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

Published: 15 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 16 September 2026 keeps to the usual property-and-factual shape through the day, then two episodes of The Dog House at 7pm and 8pm lead into Gogglebox at 9pm, Taskmaster at 10pm, and Celebrity Gogglebox closes out the night from 11:05pm.

What’s on 4seven today

Overnight opens with a 24 Hours in A&E repeat just after midnight, then two Gogglebox episodes and an 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown repeat carry the schedule, before a Dog House repeat leads into a long teleshopping block from 5am to 9am.

A New Life in the Sun: Where Are They Now? opens the morning proper, followed by Find It, Fix It, Flog It and Help! We Bought a Village. Three editions of A Place in the Sun then run back to back through midday, before a five-episode Come Dine with Me Christmas block and a single Four in a Bed take the schedule into early evening, ahead of tonight’s line-up from 6pm.

4seven tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the 4seven primetime line-up for tonight, Wednesday 16 September 2026.

A Place in the Sun — 4seven, 6pm

Jasmine Harman helps a couple weigh up a holiday home on the Greek island of Lefkada (series 2025, episode 29).

The Dog House — 4seven, 7pm and 8pm

Two episodes back to back. First, two teenage brothers decide whether a Chihuahua cross called Maggie fits their family (series 5, episode 3). Then a Great Dane named Scooby goes on a double date with another dog while the Davies family look for the right match for him (series 9, episode 3).

Gogglebox — 4seven, 9pm

Series 28, episode 2, a repeat of the sofa reactions to that week’s television.

Taskmaster — 4seven, 10pm

The contestants leave the usual house for an away-day task this episode (series 22, episode 2).

Celebrity Gogglebox — 4seven, 11:05pm

Closes the night with series 6, episode 4.

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 is a fairly typical night for the channel rather than a standout one. A Place in the Sun at 6pm does exactly what 4seven exists for — nothing here needs to have been seen live the first time round. The two Dog House episodes either side of 7pm and 8pm are pleasant rather than essential, and Gogglebox and Taskmaster closing from 9pm are the kind of shows that hold up fine on a second pass. Celebrity Gogglebox rounds things off from 11:05pm rather than anything genuinely new.
