"Game of Thrones" season 6 is finally here! Today's the day and fans will soon see the fate of several of their favourite characters. For those who don't own a television, don't give up hope. The premiere of the sixth season may be watched through live stream.

Viewers may witness the momentous occasion by going to HBO Go to watch the live premiere online. This method, however, requires the user to have an HBO subscription. Fans may also watch through HBO Now.

The sixth season certainly has a lot going for it as it has been hyped up by many online publications and news outlets alike. The actors and actresses have also done a lot of promotion via interviews, and HBO has done its part by releasing teaser photos and trailers for everyone to enjoy.

Fans all know by now that the show's upcoming installment will see the return of Bran Stark after a season-long absence. The young Stark will have enhanced his warging abilities and will play a key role in the impending battle with the White Walkers. One other thing that fans can look forward to is the promise of the upcoming instalment being the biggest one in "Game of Thrones" history.

Season 6 will also be a big one for the female characters in Westeros and Essos. It has been reported that the women will find themselves quite empowered in the new season. It's true that "Game of Thrones" has not been kind to women in the past, but it also features some of the most capable and powerful girls.

As for Jon Snow's fate, fans are still holding on to the hope that the Lord Commander survived the traitorous attack from last season. But based on all accounts of those behind the scenes, things are looking bleak.

"Game of Thrones" season 6 will premiere its first episode, titled "The Red Woman," tonight on HBO at 9 p.m.
