Nothing Is More Confusing Than Trying To Stream "RuPaul's Drag Race" — Here's How To Watch Every Season

Lady Camden feels the hype. 

Ts Madison is joining the judging panel, the show is moving from VH1 to MTV, and 16 new queens are arriving to compete to be America's Next Drag Superstar. The queens hunting for the crown and $200,000 are Amethyst, Anetra, Aura Mayari, Irene Dubois, Jax, Loosey LaDuca, Luxx Noir London, Malaysia Babydoll Foxx, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Princess Poppy, Robin Fierce, Salina EsTitties, Sasha Colby, Spice, and Sugar. 

Feel free to scream. 

The US franchise switched networks to VH1 during its run (and then moved to MTV this year), and there have been several different handoffs in the CBS/Viacom/Paramount corporation, which also confuses things. And then, of course, the international seasons are airing on channels not broadcast in the US. But even still, this seems needlessly complicated, and if I were Ru, I'd be trying to consolidate a bit. 

Some of them aren't even available for video on demand, which is shocking. 

*Hair flip*

Let's start with that original recipe! The main franchise is available on the most streaming platforms, but the bad news is, there isn't one platform that has every season, so you're gonna have to hunt around if you want all 14 completed races for the crown. This is all made even more complicated with the upcoming 15th season and the franchise's move from VH1 to MTV. It is VERY strange to me that Season 14 (and the upcoming Season 15) aren't available on Paramount+, when VH1/MTV (the cable channels they aired on originally) are also owned by parent company Paramount Global, but I have a degree in English, so what do I know about entertainment contract law. Some are on Hulu. Some are on the MTV website (even though they originally aired on VH1), which you can log into through a cable provider. None are on WOW Presents Plus (in the US), the streaming service created by World of Wonder, Drag Race's production company. Here are all the links for your viewing pleasure, though:

The plot thickens. Untucked is a supplemental show featuring extra content from the main show that they can't fit into the episode. Famously, if you're not watching Untucked, you're only getting half the story. However, also famously, if you're streaming, you might have to switch apps in order to get the half of the story you are missing. The show originally aired on Logo but then was bumped to YouTube for three seasons before it moved to VH1 with the main series, and now has transferred again over to MTV, so this is pure chaos. AND to confuse matters even further, Drag Race Season 1's Untucked was called Under the Hood and is not available to stream anywhere. This means that in some places (like Paramount+ and VH1), the Untucked seasons are labeled one season ahead of the Drag Race season. Technically, the first season of Untucked was attached to the second season of Drag Race, if you follow. For the sake of clarity, however, I will be referring to each Untucked season by the number of its corresponding Drag Race season. Here are the links: 

Seven seasons. Three different networks. If you thought this was gonna get any easier, think again. The spinoff franchise featuring returning queens from the main franchise originally aired on Logo for two seasons before making the jump to VH1 for Season 3. With the arrival of Paramount+, however, the series was moved exclusively to the streaming app. Here are the links: 

Like its counterpart, All Stars: Untucked! has aired on three different networks. However, as All Stars has shifted its format, the need for the spinoff wasn't always necessary, so there are several All Stars seasons without an Untucked at all. This, yet again, leads to some wonky numbering of the seasons on Paramount+, but for clarity, I'll be listing them by their corresponding All Stars season:

The Drag Race empire continues to expand with franchises popping up here, there, and everywhere. Ru is on some, not on others. Most are available in the US via WOW Presents Plus but air on a variety of channels in their home countries. Here are the locations to stream them all in the US:
