The most iconic ladies of the Real Housewives franchise are hitting the road — and leaving drama in their wake, naturally — in an all-new season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip , starring Lisa Barlow, Gizelle Bryant, Teresa Giudice, Vicki Gunvalson, Luann de Lesseps, Kyle Richards, and Porsha Williams.
The spinoff's sixth iteration premieres Sunday, Aug. 9, at 9:00 p.m. EST on Bravo , with the eight remaining episodes airing every following Sunday at that time.
RHUGT -obsessed cord cutters can catch the action online, as Bravo can be streamed via leading live-TV platforms like DirecTV , Fubo , Peacock (its primary on-demand streaming home, where each episode will drop the following Monday), Sling , and Hulu + Live TV . Note that Sling and Peacock don't come with a free trial attached, but our team has found three workarounds for the latter that won't have you taking out your credit card before tuning in to the Real Housewives' latest.
The show's seven stars are coming together from their various cities before venturing to key Real Housewives destinations in the U.S. like Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Miami, New York City, and the Berkshires.
To commemorate the Real Housewives franchise's 20th anniversary, Season Six is aptly named Roaring 20th , and you better believe the onscreen developments will be nothing short of a 1920s-level extravaganza. Expect surprise cameos by beloved stars of past seasons and eras (read: Nene Leakes), rekindled friendships, fresh rivalries, and emotional trips down Real Housewives memory lane.
Richards teased the upcoming tensions on a recent episode of Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live , saying , "The shouting, the talking over each other, these personalities, so many different personalities all together… Fans are gonna lose their marbles. It's a fever dream."
➤ $42.99/month (cheapest plan) ➤ Five-day free trial ➤ Up to 185+ channels
Bravo is available in all of DirecTV's standard packages, from the most affordable Entertainment to the most well-rounded Premier with over 185 channels. It's also part of the streaming service's MyEntertainment Genre Pack, clocking in at just $42.99 a month after the no-strings-attached, five-day free trial concludes.
➤ $88.99/month ➤ Five-day free trial ➤ Up to 300+ channels
Fubo's free trial is back, giving customers five days of complimentary entertainment across hundreds of channels. Bravo is included with the service's Core and Ultra plans. Though you can cancel once the trial expires with no commitment whatsoever, you'd be wise to stick around and see the Ultimate Girls Trip Season Six saga through to its end. Fubo Core starts at $63.99 for the first month but is regularly priced at $88.99.
➤ $7.99/month ➤ No free trial ➤ Up to 50+ channels
No, Peacock doesn't have a free trial in place at the time of this writing. Yes, it's still a foolproof way to stream The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip , as each new episode of Season 6 will "begin streaming on Peacock Mondays at 6 a.m. ET beginning August 10," according to Bravo. At $7.99 per month for the ad-equipped Select plan, it's also the most cost-effective option on our list.
➤ $45.99/month ➤ No free trial ➤ Up to 50+ channels
Though Sling lacks a free trial as of right now, it's still one of our editors' most-loved ways to enjoy Bravo's hottest shows. The Blue plan that contains Bravo has a budget-friendly monthly subscription price of $45.99, but should you want expanded access to even more channels (that means more opportunities to discover your next binge-worthy watch), the pricier Orange & Blue plan is your best bet.
➤ $89.99/month ➤ Three-day free trial ➤ Up to 100+ channels
Take advantage of Hulu + Live TV's three-day free trial ahead of the RHUGT premiere, test-driving the platform before sealing the deal.
The sixth season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip premieres Sunday, Aug. 9, at 9 p.m. EST. The episode will be ready for streaming on Peacock, Bravo's official partner, the next day. New episodes (there are nine in total) will be released on Sundays.
The newest RHUGT season features returning Housewives favorites like The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City 's Lisa Barlow, The Real Housewives of Potomac 's Gizelle Bryant, The Real Housewives of New Jersey 's Teresa Giudice, The Real Housewives of Orange County 's Vicki Gunvalson, The Real Housewives of New York City 's Luann de Lesseps, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ' Kyle Richards, and The Real Housewives of Atlanta 's Porsha Williams.
