How to watch DC's Legends of Tomorrow season 5 finale online from anywhere
Series-ender features unlikely cameo from R&B star Sisqó
The latest season of the Arrowverse superhero show comes to an end tonight with what's being billed as the most emotional episode of the series - read on to find out how to watch DC's Legends of Tomorrow season 5 finale online, regardless of where you are in the world.
Previews for tonight's episode, titled ‘Swan Thong', point to an intriguing musical cameo and the possibility that we may be about to lose one of the show's favourite characters.
The DC's Legends of Tomorrow season 5 finale airs on Tuesday, June 2 at 9pm ET/PT in the US - and as usual, its home is free-to-air channel The CW. This means it can also be easily streamed on Hulu, which offers a free trial of the Hulu + Live TV package you need to watch Legends of Tomorrow without cable.
Spoiler alert: If you're a bit behind with the show, then tread carefully over the next few paragraphs as we'll be covering plot lines for the later episodes of season 5. Please bear this in mind and scroll down for specific guides to watching The Flash online in countries other than the US - where the episode order may be different.
With the season's penultimate episode shocking viewers by bringing back Behrad and Zari 2.0, tonight's finale will need to pull out all the stops to top that emotional reunion. As the two siblings are unable to exist in the same timeline without bringing about the destruction of lives, the legends are now all at risk.
To add to the intrigue, a teaser trailer for the finale shows the team encountering R&B star Sisqó as they try to escape what appears to be an oppressive realm right out of the pages of George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984. Can the citizens reunite and join together to fight against the Fates and take back their freedom?
Read on to find how to watch DC's Legends of Tomorrow finale online and stream episode 14 of the hit Arrowverse show no matter where you are right now.

Sky has the rights to DC's Legends of Tomorrow in the UK, but it's a few weeks behind the US in terms of airing new episodes on Sky One. The channel will be showing episode 11 this Thursday at 8pm, with the finale not set to air until the end of the month.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow season 5 airs on Foxtel in Australia and that means fans of the show can make use of either the handy Foxtel Now (PC/Mac/web) or Foxtel Go (Android and iOS) streaming app to watch the big finale online this week.
