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

Published: 8 September 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, though not always at the same distance behind. Wednesday 9 September 2026 keeps to the usual property-and-factual shape: A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me through the afternoon, Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds and The Dog House in primetime, then Celebrity Gogglebox before 24 Hours in Police Custody closes out the night across two parts.

4seven tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the 4seven primetime line-up for tonight, Wednesday 9 September 2026.

A Place in the Sun — 4seven, 6pm

Laura Hamilton helps a couple hunting for a holiday home on Mallorca, ahead of the property-and-factual run that fills the rest of the evening (series 2025, episode 32).

Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds — 4seven, 7pm

Kirstie and Phil revisit families who took on major renovations, this time in Milton Keynes and Hamilton (series 7, episode 2). It’s a 4seven timeshift, not necessarily the same instalment Channel 4 airs the same night.

The Dog House — 4seven, 8pm

A football-mad prospective owner named Josh looks for a Staffy companion, while another visitor is matched with a cavapoo called Honey (series 9, episode 2).

Celebrity Gogglebox — 4seven, 9pm

Familiar faces give their verdict on the week’s television, from Love Island to Bake Off, in the 9pm slot (series 6, episode 3).

24 Hours in Police Custody — 4seven, 10pm and 11:15pm

A two-part documentary, “The Ambush”, closes the night: officers investigate a critically injured teenager found at the roadside, then follow leads into a suspected gang dispute in the second part.

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.

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 keeps closer to the channel’s usual shape than most: a property double bill leads into The Dog House, then Celebrity Gogglebox at 9pm, as close to a flagship as 4seven has. The two-part 24 Hours in Police Custody closing the night has more weight than the rest of the evening put together. Daytime runs the familiar A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me rotation in short bursts. There’s nothing new on the channel tonight. That isn’t really the point of it.
