In 2022, Jimmy Fallon helped resurrect a national treasure when he fronted the new iteration of "Password" alongside Keke Palmer. And there's more word-based fun to come.
Below is the simplest way to watch "Password" from anywhere with a VPN, along with what you need to know if you are travelling and your usual stream is geo-blocked.
The first episode of "Password" season 3 airs on NBC on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 10 p.m. ET. Episodes will play on Peacock a day later.

The show actually started way back in 1961, with various versions running through to the mid-1970s before the game show was shelved. Thankfully, NBC picked the concept back up again in 2022 with Fallon spearheading proceedings as producer and celebrity guest contestant.
Palmer is the one running things as the host, bringing her lively energy and penchant for comedy to the show to give it a vibrancy it lacked in the past. She even won an Emmy for her work on the show!
Meanwhile, guests like Joe Manganiello, Jon Hamm, Heidi Klum, and Meghan Trainor have all appeared in the past. This season, we'll see Tiffany Haddish, Ice T, Savannah Guthrie and more join forces with standard contestants in the pursuit of the $25,000 prize.
Read on to find out how to watch "Password" season 3, including some free (and very cheap) options.
Watch 'Password' season 3 in the U.S.
In the U.S., you can watch the first episode of "Password" season 3 on NBC on Tuesday, June 2 at 10 p.m. New episodes will then air every Tuesday.
To watch live via NBC, you'll need a cable package which includes the channel. You could even catch that first three episodes for free if you sign up to a YouTube TV free 21-day trial, but you'll have to pay after that. Other providers like Sling, Fubo and DirecTV Stream are an option, too.
Peacock will be the streaming home of "Password" season 3, with new episodes being made available every Thursday after the episode airs on TV. You can also watch episodes live on Peacock if you fork out for the $16.99 Premium Plus plan.
Only after on-demand viewing? Look at getting a Walmart Plus 30-day trial costing just $1 and a subscription to Peacock being one of the perks.
U.S. subscriber abroad? If you’re traveling and find your usual apps blocked, you can securely access your subscription with a VPN.
Watch 'Password' season 3 from anywhere
Travelling and blocked from your usual apps? A VPN, or virtual private network, lets your device appear to be back in your home country, so you can securely use your existing subscriptions while you’re abroad.
We’ve tested many services, and the best VPN currently available is NordVPN. It offers fast, reliable connections, works on most devices, and you can try it risk-free for 30 days thanks to its money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is simple:
1. Install the VPN of your choice (NordVPN is our favourite).
2. Choose the location you want in the VPN app. For example, pick a U.S. server to use Peacock as normal while overseas.
3. Open your streaming service and start watching.
Can you watch 'Password' season 3 in the U.K.?
Unfortunately, watching "Password" outside the U.S. can be difficult. If you're in the U.K. on holiday, you'll need to set up a NordVPN account so you can change your location to access the show through NBC or Peacock.
However, there is a U.K. version of "Password" you could watch if you like the sound of the show. That game show is hosted by Stephen Mangan, with captains Alan Carr and Daisy May Cooper alongside him. You'll find the U.K. version on ITVX.
Can you watch 'Password' season 3 in Canada?
"Password" season 3 will not be broadcast in Canada either.
Just follow the steps above to watch the show by connecting to a U.S. server on a VPN like NordVPN and start streaming as you would at home.
Can you watch 'Password' season 3 in Australia?
You'll encounter similar issues in Australia. The only way to watch the show Down Under will be to use a VPN and set your location to the U.S.
Traveling away from the U.S. and don’t want to miss the fun? Use a VPN, such as NordVPN, to sign in to your Peacock account and watch as you would at home.

Keke Palmer is the host of the U.S. version of "Password" and she's been in the role since the show rebooted in 2022.
