The eighth and final season of "Outlander" premiered on March 6, 2026, and runs for 10 episodes, bringing the main TV adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s novels to a close.
Here is how to watch "Outlander" season 8 online—and from anywhere with a VPN.
"Outlander" Season 8 premiered on Friday, March 6, 2026, and episodes are releasing weekly rather than dropping all at once.
• U.S. — Starz
• U.K. — MGM+ (FREE 7-Day Trial)
• Australia — BINGE
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
Season 8 picks up after the Frasers’ return to Fraser’s Ridge, now a thriving settlement. The overarching plot is largely drawn from the ninth book, "Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone", with extra material threaded in from the as‑yet‑unpublished tenth novel. Jamie and Claire hope for a quieter life, but the American Revolutionary War eventually finds its way to the Ridge, forcing them to decide exactly what they’re willing to sacrifice to protect their home and legacy.
Brianna and Roger, having decided the 20th century is no longer safe for their family, make the leap back to the 18th century with their children. A long‑whispered prophecy about Jamie’s death hangs over the Frasers, and new arrivals — including loyalists to the Crown — threaten the community they’ve built.
If you’re in the U.S., new episodes land first on the Starz app, dropping at midnight ET every Friday, before airing later that day on the linear Starz channel. U.K. viewers have a slightly different setup: Season 8 streams via MGM+ on Amazon Prime Video, with new episodes arriving on Saturdays. In Australia, episodes also roll out on Saturdays via BINGE or Foxtel.
Below, I’ll break down the official watching options by region and the easiest way to keep up with Jamie and Claire when you’re travelling.

Travelling and suddenly blocked from your usual streaming apps? A VPN (virtual private network) can make it look as though your device is back in your home country.

Prefer to watch on cable? Episodes air on the Starz channel at 8:02 p.m. ET. If you’re juggling subscriptions, Starz is available as a standalone service and is also widely sold as an add‑on through platforms such as Amazon Prime Video and Hulu.
The standard monthly price is currently $10.99, but deals do pop up so keep an eye out for them.
Watch 'Outlander' Season 8 in the U.K.
In the U.K., "Outlander" Season 8 is available on MGM+, which you can add as a channel through Amazon Prime Video. New episodes arrive on Saturdays.
In practice, that means you’ll usually need an Amazon Prime subscription first, then bolt MGM+ on top (listed at £5.99 per month at launch), and new customers will see a 7‑day free trial.
If you’re visiting the U.K. from the U.S., a VPN makes it possible to keep using your existing Starz subscription while you’re away. As mentioned above, NordVPN is our go‑to pick.
