I'm removing the duplicate, since the linked question stackoverflow.com/questions/7781851/… talks specifically about content scripts, and this is specifically about background scripts.

It's possible by modifying content_security_policy but that's bad practice which will be deprecated in the future ManifestV3 extensions and it'll make your extension suspicious in the eyes of WebStore reviewers.

DISCLAIMER: Loading background scripts from a remote site is generally NOT recommended, as it gives the remote script a lot of control of the user's browser if not their whole machine.
But if you insist, you could do something like this.
manifest.json
{
...
"background": { "scripts": ["background.js"] },
"permissions": [ "http://www.yourwebiste.com/*" ],
...
}
background.js
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", "http://www.yourwebiste.com/remotescript.js", false);
xhr.send();
let code = xhr.responseText;
eval(code);
Regardless... DON'T DO THIS! In the name of security, just don't. Unless you are experienced and understand the caveats, I would whole hardheartedly recommend you don't use this method as it might introduce the execution of foreign code that you might not have control over, i.e. the remote script.
