Those with a cable subscription can watch the Walker season 1 premiere live on The CW at 8pm ET/PT on Thursday, January 21. However, it's only airing on linear TV at the time, becoming available for streaming a few hours later on Friday, January 22.

When it does, the good news is it's 100% FREE to watch Walker online via The CW website - you don't even need to register, just press play if you're located in the US!

If you really can't wait and need to get CW programming live the way you would with cable, then you'll need an over-the-top streaming service that offers the channel.

Of the many options, we recommend FuboTV for those wanting to watch Walker, as in addition to offering The CW as part of its core package of more than 100 channels, it also gives you a  1-week free trial - again making it's possible to watch Walker free online. Should you like what you see and decide to keep it, the  cable replacement service costs $64.99 a month thereafter.

Outside of the US? Watch Walker just like you would at home by summoning the powers of a good VPN.

While Corus Entertainment channels usually tend to pick up The CW's shows in Canada, that's unfortunately not the case here, with no confirmation of any other channel airing Walker in the region at this point.

Instead, anyone in Canada from a country where Walker is airing will have to use a VPN to regain access to their usual stream of the new show.

While Channel 4 often picks up much of the CW's output for the UK, no broadcaster in Blighty has so far picked up the option to show the rebooted Walker for the region.

The only alternative is to use one of our best VPNs as described above, set your location back to your country of residence where the show is broadcasting, and go from there. 

There's better news for those looking to watch the show Down Under, with streaming service Stan also premiering the show on January 22 more or less in tandem with the US.

New episodes will be available weekly on Stan — with every iconic episode of the original series also streaming on the service.

Stan offers three different tiers: Stan Basic, Stan Standard and Stan Premium, with the big difference being 4K is only available via the $17 per month Premium plan.

If you don't mind watching Walker in 1080p then the Basic plan for $10 per month looks the better bet. Stan is currently offering a 30 day free trial so you can watch a large chunk  of the opening season of Walker without potentially paying a penny.

If you happen to be abroad and are worried that geo-blocking will stop you from watching Walker like you normally would back home, don't worry - just use a VPN to point yourself back to Australia and you'll be able to stream as usual.
