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

Published: 9 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. Thursday 10 September 2026 keeps to the usual property-and-factual shape: A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me through the afternoon, Renovation Rescue and Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds in primetime, then 999: What Happened Next before Love Cheats closes out the night across two episodes.

What’s on 4seven today

Overnight opens with two parts of The Jury: 14 and on Trial for Murder from 12:15am, the first shifting focus to Daniel’s brother Luke and the second covering the jury’s verdict, then Crime Scene Cleaners and an episode of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids. A short A Place in the Sun repeat at 4:20am leads into a long teleshopping block that runs until 9am.

A New Life in the Sun: Where Are They Now?, Find It, Fix It, Flog It and Help! We Bought a Village hold mid-morning, then three A Place in the Sun episodes and five Come Dine with Me episodes carry the schedule through the afternoon. Two more A Place in the Sun episodes take early evening up to 7pm.

4seven tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the 4seven primetime line-up for tonight, Thursday 10 September 2026. Nothing here is a standout; it’s the channel’s usual mix of property repeats and factual filler.

A Place in the Sun — 4seven, 5:30pm and 6pm

Two A Place in the Sun repeats run either side of primetime’s start, at 5:30pm (series 2023, episode 119) and 6pm (series 2025, episode 22), before the evening’s own line-up begins at 7pm.

Renovation Rescue — 4seven, 7pm

Renovation Rescue opens primetime proper at 7pm with series 2, episode 6, a repeat of a couple’s Nottinghamshire project.

Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds — 4seven, 8pm

At 8pm, Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer revisit families who have already built the extension or renovation they wanted, checking in on how it has worked out (series 7, episode 3). This is a 4seven timeshift rather than a repeat of anything on Channel 4 tonight.

999: What Happened Next — 4seven, 9pm

999: What Happened Next takes 9pm, series 2 episode 1, this time following a train passenger who spots something troubling.

Love Cheats — 4seven, 10pm and 11pm

Love Cheats closes the night with two episodes back to back, at 10pm and 11pm (series 2, episodes 2 and 3), covering a con man’s tales of tragedy and a woman deceived by an art dealer while on holiday.

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 has no obvious standout. A Place in the Sun repeats lead into Renovation Rescue, then Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds at 8pm, a timeshift of a Channel 4 property format rather than anything exclusive to this channel. 999: What Happened Next and the Love Cheats double bill closing the night are the kind of clip-led factual filler 4seven runs most evenings. Daytime keeps to the familiar A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me rotation in short bursts.
