Those of you with a cable subscription can watch Supergirl season 6 live on The CW at 9pm ET/PT (8pm CT) every Tuesday. However, it will only air on linear TV at that time, becoming available for streaming a few hours later on Wednesdays.
When it does, the good news is it's 100% FREE to watch Supergirl season 6 online via The CW website - you don't even need to register, just press play!
If you really can't wait and need to get CW programming live, the way you would with cable, then you'll need an over-the-top streaming service that offers the channel.
Of the many options, we recommend FuboTV for those wanting to watch Supergirl, as in addition to offering The CW as part of its core package of more than 100 channels, it also gives you a 1-week free trial - so you can still watch Supergirl season 6 free online. Should you like what you see and decide to keep it, the cable replacement service costs $64.99 a month thereafter.
Outside of the US? Watch Supergirl just like you would at home with the powers of a good VPN.
Our recommended VPN is working well accessing The CW website, FuboTV and other US streaming services from abroad based on our latest 2021 testing.

How to watch Supergirl online in the UK
Sky has the rights to Supergirl and other Arrowverse shows like Arrow and The Flash in the UK, but there's no word yet on Supergirl season 6's UK release.
When it arrives, it will air on Sky One, which was its home for the previous seasons.
Getting a Sky subscription might not be as expensive as you think, so be sure to check out our dedicated Sky TV deals and packages guide to make sure you're getting today's best prices and offers.
If you're not already a Sky subscriber, Now TV is your best bet for watching Supergirl on the cheap and without a contract, with a Now TV Entertainment Pass the one you want.
Supergirl seasons 1-4 are available to watch on-demand via Sky, but you'll have to purchase Supergirl season 5 for £19.99 from the Sky Store or Amazon.
If you're currently out of the UK for whatever reason and can't access your usual streaming service, remember you can always just grab a VPN and point yourself back to Blighty to watch your favourite shows as usual.
How to watch Supergirl season 6 online: stream every new episode in Australia
It's better news for comic book action fans Down Under. That's because Supergirl season 6 is being shown on Fox 8 on Wednesday nights at 8.30pm AEDT, starting March 31.
It means it's pretty straightforward for Foxtel subscribers or Foxtel Now customers to watch the show - and also means it'll likely pop up on streaming-only service Binge sooner rather than later.
If you happen to be going abroad and are worried that geo-blocking will stop you from watching Supergirl like you normally would, don't worry - just use a VPN to point yourself back Down Under and you'll be able to stream as usual.
