‘Jeopardy!' returns for Season 42 tonight — Here's how to stream new episodes
The show is coming to streaming for the first time!
nypost.comHere’s where you can watch Jeopardy tonight and in the near term.
-
Live local broadcasts: Jeopardy typically airs on your local CBS affiliate in many markets around 7:00–7:30 pm local time. Check your local TV guide to confirm the exact time in Johannesburg? Note: Jeopardy broadcasts are U.S.-centric; in South Africa you may not have a local live feed, so you’ll want streaming options or on-demand access. If you’re in South Africa, a direct local air time may not be available, and you’d rely on international streaming options rather than a local broadcast. For up-to-date, region-specific details, see official watch pages and regional streaming listings.

Streaming options (United States and international availability):
- Peacock: Offers Jeopardy streaming with new episodes the day after air; suitable if you’re in a region where Peacock is accessible.
- Hulu + Live TV / YouTube TV / Philo / FuboTV / Sling TV: These services carry local networks that air Jeopardy in markets where applicable; you can watch live or via cloud DVR if available. Availability depends on your location and service package.
- Paramount+ (CBS live feed in select regions): If your region supports CBS live streaming, you can watch new episodes there.
-
Free or low-cost streaming routes:
- Pluto TV (where available): A free option that sometimes offers a Jeopardy! channel with regular episodes; streaming access varies by region.
- Regional or network apps: Some outlets offer past episodes or limited free access; always verify current availability for your country.
Quick tips to watch tonight:
- Set reminders for the local air time if you have access to a CBS-affiliated feed, or plan to stream via a service that carries Jeopardy in your region.
- If you’re cord-cutting, a streaming service with a free trial can help you catch tonight’s episode and the next day’s streaming window.
- If you’re outside the U.S., your best option is a streaming service with international access or local streaming rights; verify regional availability for tonight’s episode.
Illustration: example setup for a typical viewer in a location with streaming access
