This Is Us season 2 episode 5 live stream: Watch online
Here’s how you can watch This Is Us season 2 episode 5 “Brothers” online via live stream.
This Is Us season 2 episode 5, “Brothers,” will air Tuesday Oct. 24 at 9 / 8 central time on NBC. But, you may say, I don’t have cable! Worry not: Cord-cutters live among us and the powers that be aren’t going to let anyone go without access to TV. Which is another way to say, there are a plenty of ways to watch This Is Us online.
Broadly speaking, your online streaming options include network services (NBC), cable substitutes (Fubo, Playstation Vue) and the streaming giants (Hulu, Amazon).
NBC Live
NBC, the network that airs This Is Us, offers a live streaming app, called, intuitively, NBC Live. The peacock network allows you to watch any NBC shows on your smartphone, tablet, laptop or device.
As you may have gathered, NBC Live still requires a TV provider subscription to log in. But if you can finagle a login — try your parents, significant others, friends who live with roommates and are most likely to have cable — you are golden.
If you do manage to get NBC access, do something kind for your benefactor in return. Like deliver homemade cookies or a bottle of wine, or offer your Netflix subscription in return.

Hulu Live TV
Hulu offers This Is Us to all subscribers on a next-day basis, but one of the streaming service’s premium offerings — Hulu Live TV — provides live streams too. It’s more expensive, but if you’re committed to being part of Tissue Tuesday on Tuesday, it may be right for you. (And there is, naturally, a free week trial if that is more your speed.)

Amazon Video
Another live stream option is Amazon Video. While This Is Us season 2 is not included with Amazon Prime, you can buy single episodes or a season pass through Amazon Video to stream the show immediately.

Fubo
FuboTV provides access to over 75 live channels including but not limited to NBC. It works — and at $40/month, is priced like — a cable substitute, but if you currently have no streaming subscriptions to your name, it might be a good choice for your live streaming needs.
This Is Us, being as it is on NBC, also streams live on FuboTV.

Playstation Vue
Like FuboTV, PlayStation Vue is intended to provide essentially a cable experience for people who don’t want to pay for cable. The PlayStation name brand obviously means it works on that entertainment console, but it’s by no means limited to it. Vue also works on Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, desktop browsers and mobile devices.
Like most streaming services, Vue offers a five-day free trial or a seven-day single-channel (NBC, for This Is Us) trial.

The Dark Web

While you’d have to have burnt your way through a lot of free trials and friendships to turn to them, and we can’t encourage such behavior, the links do exist for your This Is Us live streaming pleasure. And that’s between you and your TV god.
