‘9-1-1’ season 8 episode 5: How to watch, where to stream free

A brand new episode of the hit action-thriller series 9-1-1 premieres on ABC Thursday, April 17 at 8/7c.

This week’s episode is a continuation of last week’s episode. Viewers that tuned in last week witnessed the 118 heading out to a research lab that had been set on fire which quickly became a biohazard.

On this week’s episode, things pick back up with Athena and Buck as they race against time to rescue the rest of the 118 following the fire in the biohazardous lab.

Where can I watch 9-1-1 season 8 for free?

Those interested in catching this week’s new episode and the remaining season eight episodes can stream the series for free through Fubo or DirecTV Stream.

Fubo is much like any other streaming service, but instead of simply offering on-demand streaming, it offers an abundance of live TV channels such as ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TLC, MTV and more.

Fubo considers itself a sports-focused live streaming service but also offers over 100 live TV channels through its basic package at just $84.99 a month following its free trial.

Users can stream a variety of shows and movies on-demand and even have the option to record favorite shows and movies through Fubo’s unlimited DVR feature.

What is DirecTV Stream?

Much like Fubo, DirecTV Stream offers subscribers with a plethora of live TV channels and helpful features, too. The Entertainment package, also known as DirecTV Stream’s base package, starts at just $86.99 a month after its 5-day free trial and includes popular TV channels such as HGTV, ESPN, Bravo, CMT, CNBC, BET, CNN and more.

Two other DirecTV Stream packages are the Choice package (original price $114.99) and the Ultimate package (original price $129.99), both of which are part of an ongoing promotion that offers new subscribers $10 off the original price for the first three months of their subscription.
