Watch It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 17: Synopsis
Celebrating twenty years on the air, the hilariously dark FX comedy – now America’s longest running sitcom – returns with two bonkers ABC crossovers (The Golden Bachelor and Abbot’s Elementary) and more harebrained schemes courtesy of the degenerates at Paddy’s Pub. Check out your viewing options below for how to watch It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 17 online, live or next-day on Hulu – and potentially for free.
It’s been a hot minute, but The Gang are back together and we couldn’t be happier for more of this clever, caustic, and utterly outlandish comedy series. The unscrupulous staff of Paddy’s – Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Charlie (Charlie Day), Mac (Rob McElhenney), Frank (Danny DeVito), and “Sweet Dee” Reynolds (Kaitlin Olson), – are still the same garbage humans we first met in 2005. Yet as per the FX press release, Season 17 will find them plumbing new depths to get ahead, no matter how much mayhem ensues. “They'll exploit cross-network promotion to increase market share; they'll scapegoat one of their own to avoid a PR backlash; they'll risk everything for a handshake with the Saudis; […] and they'll change everything about themselves to appeal to a broader audience.”
Mac and Dennis hatch a plan to become Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), and Frank may or may be on the verge of death. But, after the first Always Sunny crossover with Abbot’s Elementary (Season 4’s ninth episode, “Volunteers”), we’re most excited to see what actor Chris Perfetti describes as “the R-rated version of that day," as told from The Gang's POV. Plus, they'll be an ingenious crossover with dating series The Golden Bachelor that finds Jesse Palmer helping Frank to find love, and viewers can bet it'll be as brilliantly demented as ever.
It’s got an incredible series average of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and was hailed as “one of the all-time great sitcoms” by Collider. So, get in on these gut-bustingly debauched antics with the following guide, explaining how to watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 online and from anywhere in the world with a VPN.
How to watch It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 17 online in the US
“Chew on that thang!” US viewers can watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 on the FXX channel from Wednesday, July 9 at 9pm ET / PT. There’ll be a tasty two-parter at debut, before reverting to a weekly rollout of the remaining six episodes.
Long since cut the cord? There are a variety of ways to stream FXX, with IPTV services like Fubo and Sling TV, and episodes available on-demand via Hulu the day after broadcast:
FuboTV is an excellent cable replacement. It’s entry-level Pro Plan provides a lineup of well over 200 channels for $84.99 a month (after the introductory rate of $64.99 for your first month). And, if you’re new to the service, you won’t pay anything for your first week thanks to its 7-day FREE trial.
If you want something more affordable, consider a Sling TV subscription. To get FXX programming, opt for the Sling Blue plan, and then purchase the Hollywood Extra add-on. The base plan is just $25.50 for your first month (and $51 a month thereafter), while you’ll pay an additional $6 for the Hollywood add-on.
But, if you only want to watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a Hulu subscription might be the cost-effective. Hulu plans start from $9.99 a month if you don't mind ads, or $18.99 a month to lose the commercials (though not on select live content). There’s also a 30-day free trial available if you’re a new member or eligible returning subscriber. New episodes of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 17 will be available every Thursday, following their initial FXX broadcast.

Based in the Great White North? Then you can watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17 on Disney Plus from Thursday, July 10, mere hours after its US release. New episodes will be added weekly, and join the entire catalogue of episodes already on the streamer.
Disney Plus subscriptions begin at CA$8.99 a month for the platform’s ad-supported plan. If you want perks like ad-free streaming and the option to watch on the go, you can select either the Standard (CA$12.99 a month/CA$129.99 annually) membership or the Premium ad-free plan (CA$15.99 a month/CA$159.99 a year).
Previously, It’s Always Sunny has also been available on CityTV Plus, with a 7-day free trial when purchased through Amazon Prime Video as an add-on channel. However, at the time of writing, there’s no guarantee if or when CityTV Plus will add all-new installments of Season 17.
Can I watch It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 17 online in the UK?
The hit sitcom is licensed by Netflix in the UK – but as of now there’s no news when viewers there can expect to see It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 17. Based on the release pattern we saw with Season 16, fans could be in for a roughly three month wait.
You can watch Seasons 1 through to 16 on Netflix right now, but ONLY with the Standard (£12.99) or Premium (£18.99) ad-free plans. Due to licensing restrictions, the Standard with Adverts option doesn't allow streaming of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
But what if you’re a US Citizen abroad with Hulu? Get yourself a VPN to and connect to the streamer from anywhere.
Can I Watch It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 17 in Australia?
It’s not looking good over in the Antipodes. While prior seasons of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are available on Disney Plus, they’re typically only added a few months after their US debut.

Go monthly for AU$15.99, or get a great saving – effectively 12 months for the price of 10 – by getting an annual plan for AU$159.99.
