How to watch South Park The Streaming Wars special for free online right now  - release date and time By Henry T. Casey published 1 June 2022 This South Park special isn't on Comedy Central (Image credit: South Park via YouTube) C'mon Kyle! It's time to watch South Park The Streaming Wars online, as it feels like things are finally back to "normal" when it comes to the South Park Paramount Plus specials. Because this special, at least based on the tease they've released, is all about one of South Park's classic feuds. Oh and a bit of news: we have the South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2 release date!South Park The Streaming Wars channel, release date and time detailsSouth Park The Streaming Wars debuted today (Wednesday, June 1) at 3 a.m. ET. • U.S. - Watch on Paramount Plus (opens in new tab) with the 1-week free trial (opens in new tab) • Watch anywhere - try ExpressVPN 100% risk free (opens in new tab) South Park The Streaming Wars is all about Eric Cartman and his mother's latest beef. The official copy from South Park reads "Cartman locks horns with his mom in a battle of wills while an epic conflict unfolds that threatens South Park's very existence." Going off the trailer below and the title? Well, it seems like the Cartman family is now living in a Coney Island Hot Dog restaurant (a popular fixture in Detroit) and that it has him fed up, and threatening to run away from home. Or, based on the title it feels like Liane Cartman's putting her foot down and refusing to pay for all of the best streaming services. We doubt that Cartman's going to have as plush a situation elsewhere, or if any of his friends will let him crash at their house. The only other character referenced in the trailer is Kenny, who Cartman shouts at from the distance. South Park The Streaming Wars could also be some kind of Star Wars spoof (Obi-Wan Kenobi is on Disney Plus right now). Fortunately, Paramount Plus is on all of the best streaming devices, so no need to worry about accessing it. How to watch South Park The Streaming Wars online anywhere on Earth Just because Paramount Plus isn't available everywhere (and it's expanding) doesn't mean you need to miss the South Park The Streaming Wars movie/special if you've travelled somewhere where it isn't working. Watching 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 options, and the best VPN is ExpressVPN (opens in new tab). 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.) (opens in new tab) Our favorite VPN service, ExpressVPN (opens in new tab), really shines thanks to its safety, speed and simplicity-to-use. It's also compatible with loads of devices - from iOS and Android to Roku, Apple TV and PlayStations.

Well, it's complicated. The official word from South Park's own press release says that the special will "will premiere Wednesday, June 1, and will also roll out in the Nordics, Latin America, Australia, and Canada." Just like last year, it seems like there will be a delay in the release. If you're traveling outside of the U.S., and want to watch South Park The Streaming Wars when it airs on Paramount Plus, you can simply use one of the best VPN services, such as ExpressVPN (opens in new tab), to make it seem like your device is back home.
