What’s on Blaze today

Daytime Blaze is a loop, and the channel doesn’t pretend otherwise. Secrets In The Dark opens the day at midnight with a look at the fate of Pharaoh Ramses III, and Mission Unexplained follows at 1am. Court Cam then holds 2am and 2:30am with a back-to-back half-hour pairing, before Storage Wars runs two more episodes from 3am and Hardcore Pawn takes three from 3:45am.

Dickinson’s Real Deal has a single hour at 5am, then Pawn Stars carries breakfast with four episodes back to back from 6am to 8:25am. Hardcore Pawn returns for a much longer stretch from 9:20am, eight episodes running to 12:35pm, before Container Wars takes over the entire afternoon, ten episodes from 1:05pm to 5:30pm, ending just as the evening schedule starts at 6pm.

Blaze tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Blaze primetime line-up for tonight, Thursday 13 August 2026.

Storage Wars — Blaze, 6pm and 6:30pm

Two half-hours open the evening. First, Dusty and Lupe cycle to an auction and end up needing the truck after all; then it’s back to Montebello, where Darrell chases a small, overpriced locker while Gunter lends a hand elsewhere. Standard fare for the format: sealed units, strangers and a lot of guesswork.

Dickinson’s Real Deal — Blaze, 7pm and 8pm

David Dickinson runs a second double bill of the antiques format, with more owners weighing a dealer’s cash offer against their chances at auction. The two episodes are interchangeable beyond the faces at the table; the show hasn’t changed shape since its 5am outing earlier in the day.

Accidental Truth: UFO Revelations — Blaze, 9pm

The night’s longest programme takes the full two-hour slot. It gathers testimony billed as previously unheard from people with inside knowledge of UFO investigations, building towards the suggestion that proof of another intelligence is closer to public confirmation than official channels admit. Take the “revelations” framing as marketing rather than evidence; none of it is independently verified.

The Curse Of Oak Island — Blaze, 11pm

The Lagina brothers’ long-running dig closes the night. This episode has the team using scientific testing to draw a link between the Money Pit and the site known as Lot Five, another step in a search that has now run well over a decade without a confirmed find.

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, which some evenings is the whole appeal.

Tonight leans on the pawn-shop and storage-locker staples early, familiar ground for anyone who has already caught the daytime loop, then hands the back half to the unexplained strand.
