How to watch Married at First Sight: stream season 11 online from anywhere
Love is blind in New Orleans this season
Would you marry a complete stranger? That’s the premise of Married at First Sight USA, the reality TV show that began in 2014 and spawned dozens of international adaptations. For season 11 they're taking the show to New Orleans, where three relationship experts have the challenge of coupling 10 amorous singletons who’ve never met. Will they make the perfect match? You can find out yourself as we detail how to watch Married at First Sight season 11 online below.
The premiere episode will be broadcast on the Lifetime channel on Wednesday, July 15, at 8pm PT/ET, and 7pm CT. Each episode is two hours long – to fully explore each couple’s emotional journey – and will air weekly, with 17 episodes in total. If you don’t have cable, then a FREE Sling TV Orange trial will get you Lifetime.
Returning to join hearts in Holy Matrimony is our favorite pint-sized sociologist Dr Pepper Schwartz, fellow series stalwart Pastor Calvin Roberson, and sex and relationship expert Dr Viviana Coles. They had the unenviable task of whittling down thousands of love-sick applicants from ‘the Big Easy’ to just five compatible couples, and – *Spoiler Alert* – we saw the result of their picks in the ‘Matchmaking Special’ last week.
Paired up were 29-year old Amani and 30-year old “Life of the Party” Woody, both of whom had difficult upbringings; unlucky in love Christina partnered with clinical recruiter Henry; and 30-year old Karen with Miles, the latter eager to settle down at the tender age of 26. Meanwhile, the kooky coupling of Amelia and Bennett is sure to win over season 11 audiences, but less certain is the long-term viability of Olivia and Brett, given the revelation of an early indiscretion.
Once married, the couples will spend eight weeks getting to know each other, before deciding whether their new beau is “the one”. And if the answer is no? Then, as the show’s triggering motto goes, “there’s only one way out…and that’s divorce”.
Yes, the odds are against them – only one out of four couples have stayed together in the program’s six-year run – but we’re hopeful these unions can go the distance. So, get out those hankies you hopeless romantics, as we detail how to watch Married at First Sight Season 11 online from anywhere.

Plus, Hulu has the first nine seasons of the show available to view on-demand.
Sling TV: this budget friendly platform includes Lifetime in both its Sling Blue and Sling Orange plans ($30 per month for each). They’re currently offering a FREE trial deal available to new customers too, so jump on that ASAP if you want to catch the Season 11 premiere on July 15. And, if you find yourself wooed by their impressive value – Sling Orange offers 50 + channels and 3 device streams – do nothing and continue to enjoy programming from A&E, CNN, Comedy Central, and NBC (in select markets).

Like most services there’s a week-long free trial, and registering is easy: just enter your mobile number on the website. This grants you an initial two days access, after which you’ll need to provide your billing details to continue with the trial, although you won’t be charged until it ends.
How to watch Married at First Sight season 11 online in Canada
O Canada! In good news, our Northern neighbors with cable can enjoy Married at First Sight season 11 on their Lifestyle channel from 9pm ET. But, for the cordless among you, the latest matrimonial trials and tribulations remain absent from streaming services: nothing on Crave, Netflix, or Amazon Prime Video.
Still, mega fans can console themselves with small doses of seasons 1, 9, and 10 through Hoopla. It’s a free online library that works similarly to a physical one. You borrow a maximum of five items a month, and have three days in which to view your TV or movie content. Alternatively, if you’re willing to dish out some Canadian dollars, all 10 seasons of Married at First Sight USA are available to buy from Apple iTunes at CND$24.99 each, and we’d expect season 11 episodes to be available as they air.
Of course, this won’t be ideal for any Americans who’ve crossed the border for work. Luckily you can download a VPN as mentioned above, which will allow you to logon to your preferred OTT streaming service and watch Married at First Sight season 11 as it airs.
