The prize, as always, is the title of "Saul Survivor" and $1 million. Frankly, it's enough to make anyone want to don their colorful buffs and rat out their newfound friends.

Host Jeff Probst will be back this season to issue challenges, hand out Immunity Idols, and conduct the most tense tribal meeting ever. Season 45 of "Survivor" will also feature 18 new contingent members, including the return of Season 44's Bruce Perrault. The return of Bruce Perrault from Season 44 is one of them. As for the other castaways, they will hit the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji for the first time.

Just because CBS isn't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch Survivor Season 45 if you're away from home. With the right VPN (Virtual Private Network), it's very easy to watch the show along with the rest of the Internet. You can stream the show wherever you go.

We evaluated many VPN services and our top recommendation is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of many users and offers excellent compatibility with most devices and blazing connection speeds. It's also affordable at $12.95/month. (Signing up for longer periods, such as 6 months or a year, further reduces the cost.)

In the U.S., viewers can watch the first broadcast of "Survivor 45" on Wednesday, September 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

CBS is a local broadcast network that can best be accessed via a TV antenna, or a cable TV package.

If you are already disconnected and do not have cable TV, you can watch CBS on live TV services like Fubo TV, Hulu With Live TV, YouTube TV, and DirecTV Stream.

Of these options, we recommend Fubo, one of the best streaming services on the market.

You can also watch live broadcasts of local CBS stations with Paramount Plus with Showtime ($11.99/month).

Canadians can watch "Survivor 45" on the same dates and times as Americans; it airs every Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on Global TV and is also available on Global TV's streaming service.

Travelers who are in Canada and do not have access to paid streaming services will need the help of ExpressVPN.

Paramount Plus is available in the UK and Australia. However, it is unclear when episodes of "Survivor" season 45 will be available.

Those traveling to these countries who want to take advantage of the services they have already paid for should check ExpressVPN.
