Grab your coats and get ready to laugh– it’s time to head back to the raunchiest town in Colorado.

Tonight, after eleven months of hibernation, South Park officially returns to Comedy Central for the premiere of its 26th season. So, if you’ve been suffering from a severe lack of ball jokes, social satire and politically incorrect fifth graders, set those DVRs for 10 p.m. Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s latest is sure to have you covered.

Per Comedy Central, this evening’s episode (Season 26, Episode 1: “Cupid Ye”) centers around Cartman becoming “jealous of the friendship that’s developed between Kyle and Tolkien.” Taking matters into his own hands, he decides to “do something about it.” A sneak peak clip released by South Park Studios doesn’t reveal any additional information about what that means, but given the title of the episode, it’s entirely possible the South Park team could be once again taking on one of their favorite targets: Kanye West.

Wondering how you can catch the full episode tonight? Here’s everything you need to know to tune into South Park‘s season 26 premiere.

How to watch South Park Season 26, Episode 1 live online:

Fans can watch South Park live on Comedy Central, or with an active subscription to Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV,  SlingPhiloDIRECTV STREAM or  Fubo TV, each of which include Comedy Central in their channel bundles. If you don’t have a subscription to any of those services, fear not– all-new episodes will be available to stream in HD on SouthPark.cc.comCC.com and the Comedy Central App post-premiere. Individual episodes of South Park will also be available to purchase on Amazon shortly after their live release.

Will new episodes of South Park be on HBO Max?

Though South Park is a Paramount produced show, due to a streaming deal made prior to the debut of Paramount+, new episodes of South Park premiere on HBO Max. That’s the good news. The better news? Individual episodes of South Park Season 26 will premiere the day after they do on Comedy Central on HBO Max. That said, based on prior experience with Season 25, sometimes the new episodes don’t debut at 3am ET a la other shows on HBO Max. If you don’t see the new South Park when you wake up, don’t panic; just wait an hour or two and try again.

Will new episodes of South Park air every Wednesday?

Though Comedy Central has only officially announced this week’s episode of South Park, and does not post their schedule in advance, we fully expect that another episode of South Park Season 26 will air on Comedy Central on Wednesday, February 15 at 10pm ET. As for how many episodes long the season will be, however, that’s TBA, too.
