The first episode lands as Edgewater and Station 42 deal with the fallout from a dam flood and a sinkhole that halts Founders Day festivities. It’s the opening act for a 13-episode arc that will follow firefighter Bode Leone as his path in the town becomes more complicated, with new twists and a crossover tease on the horizon.

Which devices and services can you use to watch?

In the US, you can watch the Fire Country season 5 premiere on CBS via a traditional broadcast or stream it on the service’s platform. If you’re streaming live, the service’s Premium tier carries the show. Other live TV options that include CBS, such as Fubo, also offer CBS with their packages. If you’d rather watch after the fact, you can rely on CBS’s site or app where episodes become available to on-demand viewers.

Canadian viewers can catch Fire Country season 5 on Global TV and STACKTV. You can also stream the service in Canada if you already have a subscription to that platform.

Is there a way to watch from outside the US or Canada?

Yes, a virtual private network (VPN) can make your device appear to be in another country so you can access your usual streaming service. The guidance is for viewing from abroad, which is common for fans traveling or living in another country. Remember, use of VPNs should follow each service’s terms and conditions and local laws.

03

What does this mean for everyday viewers?

If you’re paying for streaming, you’re potentially juggling more than one service to see Fire Country. The US setup means a CBS broadcast plus streaming on the service. If you’re on a streaming-only plan, you might look at bundles or free trial offers to test the streaming option or a live-TV service that includes CBS at the right price. In Canada, your options expand to Global TV, STACKTV, and the streaming service depending on your subscription choices. If you’re already paying for a bundled streaming plan, check whether it includes CBS or the streaming service to avoid paying twice for the same show.
