling.
A kill switch will ensure that no traffic from your real location makes it to the streaming service (or anyone else, for that matter), and split tunneling lets you stream using the VPN while still having free access to your connection from other apps.

2. NordVPN
NordVPN is the second-best choice to stream Heroes, or any other show on Peacock. Like ExpressVPN, it has no problem getting past any geo-restrictions that most (it sometimes struggles with BBC iPlayer) streaming services put in its way.
It also manages to be even faster than ExpressVPN, making it the fastest quality VPN we’ve tested. It shares all the same security features as ExpressVPN, though unfortunately split tunneling isn’t available on macOS.
If you can’t sign up for a Peacock account and have to resort to torrenting to watch Heroes, NordVPN can help you there as well. It’s one of the best VPNs for torrenting and features dedicated P2P servers specifically for torrent traffic.
