Unfortunately, CTV doesn’t offer a streaming-only subscription option - so if you don’t have it as part of a cable package, you’re flat out of luck, which is a shame given such options are available in other countries.

Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions, Brits have to wait a few months until after season 18’s run in America. Last season debuted in November 2020, and only arrived on UK shores in April.

However, when it does finally air it will be via the Sky Witness channel, available with a subscription topremium telly provider Sky. Admittedly that can be a rather expensive option, but there are some greatSky TV deals and packagesavailable right now.
Alternatively, NOW TV is a solid VOD platform – just as long as you don’t mind waiting 24-hours after each episode’s broadcast. It’s £9.99 a month for their Entertainment pass, and it regularly provides special promotions.
