Blaze Schedule: Friday 7 August 2026 (Full Listings)

Here is the complete Blaze schedule for Friday 7 August 2026, on Freeview 64.

What’s on Blaze today

Daytime Blaze is a loop, and the channel doesn’t pretend otherwise. Overnight, Mysteries From Above and Evidence Of The Unexplained hold the first two hours before a Court Cam double bill at 2am, then Storage Wars runs two episodes back to back from 3am and Hardcore Pawn fills three more from quarter to four. Dickinson’s Real Deal follows with a pair of episodes from different series from 5am, Pawn Stars takes over at quarter to seven, and a new Money For Nothing airs at half past seven.

Storage Hunters plays a short double bill from 8:25am, then Hardcore Pawn settles in for eight episodes back to back, running from 9:20am until Pawn Stars breaks it up at 1:05pm. Money For Nothing repeats at 2:05pm, Storage Hunters returns for a second pairing from 3:05pm, and Ancient Aliens and Evidence Of The Unexplained close out the daytime run before the evening schedule takes over at 6pm.

Blaze tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Blaze primetime line-up for tonight, Friday 7 August 2026.

Storage Wars — Blaze, 6pm and 6:30pm

Two from series fifteen. At 6pm Lisa tries channelling her grandmother’s instincts in Santa Ana while Brandi has a thoroughly bad day. At 6:30pm Lisa is in Montebello letting the lockers speak to her, and Ivy hands the bidding to his son.

Money For Nothing — Blaze, 7pm

A battered trunk, an old door and a set of unwanted cabinets get rebuilt into something saleable, with the usual question of whether Jay has over-reached.

Dickinson’s Real Deal — Blaze, 8pm

David Dickinson and the familiar choice for sellers: take the dealer’s offer or gamble on the auction.

History’s Most Shocking — Blaze, 9pm

The one genuinely new hour tonight. Skydivers narrowly miss two colliding planes, and a father and son drive through a wildfire, among other footage.

Weird Britain — Blaze, 10pm

Back on home ground for folklore, hauntings and the odder corners of the country.

Britain’s X-Files — Blaze, 11pm

More of the same territory to close, working through home-grown cases.

What kind of shows are on Blaze

Military and world history documentaries

This is the strand worth setting a reminder for, and it rewards anyone who has already worked through the more familiar documentaries elsewhere. Hitler’s Engineers and U-Boat Wargamers go after corners of the Second World War that don’t get the rotation the D-Day landings and the Battle of Britain do, and both are made with more care than the channel’s reputation would lead you to expect.

Ancient mysteries and the unexplained

Ancient Aliens, The UnXplained with William Shatner, Weird Britain and MonsterQuest account for more hours than anything else on Blaze. The evidence base is viral footage, satellite imagery and eyewitness account rather than anything that has been through review. Watch accordingly.

Factual entertainment and reality

Storage Wars Canada, Pawn Stars and Dickinson’s Real Deal hold the daytime. Ordinary people, real money, modest budgets, and nobody involved pretending it is anything more than that.

How to watch Blaze

Channel numbers

Blaze is free on all of the above platforms, with no subscription required. Virgin Media and Freesat channel numbers may vary slightly depending on your box and region, so your on-screen guide is the definitive source if these don’t match.

Streaming online

Blaze streams live and free at watch.blaze.tv and via the free BLAZE app on iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV and select smart TVs. No account, subscription or payment card is needed to watch the live stream.

Blaze streaming and catch-up

Blaze runs a Freeview +1 timeshift channel on 92, which is useful when you land on the 9pm show twenty minutes in and would rather start it properly. There is no +1 on Sky, Virgin or Freesat, so Freeview is the only route to a delayed watch.

The BLAZE app and website also carry a real catch-up library rather than a token one. New episodes are typically added daily and stay on demand for around 30 days.

Verdict

Blaze knows what it is and doesn’t oversell it, which on most nights is enough. The military history slot is the reason to keep the channel in mind at all: Hitler’s Engineers would hold its own two hundred channel numbers lower down. The unexplained material is lighter, fine as entertainment provided you don’t go to it for evidence. The pawn shops and storage lockers ask nothing of you whatsoever, which some evenings is the whole appeal.

Tonight leans toward the channel’s unexplained strand rather than its military history side. We Are Not Alone at 9pm is the one worth building the evening around, its psychiatrist’s account giving it more weight than the usual sightings-and-speculation format, with UFOs: Secret Missions Exposed at 10pm and The Curse Of Oak Island at 11pm keeping things running until midnight. A Storage Wars double bill, Money For Nothing and Dickinson’s Real Deal fill the hours before it.
