Where to Watch The Equalizer for Free

If you don’t have cable (or a digital antenna to watch CBS and other local channels), streaming is the easiest and most affordable way to watch your favorite shows. And there are plenty of ways to watch The Equalizer — without spending money up front. For example, you can get a free trial through Paramount+, Fubo or DirecTV to stream the season premiere.

Keep reading for more details on how to watch The Equalizer on Paramount+ vs. Paramount+ with Showtime, DirecTV and Fubo.  

How to Watch The Equalizer on Paramount+

What is Paramount+ with Showtime? It combines two streaming platforms for one low price: $11.99/month after a 7-day free trial (use code: GOAT to extend the free trial for 30 days). The plan gives you access to the live stream shows via your local CBS affiliate in addition to on-demand streaming.

With the Paramount+ Essential, $5.99/month, you can stream The Equalizer on demand a day after the episode airs.
