There are two main ways to watch: live through your local NBC station, or on demand on Peacock the following day.
Watch The Traitors: New Blood on NBC
NBC carries the first-run broadcast of every new episode. The show airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT. If you’re outside the Eastern or Central time zones, check your local NBC listing for the exact local broadcast time.
You can watch your local NBC station in three ways:
- Antenna: NBC is a free over-the-air broadcast channel, so a TV antenna picks it up if you’re within range of your local station.
- Cable or satellite: your local NBC station is part of standard cable and satellite lineups.
- Peacock Premium Plus: may provide your live local NBC station through Peacock, where available.
Recording it? Set your DVR from your local NBC station’s listing so the recording matches your area’s broadcast time.

Watch The Traitors: New Blood on Peacock
Peacock is the on-demand home for The Traitors: New Blood. Each episode arrives there the day after its NBC broadcast, and earlier episodes stay available, which makes Peacock the simplest way to catch up in order. You’ll need a Peacock subscription to stream.
Regular Peacock on-demand viewing is not the simultaneous live premiere. Live local NBC access through Peacock Premium Plus is a separate capability, where available.

Watch The Traitors: New Blood Online
Watching online can mean two different things, and they work differently.
Live online viewing: to watch online while the episode is airing, you need online access to your live local NBC station. Peacock Premium Plus may provide that where available. Regular Peacock on-demand streaming won’t have the episode until the next day.
Next-day online streaming: from the day after the broadcast, stream the episode on demand on Peacock. It’s the easiest option if you can’t watch at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT. Just stay off social media that night if you want to avoid spoilers.

Watch The Traitors: New Blood Episode 1 Live
Status: AIRED
Episode 1, “A New Dawn Is Rising,” opened the season as the first half of a two-episode premiere. The live broadcast has ended, so Peacock is now the way to watch it.
- Live on NBC: aired Thursday, September 17, 2026
- On demand on Peacock: streaming since September 18, 2026
What happened: This is where the 22-player game began. Host Alan Cumming selected Tomica Adams and Joe Vanella as the season’s first Traitors.
In the $50,000 shipwreck mission, the group secured the full amount. Victor Vollbrechthausen, Abby Lee and Madeline Kostopulos each took a shield. Victor’s early move drew criticism that followed him into the next episode.
The Traitors were also told to select two potential accomplices, which sets up Episode 2.

Watch The Traitors: New Blood Episode 2 Live
Status: AIRED
Episode 2, “I’m a Sweaty Boy,” aired the same night as Episode 1 and completed the premiere. Its live broadcast is over, and it’s available on Peacock.
- Live on NBC: aired Thursday, September 17, 2026
- On demand on Peacock: streaming since September 18, 2026
What happened: Tomica and Joe chose Katie Fites and Xavier Scruggs as their potential accomplices, and the accomplices carried out the season’s first murder. Kim Daily was sent away by boat, and the group discovered she was missing at breakfast.
At the Round Table, early talk centered on Victor’s shield-taking. Then Kriste Lewis‘s claim about Madeline Kostopulos became important. Madeline was banished, and she turned out to be a Faithful.
The episode also handed Katie and Xavier a death-warrant task, which carries straight into Episode 3.

Watch The Traitors: New Blood Episode 3 Live
Status: AIRED
Episode 3, “The Traitors Are Watching,” was the first half of the second two-episode night. Its live broadcast has ended, and it’s streaming on Peacock.
- Live on NBC: aired Thursday, September 24, 2026
- On demand on Peacock: streaming since September 25, 2026
What happened: Both accomplices completed their death-warrant task. Tomica Adams and Joe Vanella then recruited Katie Fites as the third Traitor, and Xavier Scruggs was murdered.
Logan Smith also relayed Xavier’s suspicion of Katie, a detail that matters in Episode 4.
In the crypt mission, players chose shields and a clue over a larger cash return. The clue pointed to two players who had battled in plain sight to become a Traitor.
At the Round Table, Jay Vinnedge raised Xavier’s warning. Suspicion also fell on Arisa Thomas and Victor. The episode ended before a vote, so this Round Table carries into Episode 4.

Watch The Traitors: New Blood Episode 4 Live
Status: AIRED
Episode 4, “The Death Parade,” aired the same night as Episode 3 and is the most recent episode. It’s streaming on Peacock now.
- Live on NBC: aired Thursday, September 24, 2026
- On demand on Peacock: streaming since September 25, 2026
What happened: The Round Table carried over from Episode 3, and Arisa Thomas was banished. She was a Faithful, the second Faithful banished this season after Madeline.
The Traitors then murdered Logan Smith. That mattered for the story: Xavier had first suspected Katie, Logan had repeated that warning, and now both were gone while Katie stayed in the game as a Traitor.
The Death Parade mission centered on a gold-filled wagon, and players who stayed behind at the gates faced danger. Jay Vinnedge‘s reluctance to sacrifice himself frustrated the group. Jay then turned his suspicion directly toward Katie Fites.
At the next Round Table, Jay accused Katie, but the episode ended before that Round Table reached a vote. This is a new Round Table, separate from the one that banished Arisa.

Our Episode 4 recap has the full Death Parade breakdown.

- Xavier was murdered.
- Logan repeated Xavier’s suspicion and was then murdered.
