4seven TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On 4seven Tonight

Published: 24 August 2026

4seven is Channel 4’s catch-up channel. It commissions nothing. What it does instead is take whatever from across the Channel 4 stable (Channel 4, E4, More4 and Film4) got people talking over the previous seven days and put it out again, which is where the name comes from.

It launched on 4 July 2012, Channel 4’s first new linear channel since More4 in 2005, and the premise hasn’t changed since. Everything in the table below has already gone out somewhere else on the network. Tonight, Tuesday 25 August 2026, two more editions of A Place in the Sun run at 5:30pm and 6pm before The Dog House takes the 7pm hour, Extraordinary Extensions follows at 8pm, Celebrity Gogglebox settles in at 9pm and Outback Murder Highway opens a four-part run, back to back at 10pm and 11pm. There’s no film tonight.

What’s on 4seven today

Tuesday’s schedule opens overnight with a run of factual repeats — Love You to Death, Murder Case: The Digital Detectives, Crime Scene Cleaners and a Gogglebox/Celebrity Gogglebox pair — before four hours of Teleshopping carry the channel from 5am to 9am.

American Pickers and Find It, Fix It, Flog It take the 9am and 10am hours, then The Great B&B Challenge closes out its own run at 11am. From midday, A Place in the Sun runs three editions back to back before Come Dine with Me takes over the rest of the afternoon, five half-hour episodes running from 3pm to 5pm. A fourth and fifth A Place in the Sun carry the schedule from 5:30pm into tonight’s primetime run — the 6pm edition is the same Costa Blanca episode Channel 4 airs itself at 3pm that same afternoon.

4seven tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the 4seven primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 25 August 2026.

A Place in the Sun — 4seven, 6pm

Property hunting still owns the early evening. Tonight’s 6pm search is on Spain’s Costa Blanca, a couple looking for somewhere their dog will settle too, working to a £160,000 budget — and it’s the identical edition Channel 4 broadcasts on its main channel at 3pm the same afternoon, so anyone catching it here is three hours behind, not watching an older repeat.

The Dog House — 4seven, 7pm

4seven’s Dog House tonight is series 6, an hour ahead of a separate, newer series 7 episode Channel 4 shows itself at 8pm — worth knowing before assuming the two channels are running the same broadcast twice. Tonight’s rehoming cases include a pair after an outgoing pup to match their friendship group and an owner still adjusting to the loss of a previous dog.

Extraordinary Extensions — 4seven, 8pm

At 8pm, Extraordinary Extensions returns to a Croydon build where the owners’ shared taste for cars and craft projects has shaped a new barn-style extension, alongside a look back at an earlier Manchester project: a Victorian villa given a glass-fronted modern wing.

Celebrity Gogglebox — 4seven, 9pm

Two listings sources confirm tonight’s 9pm edition is series 6, episode 1 — a fresh run rather than one already under way. Danny Dyer returns to the sofa, joined this time by naturalist Chris Packham and actress Jennifer Saunders among the famous faces reacting to the week’s television rather than appearing in any of it.

Outback Murder Highway — 4seven, 10pm and 11pm

4seven opens a four-part true-crime strand at 10pm, unflagged as new by the schedule data despite being its first outing on the channel. The opener revisits cold cases along one of Australia’s most isolated highways, starting with a pair of young travellers who never made it to their destination and were found buried some time later. A second part follows straight after at 11pm, covering the unsolved 1978 shooting of three motorcyclists near Mount Isa — a case that took 41 years to reach a conviction that’s still disputed by some. Two more parts are still to come. There’s no film on 4seven tonight.

What kind of shows are on 4seven

The week’s biggest talking points, repeated

Gogglebox and Celebrity Gogglebox turn up constantly, alongside whatever drama or documentary dominated the week. Miss something earlier in the week and there’s a decent chance it’s back on 4seven within a few days.

Property and renovation favourites

Property does most of the heavy lifting. A Place in the Sun, Grand Designs and George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations all repeat well, partly because the audience for them doesn’t much mind having seen the episode before. Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids sits in the same bracket, though it’s family factual rather than a competition.

Panel shows, food formats and factual filler

The rest of the day is 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Come Dine with Me, and clip-led factual like Car S.O.S and American Pickers. Cheap to re-run, all of it.

How to watch 4seven

Channel numbers

Here’s where to find 4seven across the main UK television platforms:

4seven is free on all of the above platforms, with no subscription required. As with any Freeview or Freesat channel, your on-screen guide is the definitive source if your box shows a different number.

Streaming online

4seven streams live and free at channel4.com/now/4s and via the Channel 4 app on smart TVs, iOS, Android and Amazon Fire TV. You’ll need a free Channel 4 account, which costs nothing to set up. Many of the individual shows that have aired on 4seven also turn up on demand through Channel 4’s streaming platform, though not everything broadcast stays available indefinitely.

4seven sister channels

4seven is one of four channels in the Channel 4 network, all run by Channel Four Television Corporation. Channel 4 itself carries the original commissions everyone talks about first. E4 leans younger, with US imports and reality formats. More4 handles the documentaries and factual output, a fair amount of which ends up back on 4seven in the daytime. Film4 is the film channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Verdict

4seven does one job. It’s the closest thing British television has to a weekly highlights reel, and it costs nothing. The 7pm to 10pm run is where it earns its place; the daytime is filler for anyone who likes property shows and dinner parties.

Tonight’s line-up pairs two editions of A Place in the Sun at teatime before The Dog House takes the 7pm hour, Extraordinary Extensions follows at 8pm, Celebrity Gogglebox opens a new series at 9pm and Outback Murder Highway runs the opening two parts of a four-part run at 10pm and 11pm, with two further episodes still to come. The daytime runs the same trick as ever, with a five-episode Come Dine with Me stretch and three further A Place in the Sun repeats filling the morning and afternoon. Every one of them is a second pass at something the network already broadcast earlier in the week.
