Where can I watch season 25 of Big Brother?
Though airing on CBS, those without a regular cable subscription can still watch the season premiere of Big Brother live with FuboTV, DirecTV Stream or a Paramonut+ with Showtime subscription.
If you’re unsure which streaming service to go with, we can break it down.
What is Paramount+ with Showtime?
The Paramount+ with Showtime bundle costs users $11.99 per month and is replacing Paramount+’s premium ad-free plan, which was $9.99. Existing premium subscribers will automatically be upgraded to Paramount+ with Showtime, according to reports from TechCrunch.
Although not a live streaming service, Paramount+ allows users to live stream certain content as it premieres on regular television with the premium subscription, such as new episodes of Big Brother and Survivor.
Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream live, but will have access to on-demand the day after the episode airs.
What is FuboTV and DirecTV Stream?
Both FuboTV and DirecTV Stream are meant for those looking for an alternative to a regular cable subscription. Both are great options for those who love to watch sports, news and other live TV events.
FuboTV considers itself a sports-focused streaming service, but overall, its standard package comes with over 100 live channels for $74.99 a month after its free trial. These channels include ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TLC, MTV and much more.
FuboTV also comes with a variety of shows and movies users can watch on-demand along with the option to record your favorite TV shows.
DirecTV Stream is similar to FuboTV in that it offers many of the same channels and features. At $64.99 a month, its base package comes with a little over 75 live channels.

How does Big Brother work?
Big Brother follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, someone will be voted out of the house, with the last remaining houseguest receiving the grand prize of $750,000.
Big Brother is produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment in association with Endemol Shine North America.
