‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’: How to Watch the Season 14 Premiere Online

VH1 knows how to get the year started correctly: by debuting a brand new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. The first Friday night of 2022 is here and so is the grand premiere of Drag Race Season 14. Are you ready to meet 14 more queens — er, well, 7 to be accurate. That’s right — this is a two-part premiere! We’re meeting half the cast this week, half the cast next week, and then they’re all coming together in Episode 3. But unless there’s a twist on the way, it sure sounds like two of those queens are gonna be gone by the time these halves become a whole.

So how can you stream RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14? How do you watch RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14 live? And can you watch Drag Race online for free? Wondering where to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race? You’ve got questions and, honey, we’ve got answers!

What time does RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14 come on?

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 14 premieres on VH1 on Friday, January 7 at 8 p.m. ET. And you can’t have a season of Drag Race without Untucked. RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked will premiere at 9:30 p.m. ET after a 90 minute episode.

How can you watch RuPaul’s Drag Race live online?

A cable login is the real golden ticket. If you have cable, you can stream the Drag Race Season 14 premiere live on VH1.com. But you don’t need to have cable to watch Drag Race live. VH1 is available to stream live if you have an account with a live TV streaming service, like Philo, or Fubo TV. The same goes for Sling TV if you pay for the “Lifestyle Extra” with VH1.
