Published: 1 September 2026

Blaze is a free-to-air factual channel that has run on Freeview since September 2016. Its schedule runs from military history documentaries to ancient-mystery programming, and factual entertainment formats set in pawn shops and storage units fill much of the rest of the day. Tonight, Wednesday 2 September 2026, Junk & Disorderly opens the evening at 6pm with Henry Cole and the Junketeers at a farm sale, chasing down a tractor. Dickinson’s Real Deal then holds 7pm and 8pm with a back-to-back pair of valuation compilations, before What On Earth? takes over at 9pm and 10pm with a vanished Midwestern town and a set of Amazonian satellite anomalies. Secrets In The Dark closes the night at 11pm with a Chinese burial site.

What’s on Blaze today

Wednesday’s schedule opens overnight with two editions of My Strange Arrest at midnight and 12:30am, then two of Close Encounters at 1am and 1:30am. Killer Britain with Dermot Murnaghan covers the Isabella Gossling case at 2am, Junk & Disorderly gets an early outing at 3am, and three consecutive editions of Hardcore Pawn then carry the small hours through to 5am, when Dickinson’s Real Deal takes over.

Breakfast pairs two editions of Pawn Stars with two of Storage Wars Canada and two of Storage Hunters. Four more editions of Dickinson’s Real Deal then run from 9:20am to 12:35pm, drawn from the opposite end of the series to the breakfast and evening showings — eight Dickinson’s Real Deal slots in total across the day. Pawn Stars returns at 1:05pm, the Storage Wars Canada and Ancient Aliens pairings repeat across the afternoon, and two editions of Close Encounters take 5pm and 5:30pm before the evening’s Junk & Disorderly begins at 6pm.

Blaze tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Blaze primetime line-up for tonight, Wednesday 2 September 2026.

Junk & Disorderly — Blaze, 6pm

Junk & Disorderly (series 2, episode 3) opens the evening with Henry Cole and the Junketeers out at a farm sale, where a tractor catches their eye.

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

Dickinson’s Real Deal holds both 7pm and 8pm, series 9 episodes 76 and 77 back to back — the same double-bill shape as the two editions earlier in the day, just from the other end of the series.

What On Earth? — Blaze, 9pm and 10pm

What On Earth? takes 9pm and 10pm, series 7 episodes 5 and 6. Both are flagged as new, though mid-series rather than a launch. The 9pm edition investigates a Midwestern town that vanished without explanation; the 10pm follow-up looks at a run of satellite anomalies over the Amazon.

Secrets In The Dark — Blaze, 11pm

Secrets In The Dark (series 1, episode 8) closes the night with a Chinese burial site.

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.

Is Blaze free to watch?

Yes, entirely free to air on Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat, with no subscription fee. It carries advertising like any other commercial channel.

Who owns Blaze?

Blaze launched under A+E Networks UK in September 2016 and is now run by Hearst Networks UK, a joint venture between Hearst and Sky Group, following A+E Networks EMEA’s 2024 rebrand to Hearst Networks EMEA.

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’s shape is auction house first, then unexplained: Junk & Disorderly gets first billing at 6pm with Henry Cole after a tractor, then Dickinson’s Real Deal doubles up at 7pm and 8pm before What On Earth? takes the 9pm-to-11pm stretch with a vanished town and a run of Amazonian satellite anomalies. Secrets In The Dark closes out the night with a Chinese burial site. The daytime works through eight Dickinson’s Real Deal slots drawn from opposite ends of the series, plus repeated Hardcore Pawn, Pawn Stars, Storage Wars Canada, Storage Hunters and Ancient Aliens editions, before Close Encounters hands over to the evening at 5pm.
