How to watch Big Brother 2023 from anywhere on Earth
Just because Paramount Plus and CBS aren't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch Big Brother if you're away from home. Watching the show along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy with the right VPN (virtual private network). You can stream the show from wherever you go.
We've evaluated many VPN services, and our top pick is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds. It's also affordable at $12.95 per month. (Signing up for longer periods of six months or a year reduces the cost even more.)

In the U.S., Big Brother season 25 premieres Wednesday, Aug. 2 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and on Paramount Plus With Showtime.
Starting Aug. 6, episodes will air Sundays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. and Thursdays at 9 p.m. The latter will feature the live eviction show hosted by Julie Chen.
CBS is a broadcast network that can be accessed with one of the best TV antennas or through a cable TV package.
If you've already cut the cord and don't have cable, you can watch CBS on one of the best cable TV alternatives. Available options include Fubo, Hulu With Live TV, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream.
Of those, we recommend Fubo, one of the best streaming services and best cable TV alternatives lists. Paramount Plus is the streaming arm of ViacomCBS and the premium plan with Showtime comes with a live stream of your local CBS channel.
