Arrow season 8 premiere live stream: Watch online

Arrow’s season premiere begins the final season and brings back fan favorites. Here’s how to watch Arrow season 8 episode 1 live on TV and online.

Arrow season 8 begins with an episode no TV fan should miss, so find out how to watch Arrow online or live tonight as The CW‘s first Arrowverse series prepares to say goodbye.

Tuesday’s season premiere is the start of the show’s final season, but it’s more than that: it’s also a celebration of the show’s history. As Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) resurfaces, the show is using that opportunity for guest appearances from many favorite characters. They include, but aren’t limited to, Tommy Merlyn (Colin Donnell) and his father Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), as well as Oliver’s mom Moira Queen (Susanna Thompson).

All of their returns were revealed in premiere photos a while ago, but why are they back? It is part of Oliver’s mission with The Monitor as Ollie spends this season jumping around time/the multiverse to prepare for that upcoming crisis. So, what is important about returning to this time (Starling City around season 1)?

Below is all the information you need to watch Arrow online and live Tuesday to catch the first episode of season 8.

Here’s how The CW officially describes the episode:

"While trying to decipher The Monitor’s mission, Oliver returns to Starling City where he encounters familiar faces. Meanwhile, Mia and William’s team clash with a new foe."
