where to watch season 18 drag race

Season 18 of RuPaul’s Drag Race airs on MTV in the US, with live and on‑demand options through several streaming TV services and later availability on Paramount+ after the full season finishes airing. Outside the US, it’s typically available via local rights holders or WOW Presents Plus in many international regions.

Main ways to watch (US)

• Cable or satellite: Any traditional TV package that includes MTV will let you watch new Season 18 episodes live on Friday nights (around 8 p.m.).

• Live TV streaming: Services like DirecTV Stream, Philo, Sling TV, and Fubo carry MTV so you can stream Drag Race live or via DVR/on‑demand replays.

• Digital purchase: Episodes or full seasons are sold on platforms such as Amazon and Apple TV, usually available the day after they air on MTV.

Watching without cable

• DirecTV Stream: Includes MTV and offers a limited free trial, useful if you just want to sample Season 18 legally.

• Philo: A cheaper entertainment‑focused service that carries MTV; it no longer has a free trial but is one of the lowest‑cost legit ways to watch.

• Sling TV / Fubo: Both can include MTV in certain packages; good if you also want broader channel lineups or sports.

Paramount+ and past seasons

• Past seasons now: Paramount+ hosts all previous main seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race, so you can binge Seasons 1–17 there.

• Season 18 later: Season 18 is not on Paramount+ at launch; it typically shows up only after the full season finishes its MTV run.

International options

• Paramount+ in some regions: In parts of Latin America and other territories, new Drag Race episodes may stream on Paramount+ in addition to MTV.

• WOW Presents Plus: For many countries without MTV/Paramount+ rights, WOW Presents Plus is advertised as the place to watch Drag Race, including Season 18, shortly after US airing.
