Pick up the phone, as it is time to watch Better Call Saul season 6 online. We’ve had to wait through COVID-19 delays, Bob Odenkirk’s health scare and potential strikes, but the final season of the Breaking Bad prequel is here. And it's a super-sized episode (Editor's note: once you're caught up, check out our Better Call Saul season 6 episode 5 preview).

Better Call Saul looks to be taking us head first into Breaking Bad territory, with confirmation that Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) will be appearing in the show in some capacity. It also means we’re inching ever closer to Jimmy/Saul’s eventual downfall.

Better Call Saul season 6 start time, channel

Better Call Saul season 6 release date: Today (Monday, April 18)
Time: 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. ET / PT on AMC and AMC Plus.
Watch on: Sling TV and fubo TV (AMC) and AMC Plus via Amazon Channels

But Jimmy McGill’s ongoing transformation into the world’s shadiest lawyer is only part of the story. Better Call Saul’s final season also has to deal with the looming threat of Lalo Salamanca, who survived an assassination attempt at the end of season 5. 

There's also the question of what grim fate appears to await Kim Wexler, who just left a big client, got married to Jimmy and is plotting against Howard Hamlin. The lack of Ms. Wexler in Breaking Bad suggests she may have dark days ahead of her.

Honestly it doesn’t look good for her, considering she never once shows up in Breaking Bad, and is now on the radar of the Salamancas and the Juarez cartel.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Better Call Saul season 6. Just note that episode availability is going to depend on where you are in the world, and what services are available to you. And check out the trailer below:

How to watch Better Call Saul season 6 in the UK

Our friends across the Atlantic don’t get to watch Better Call Saul season 6 live with the rest of us, and have to wait a day due to Netflix having international rights, as with the previous five seasons — new episodes will debut weekly on Netflix, the day after they premiere on AMC. 

So, you can either wait for Netflix to update its catalogue at 8 a.m. U.K. time — an extra six hours to catch up with their American counterparts — or you can grab a VPN and get AMC live with the rest of us.
