How to Watch ‘Naked and Afraid XL’ Season 5 Online

First there was Naked and Afraid and now, the competition show Naked and Afraid XL has become a hit on the Discovery Channel as well. Season 5 premieres tonight, on June 2, 2019, at 8 p.m. ET/PT and 7 p.m. CT. For those who want to watch the show but do not have the Discovery Channel or a cable subscription, there are still options. If you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can watch a live stream of the Discovery Channel on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:

Philo TV

Discovery is included in Philo’s main 44-channel bundle, which is the cheapest among all streaming services if you plan on keeping it long-term.

You can start a free 7-day trial of Philo TV right here, and you can then watch Discovery live on your computer via the Philo website, or on your phone (iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV or or other supported device via the Philo app.

If you can’t watch live, Philo also allows you to DVR programs and watch them up to 30 days later. And even if you forget to DVR something, Philo also comes with a 72-hour rewind feature, which allows you to replay any event that has aired in the last three days.

PlayStation Vue

PlayStation Vue–which doesn’t require an actual PlayStation console to sign up or watch–offers four different live-TV channel packages, all of which include Discovery.

You can start a free 5-day trial right here, and you can then watch a live stream of Discovery on your computer via the PS Vue website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation (3 or 4), or other supported device via the PS Vue app.

If you can’t watch live, PlayStation Vue comes included with cloud DVR.
