Season 25 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit will return to NBC with an all new episode set to premiere Thursday, Feb. 1 at 9/8c.

During episode 3 of the new season, the SVU helps a man come to terms with being victimized. Meanwhile, Benson tries to support a victim’s family when tragedy strikes twice.

Where can I watch Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season 25?

Although this week’s new episode of Law & Order: SVU will premiere on NBC, those without basic cable can live stream new episodes the same day they premiere with FuboTV or DirecTV Stream. Both offer free trials for new users who can watch for free before committing to a paid subscription.

Those willing to wait can also stream new episodes the day after they premiere with a Peacock subscription.

What is the difference between FuboTV and DirecTV Stream?

Both FuboTVand DirecTV Stream are set up like any other streaming service, but rather than offering exclusively on-demand content, they both offer a plethora of exclusive live TV channels.

FuboTV considers itself a sports-focused live streaming service, but overall, its standard package comes with over 100 live TV channels for $79.99 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 $69.99 a month after its free trial, the base package comes with a little over 75 live TV channels.

What is Law & Order: SVU about?

The official series description of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is as follows:

The detectives that are part of the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit investigate crimes of sexual nature. While the focus of the other shows in the Law & Order franchise largely deal with murder cases, the SVU detectives frequently deal with crimes, such as rapes, in which the victim survives and assists authorities in the investigation.

The series features a cast of veteran actors, including Mariska Hargitay, Richard Belzer, Dann Florek and, after the first season, rapper Ice-T. Occasional crossover episodes feature detectives from other series in the Law & Order franchise.
