Watch SNL online and stream season 47 online where you are

Brand new episodes of Saturday Night Live begin on Saturday, October 2 at 11.30pm ET / 8.30pm PT on NBC. 

For those with cable, simply tune into NBC to watch. For those without, however, there are plenty of options to watch SNL as it airs.

For those cutting the cord, the most cable-like package you can get is FuboTV, which includes NBC in its Starter package, costing $64.99 a month. Better still, new customers can give it and its 110+ channels a test drive with a 7-day free trial.

Alternatively, if you're after something more affordable, Sling TV is a great shout. NBC is available in select markets with both the Sling Blue and Sling Orange package. New customers can get the first month for just $10, thereafter paying $35 a month for 32+ channels.

Of course, there is also NBC's on-demand streaming service, Peacock TV, where you can get access to much of NBC's titles - including live streams - from $4.99 a month.
