You can watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert either live on traditional TV or on several streaming platforms, depending on what you prefer. It is also available on-demand the next day through a main CBS streaming service and on the show’s official YouTube channel.
Live on TV
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. Eastern Time on the CBS network in the United States. If you have cable or an over-the-air antenna that gets CBS, you can watch it by tuning to your local CBS station at that time.
Live TV streaming services
Several live TV streaming bundles carry CBS, so you can stream the show live without cable. Major options include Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and DirecTV Stream, all of which offer CBS in many markets.
On-demand next day
Full episodes are available on-demand the day after airing on Paramount+, which is CBS’s streaming service. Paramount+ offers subscription plans with and without ads, and you can access a library of recent Late Show episodes there.
Official network and apps
You can stream episodes and clips through the official CBS/The Late Show page and related apps. In some regions, partner apps such as Global TV also provide access when you sign in with a TV provider.
Short clips online
If you just want highlights rather than full episodes, the official Late Show YouTube channel posts monologues, interviews, and segments regularly. This is a free option and works worldwide where YouTube is available, though availability of specific clips can vary by region.
