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

Published: 12 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. Sunday 13 September 2026 keeps to the usual property-and-factual shape through the day, then a run of A Place in the Sun repeats carries into The Dog House at 8pm and two episodes of Gogglebox at 9pm and 10pm, before the film I, Robot closes out the night from 11:10pm.

What’s on 4seven today

Overnight opens with a Gogglebox repeat just after midnight, then Celebrity Gogglebox, the film Stuber and an episode of 24 Hours in A&E, before a long teleshopping block runs from 4:50am until 9am.

A run of ten Four in a Bed episodes then fills the whole morning into early afternoon, before Location, Location, Location at 2pm and Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds at 3pm. A Place in the Sun repeats take over from 4pm, and the run continues right through to 7pm.

4seven tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the 4seven primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 13 September 2026.

A Place in the Sun — 4seven, 6pm–8pm

Two back-to-back repeats close out early evening: house-hunters chasing a holiday home in Ibiza, then a couple doing the same on Majorca. Standard fare for the strand, and reliably watchable precisely because nothing about the format has changed in years.

The Dog House — 4seven, 8pm

A rescue centre matches homeless dogs with hopeful owners. Tonight’s edition follows a football-mad applicant hoping a Staffie called Ruby might share his enthusiasm for the game, which is a smaller ask than it sounds once the show gets going.

Gogglebox — 4seven, 9pm–11pm

Two editions back to back: the more recent covering the households’ reaction to that week’s television, the earlier one taking on Trigger Point, Celebrity MasterChef and Love Is Blind: UK. Watching them in the wrong order is part of the fun of a catch-up channel.

I, Robot — 4seven, 11:10pm

Will Smith investigates a robot suspected of murder in a near-future Chicago where the machines are supposed to be incapable of harming anyone. Loosely inspired by Asimov rather than a direct adaptation, and better as an action film than as anything more philosophical.

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 is a fairly typical night for the channel rather than a standout one. The Dog House at 8pm and the Gogglebox double bill either side of 10pm are exactly the kind of repeat that suits 4seven’s whole reason for existing — nothing here needs to be seen live the first time round. I, Robot closing the night from 11:10pm is the one genuine change of pace, an action film rather than the usual clip-led factual filler. A Place in the Sun repeats fill the earlier evening much as they fill most of the daytime, in short, interchangeable bursts.
