How to Watch ‘The Simpsons’ Online – Live Stream Season 31 Episodes

By Gabriela Vatu / October 2, 2019

When it comes to animated shows for adults, The Simpsons is probably one of the best known on the market alongside Family Guy and other similar shows. As another season of The Simpsons is preparing to premiere on Fox, we cannot but feel eagerness to watch it all, especially online.

The Simpsons first aired in 1989, so it's been quite a while and we've got so used to watching the fabulous characters getting into all sorts of troubles and spread out the humor along the way. Even though there's been quite a bit of criticism regarding the show’s decline in quality over the years, The Simpsons continue to be one of the best on the market.

As the 31st season approaches, we are eager to see the new episodes because their descriptions are getting us inspired. It seems that Homer and Bart are going to become viral video stars, while Lisa will take a stand against the new detention policy in Springfield Elementary. Apparently, Homer will get an intern to help out with starting a business, but will instead get in trouble with the local Mafia in perfectly Homer-fashion.

When and Where to Watch The Simpsons?

The Simpsons is returning to Fox on September 29th and it will reclaim it's 8 PM Sunday slot. This will be the 31st season of The Simpsons.

What Can I Do to Watch The Simpsons Outside of the United States?

TV platforms are super easy to enjoy and they bring a certain freedom to watch your shows from wherever you may be. There is one limitation we can talk about: the fact that fuboTV, SlingTV, and Hulu are all geo-blocked, which means that you cannot access them when traveling outside of the United States. The blockade exists because there are licensing deals in place that need to be respected. Either way, you can bypass these limitations by using a VPN to change your IP address so the site thinks you are still in the United States. On TechNadu we recommend ExpressVPN, which is easily one of the best on the market, with thousands of servers across the world and really great security and privacy features.

Here's what you need to do to use Express VPN in order to watch The Simpsons:

Can I Watch The Simpsons on the Fox Website?

You can find a live stream that you can easily access on Fox’s website. In order to actually watch the live stream, you need to log in to an account by using credentials from your live TV service or your cable contract. Basically, Fox needs to see that you pay for a TV subscription where Fox is a part of.

Fox also has a mobile app that you can get for your devices, and you can download it for Android and iOS phones and tablets, Kindle Fire, Apple TV, Xbox, Chromecast Fire TV, and Android TV. (Note: Both the Fox website and the app are geo-blocked, so if you want to watch them when you travel outside of the United States you're going to have to use a VPN. Click here to learn how you can do this.)

Can I Watch The Simpsons With a TV Antenna?

Fox is one of the channels that continue to broadcast over-the-air so you can watch this show and many others with the help of a TV antenna. What's more, these devices are also popular because they are cheap to purchase and they offer people a way to watch dozens of TV channels for free.

We suggest you visit a site such as NoCable before you purchase any antennas because it will tell you exactly what channels are available over-the-air in your specific location so you can make sure that Fox is among the options. Also, it will tell you how far the broadcast stations are so you can figure out what range you need your device to have. (Note: Even on live TV platforms, Fox is a channel that is only available in select markets. If you live in an area that does not get Fox you can use a VPN to connect to a server located in a city where Fox is an option. Click here to learn how you can do this.)

Can I Binge-Watch The Simpsons?

Yes, that is something that you can do because The Simpsons episodes can be found on the Fox website, at least some of those. For most of the episodes you need to log in to an account using TV provider credentials to watch them. You can also check out the show on Hulu, where you can find the latest season with all of its episodes. Unfortunately, The Simpsons aren't available on Netflix and it's unlikely it ever will be part of the library there, in the United States or elsewhere, given the fact that Disney+ is launching in November.

Can I Purchase The Simpsons Episodes?
