After a one-year hiatus, Black-ish is back with its entertaining blend of family drama, good-humor, and socio-political commentary. Only now the Johnsons are dealing with the upheaval of a global pandemic, and a presidential election too. Read on as we detail how to watch Black-ish season 7 online and stream this timely sitcom from anywhere.
Season 7 episodes air on ABC on Wednesdays at 9.30pm ET/PT, or 8.30pm CT (from October 21). Want an on-demand option? While an OTT service like Fubo TV (opens in new tab) can help if you've cut the cord. And you can watch from absolutely anywhere with the help of a VPN (opens in new tab).
Created by Kenya Barris (#BlackAF, Girls Trip), this multi award-winning show has received an Emmy, dozens of NAACP awards, and a Golden Globe for its lead Tracee Ellis Ross. It’s tackled thorny social issues like racism, inequality, and colorism head on, yet without pulling focus from its complex family dynamics.
As the beginning of season 7, love – and a deadly virus – are in the air. Dre (Antony Anderson) made the awkward discovery that Pops and Ruby had rekindled their relationship in the season 6 finale, while romance is on the cards for Johnson Jnr too. And in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the Johnsons contend with the tyranny of home-schooling as Bow (Ellis Ross) works around the clock on the frontline in the fight against Covid-19.
Full of joy and creative flair while also encouraging level-headed debate, the latest instalment promises to be relatable, educational, and reliably hilarious. So, prick up your ears as we detail how to watch Black-ish from anywhere as season 7 goes out.

How to watch Black-ish season 7 online from outside your country
Abroad on business or hoping to relax on a beach somewhere tropical? If you’re out of the country when season 7 of Black-ish airs then geo-blocks will prevent access to your usual VoD service, meaning you’ll miss all the trials and tribulations of the Johnson family.
