How to watch 'The Pitt' online – stream 'the greatest TV show of 2025' from anywhere in the world
Highly-anticipated new hospital drama set in the emergency room of fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital

"The Pitt" is a 15-hour masterpiece and one of the greatest TV shows of 2025 so far. Noah Wyle plays Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch, who played Dr Carter in "ER". Each one-hour episode plays out in real-time, "24"-style. The viral hit is rated 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.
But where can you watch "The Pitt" online? What TV channel is it on? Can you watch "The Pitt" in the U.K.? We got you. Here's how to watch "The Pitt" online from anywhere with a VPN.
"The Pitt" drops on Max on Thursday, January 9 at 9 p.m. ET.
• U.S. — HBO/Max/Max via Prime Video
• CAN — HBO/Crave
• AUS — Binge 7-day FREE TRIAL
• Watch any stream — try NordVPN (30-day trial)
So, it might be more "ER" meets landmark Kiefer Sutherland show "24" and this lends a sense of realism and urgency to proceedings but, of course, there is just as much drama away from the defibrillators, IV pumps and bleeding patients. The fraught private lives of over-worked medical staff always make great viewing.
The excellent Noah Wyle has surely worn enough scrubs in his long acting career to finally be in charge of a fictional emergency room but the everyday heroism, invaluable wisdom and smart one liners come from a man who makes a virtue of hiding his feelings. But how long can he do that? We have 15 hours to find out.
The finale (which we loved) has already aired in the U.S. and Australia so prepare to binge the all 15 episodes. Below is our guide to how you can watch "The Pitt" online and on TV in any country.
