Here’s Where To Watch ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 16 If You Don’t Have Cable

I can’t think of a better way to kick off 2024 than with a brand new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I’ve been anticipating the release of Season 16 for months, and now that it’s almost here, I can’t contain my excitement. The upcoming season will follow 14 new dazzling, fierce, and gag-worthy drag queens as they compete for a chance to win a grand prize of $200,000 and the title of America’s New Drag Superstar.

Like past seasons, Season 16 is guaranteed to be just as glamorous as the 14 new queens showcase their charisma, uniqueness, and talent in a series of challenges.This season also marks a special milestone as it celebrates the 15-year anniversary of RuPaul’s Drag Race. You won’t want to miss this season and just to ensure that you don’t, here’s where you can stream Season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Where Can I stream Rupaul’s Drag race season 16?

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 premieres on Friday, Jan. 5 at 8:00 p.m. EST on MTV. If you’re someone who doesn’t have cable, don’t fret! There are plenty of ways to watch Season 16. If you know of someone with cable, one way to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 is to log onto the MTV app using their cable provider login information (I use my mom’s Xfinity).

If you don’t know anyone with cable, you can still watch the new season on live-TV streaming services like Sling TV, Direct TV Stream, FuboTV, and Hulu + Live TV.

The season 16 premiere will be split up into to episodes with the queens competing in two talent shows — one themed after MTV’s Spring Break and the other after the Teen Choice Awards. But unlike past seasons where the judges choose the bottom two queens to lip sync for their lives, the queens will rate each other’s performances to determine the week’s tops and bottoms. Talk about a twist!
