While S.W.A.T. fans are aware that each season would eventually stream on Netflix, less people know that you can actually watch the show on Pluto TV for free. It’s unclear as to when season 8 will drop on both Netflix and Pluto TV, but looking at the other season’s release dates, it would probably stream in 2025.
Pluto TV
Pluto offers live TV channels and on-demand content, but what sets it apart from most streaming services is that it's completely free (though like Tubi, not without ads). The platform is owned by Paramount Global, so expect to see a lot of old movies and reruns from the network, as well as titles from CBS, CW, BET, and Comedy Central, to name some properties.

freeWho is returning to S.W.A.T. Season 8?
The main squad returns for Season 8. Shemar Moore leads the cast as Sergeant Hondo, and after last season’s shootout, he’ll be grappling with the fallout, along with missions that have personal stakes for him.
Despite his character’s near retirement, Jay Harrington reprises his role as Sergeant David Kay, while Officer Victor Tan (David Lim) and Commander Robert Hicks (Patrick St. Esprit) also returns to the series. Nichelle Carmichael (Rochelle Aytes), on the other hand, shifts to a recurring role.
But the biggest shakeup would be the new member joining the team. Annie Ilonzeh makes her debut in the series as Devin Gamble, though her entry to the team won’t come without challenges, since Gamble comes from a prominent LA crime family.
The previous seven seasons are available to watch on Pluto TV
All 141 episodes of the previous seasons of S.W.A.T. are available to stream on Netflix and Pluto TV, so you can catch up before the season starts.
