The Arrowverse has come a long way since Oliver Queen first donned a green hood and made it his life's mission to save Star City back in 2012. One of the shows that now make up the shared DC universe is Supergirl, which has either just finished or may be just resuming, depending on where you live. With that in mind, here's how to start watching Crisis on Infinite Earths and stream Supergirl season 5 online from all over the world - including for free where available.
Supergirl season 5 premiered on October 6, 2019 in the US, where it's shown on The CW. The season finale was on March 29 there, while in the UK the second half of season 5 resumed on March 30 with episode 9, 'Crisis on Infinite Earths: part one'. Stateside fans are definitely the more privileged, as The CW is a free-to-air channel that can be easily streamed on Hulu in many parts of America, for those who prefer cord-cutting solutions. It has already been renewed for a sixth season.
The show was the third to launch as part of the Arrowverse, following Arrow and The Flash. It stars Melissa Benoist as Supergirl, aka Kara Danvers or Kara Zor-el, and follows her as she comes to terms with her powers and takes on the role of National City's protector. That's a very simplistic overview of the series, which is one of the best superhero shows around and too good to risk spoiling.
With over 100 episodes aired to date, Supergirl makes for great binge-viewing if you're stuck at home under lockdown, so without further ado here's how to watch Supergirl online - stream Crisis on Infinite Earths and all of season 5 no matter where you are in the world with the help of our guide.

How to watch Supergirl from outside your country
Those who already have a streaming service they use to watch Supergirl online may find themselves unable to access it when abroad, due to pesky geo-blocking restrictions. Yes, we're aware that most of us aren't going anywhere in the near future, but global travel will one day resume and, god forbid, you may even be stuck abroad during these difficult times.
Fortunately, there's an easy solution to geo-blocking. Downloading a VPN will allow you to watch Crisis on Infinite Earths and stream Supergirl season 5 no matter where you are. This simple bit of software changes your IP address so that you can access episodes live or on demand just like you would at home.
