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

Published: 10 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. Friday 11 September 2026 keeps to the usual property-and-factual shape: A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me through the afternoon, Fred’s Ultimate Hotels and The Dog House in primetime, then 24 Hours in A&E and 999: What Happened Next before Gogglebox closes out the night.

A New Life in the Sun: Where Are They Now?, Find It, Fix It, Flog It and Help!

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, Friday 11 September 2026.

A Place in the Sun — 4seven, 6pm

A repeat from earlier in the week, following another couple through the usual shortlist of overseas properties before the credits roll on a decision.

Fred’s Ultimate Hotels — 4seven, 7pm

Fred Sirieix trades his usual restaurant-floor role for a look at a South African safari lodge in this second outing, sizing up the service from a guest’s point of view rather than a waiter’s.

The Dog House — 4seven, 8pm

A repeat of the rehoming-centre format that pairs dogs with prospective owners. One of tonight’s hopeful adopters is after a sporty companion, and a rescue Staffordshire bull terrier is in the running.

24 Hours in A&E — 4seven, 9pm

The fly-on-the-wall documentary series returns to its trauma-unit cameras, with one of this episode’s patients having been hurt in a fall from public transport.

999: What Happened Next — 4seven, 10pm

Real emergency calls and reconstructions, built around ordinary situations that turn serious fast. This edition follows a rail journey that takes an unexpected turn after one passenger spots an alarming image belonging to someone else.

Gogglebox — 4seven, 11:05pm

The sofa critics work through the week’s television, closing out 4seven’s night the way it usually does: cheap to repeat and reliably watchable.

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 has no obvious standout. A Place in the Sun repeats lead into Fred’s Ultimate Hotels, then The Dog House at 8pm, a rerun of a format that’s already had its original run on the main channel rather than anything exclusive to 4seven. 24 Hours in A&E, 999: What Happened Next and Gogglebox closing the night are the kind of factual and clip-led filler 4seven runs most evenings. Daytime keeps to the familiar A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me rotation in short bursts.
