NBC is the home of The Blacklist in the US and new season 8 episodes air every Friday at 8pm ET/PT and 7pm CT on the channel. That means you have a couple of options when it comes to watching online.

For starters, you can watch for free via NBC's website and its companion apps, provided you can verify your TV subscription. Or, simply check out its standalone streaming service, Peacock, which can be had for as little as $5.99 a month and offers FREE 1-week trial that allows you to watch a limited amount of shows like The Blacklist free!

But cord-cutters who frown on anything associated with traditional TV setups also have it good, as the channel can be watched through a number of over-the-top streaming services.

The most affordable option is Sling TV, which offers NBC in most major US metropolitan markets as part of its Sling Blue package, which costs just $30 a month and offers a FREE trial deal of its own.

Alternatively, FuboTV offers a complete cable replacement solution from $59.99 a month and offers all the main national broadcasters, as part of its core package - try FuboTV FREE for 7-days here.

Remember, as per our guide above, if you find yourself out of the country, you can use clever software like a VPN to watch The Blacklist online just as if you were at home.

The great news is that Canadian terrestrial TV network Global TV has the rights for season 8 of The Blacklist, meaning you can watch new episodes for free - and at the same time they air in the US.

This means The Blacklist season 8 airs weekly on Friday nights at 8pm ET/PT in Canada, and better still, Global offers a slick online streaming platform. You’ll have to verify your details to sign-up, but provided you can do that, you can watch The Blacklist without charge in Canada. 

Unfortunately, that's the only way you can watch in Canada - as The Blacklist season 8 won't be available without cable in Canada.

Can't watch The Blacklist as usual due to pesky geo-blocking restrictions? Tune in just like you would at home by using a VPN to magically reappear in Canada and gain access to all the content you'd normally stream - which directly or indirectly, you almost certainly pay for.

The  UK is well behind the US when it comes to new episodes and seasons of The Blacklist.

Season 8 isn't scheduled to premiere until 2021, so the best on offer right now is watching The Blacklist seasons 1-7 in the UK if you have Sky and its on-demand library of box sets as part of your package, where seasons 1-6 are available. If you don't have Sky on contract, its Now TV streaming service also offers the show with an Entertainment Pass.

While season 7 has aired in the UK, it's only available to buy at present. You'll find it on Amazon Prime Video, among others, where it costs a hefty £29.99 - a price comparable with buying a physical box set at Tower Records back in the day!

Anyone in the UK from a country where new seasons of The Blacklist are available can access the show like they normally would at home - all that's required is to a quality VPN and then just follow the method outlined above.

Those Down Under are in luck when it comes to watching The Blacklist, as it's one of the few countries where the show is available on Netflix. Seasons 1-7 are currently in the Netflix Australia library, and you can expect season 8 to be added after it's finished airing in the US - so early-2021, in all likelihood - although a Blacklist season 8 release date hasn't been confirmed.

If you happen to be going abroad you’ll find geo-blocking will stop you from watching The Blacklist on Netflix  like you normally would - don't worry - just use a VPN to point yourself back to Australia and you'll be able to tune in as usual.
