Tonight, "The Flash" will premiere on the CW, and now fans can watch the live stream online

In this premiere episode, "Scientist Barry Allen acquires super speed through a freak accident and becomes known as the Fastest Man Alive. In the opener, Barry, a CSI investigator, is struck by lightning and awakens from a coma nine months later with the gift of super speed. Barry puts his new powers to work when another meta-human attacks the city."

For the CW, there is a live stream of the channel which can be accessed here and here (depending on your region, one may be accessible over the other), and through that, fans can watch "The Flash" premiere live stream online.

There are a lot of fake channels solely for the purpose of luring viewers with ads, but here is how you can avoid any potential hiccups with pop-ups and ads.

--Do not download anything that is suggested.

--For every ad, there is an "X" button. It is typically in a corner or out of the way so it is hard to see. Sometimes ads try to fool you by giving you a fake "X" graphic which leads you to an ad. Do not be discouraged when this happens, the real "X" button is there somewhere.

--Multiple ads will pop and it takes a little bit to clear out each and every ad. Even then, pop-ups will occur as you clear the ads. Do not listen to any of these ads or pop-ups and clear them right away.

--"The Flash" premiere live stream will have recurring ads that pop up every once in a while. If this is the only way you can view "The Flash," do not be deterred and the live streaming will work once the ads disappear.

Be sure to check out "The Flash" premiere on the CW at 8:00 p.m. EST.
