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

Published: 20 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. Monday 21 September 2026 carries three editions of A Place in the Sun through the afternoon, then Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds and George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces: First Home open primetime at 7pm and 8pm. Celebrity Gogglebox follows at 9pm, and Apocalypse: Could You Survive? closes out the night from 10pm as a repeat of the episode that first aired earlier in the week.

What’s on 4seven today

Overnight opens with a repeat of Apocalypse: Could You Survive? just after midnight, then an episode of Taskmaster and an Inside McVitie’s factory documentary carry the small hours. An early repeat of Celebrity Pottery Throw Down runs from 3:35am, before a long teleshopping block takes the schedule through to 9am.

A New Life in the Sun: Where Are They Now?, Find It, Fix It, Flog It and Help! We Bought a Village fill the morning, then three editions of A Place in the Sun run back to back from midday. Four editions of Come Dine with Me carry the mid-afternoon, and a fifth, older repeat leads into Four in a Bed at 5:30pm ahead of tonight’s line-up.

4seven tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the 4seven primetime line-up for tonight, Monday 21 September 2026.

A Place in the Sun — 4seven, 6pm

Another repeat from the property-search archive, this one a Tuscany hunt for a holiday home (series 2025, episode 27).

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

This spin-off revisits past renovation projects to see how they’ve held up, tonight returning to a large semi in Whitley Bay and an awkward new-build in Stevenage (series 7, episode 4).

George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces: First Home — 4seven, 8pm

Clarke meets people turning unconventional spaces into a first home, one answer among several to the housing crisis (series 1, episode 1).

Celebrity Gogglebox — 4seven, 9pm

Famous faces watch the same week’s television as everyone else and say what they think of it, tonight taking in Love Island and The Nevermets among others (series 6, episode 5).

Apocalypse: Could You Survive? — 4seven, 10pm

A repeat of the episode that aired earlier on the network, following the Eastsiders as they try to get their stolen chickens back.

Gogglebox — 4seven, 11:05pm

The regular line-up closes the night with its usual read of the week’s television (series 28, episode 3).

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

What’s on 4seven tonight?

Verdict

4seven does one job. It’s the closest thing British television has to a weekly highlights reel, and it costs nothing. Monday’s evening is a steady property-and-panel run rather than a standout one. Kirstie and Phil’s Love It or List It: Brilliant Builds at 7pm and George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces: First Home at 8pm both do what 4seven does best, giving a second life to shows built for a rewatch. Celebrity Gogglebox at 9pm is the same formula with famous faces instead of the regular households, and Apocalypse: Could You Survive? closing from 10pm is a repeat rather than fresh material, though the disaster-prepping format holds up on a second viewing.

Daytime leans hard on property: three editions of A Place in the Sun before lunch and four of Come Dine with Me through the afternoon, 4seven doing its usual job of filling the schedule with whatever tested well earlier in the week.
