Where to Watch Family Guy Season 23 & Earlier in 2024

The Griffin Family has been on our screens since 1999 and if you haven’t yet tuned into this dysfunctional family’s antics, we’re sure you’ll love it. Well, so long as you don’t mind politically incorrect and satirical comedy mixed with a bit of slapstick violence, sexual references and bad language. If you want to dive in, this guide shares where to watch ‘Family Guy.’

The popular comedy, which was created by Seth MacFarlane, was renewed for seasons 22 and 23 in January 2023. The 22nd season concluded in April 2024 and season 23 will premiere on Fox in the U.S. in 2025, with episodes available on Hulu the next day. If you’re outside the U.S., you can use a top VPN like NordVPN to gain access.

Whether you want to watch from the very beginning with season 1 or you can’t wait for new episodes of the animated series, this guide will explain how to watch ‘Family Guy’ from anywhere, including for free. We’ve included details for all 22 seasons, the upcoming 23rd season, the Stewie movie and the two new holiday specials for 2024. Let’s dive in.

Where to Watch Family Guy Season 23

Season 23 will premiere on Fox in 2025. It was expected to be included in the 2024 fall schedule, but Fox announced it will now be part of the midseason. Once it does start, episodes will become available the next day on Hulu. Season 23 will make it to Disney+ in other countries after its Fox premiere, though we don’t yet know when that will be.

Where to Stream Family Guy Season 23 for Free?

Unfortunately, ‘Family Guy’ season 23 won’t be available on any free streaming services, but there are two ways to watch it with a free trial. 

The best way is to use Hulu’s 30-day trial. Episodes become available on Hulu the day after they’ve aired on Fox and will remain available on-demand. If you don’t mind waiting until season 23 has finished, you can sign up for the trial and binge watch all of season 23 for free.

The second way is to sign up for a free trial with a live TV streaming service that carries Fox. However, there are some caveats. You’ll need to tune in at the time when season 23 airs live. Plus, trial durations vary, with Fubo’s being seven days and YouTube TV having up to 30 days. If season 22’s 15 episodes are anything to go by, even a 30-day trial won’t be long enough to watch the season for free.

If you’re not in the U.S., you can use a VPN to watch Hulu or another service. Most services have a money-back guarantee you can use to get a refund.

How & Where to Watch Family Guy Episodes Free Online With a VPN

While there are some free episodes on ITVX in the U.K., the only way to watch the full ‘Family Guy’ catalog for free is with a Hulu free trial. 

If you’re new to the series, just bear in mind that there are a total of 424 episodes (not including season 23) and each episode lasts an average of 20-30 minutes, with the odd one being longer. If you want to watch the entire series for free, you’ll need to watch 14-15 episodes every day for 30 days. That’s some extreme binge-watching, so make sure you order a truckload of popcorn.

Family Guy Cast, Characters & Plot (No Spoilers)

‘Family Guy’ was created by Seth MacFarlane, who also voices many of the characters (the most popular are named in the table below). The comedy series follows the adventures and crazy scenarios of Peter Griffin, his wife Lois Griffin, their three children, Meg, Chris and Stewie, and the family’s talking dog, Brian. 

Peter is an immature, clumsy, outspoken family man who has good intentions, but rarely foresees the consequences some of his actions will bring. Lois is a stay-at-home mom and the matriarch of the family, though she has some skeletons in her closet. 

Then we have Meg, a self-conscious 16-year-old who is often belittled by the family, and teen Chris who’s good-natured and worry-free, but has an evil monkey in his closet and a perverted old man crushing on him. 

The youngest child is Stewie; a one-year-old who acts like an adult, is very well spoken and extraordinarily intelligent, and has an unusual hatred for Lois. Lastly, there’s Brian, the human-like talking pet dog that’s probably the most sophisticated of the bunch.

How Many Seasons of Family Guy Are There?
