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

Published: 3 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, Friday 4 September 2026, Junk & Disorderly opens the evening at 6pm with Henry Cole and the Junketeers hunting down automobilia to restore and sell on. The evening then runs in three consecutive pairs back to back: Dickinson’s Real Deal holds 7pm and 8pm, My Strange Arrest brings two new cases at 9pm and 9:30pm, and What On Earth? closes out the night with a double bill at 10pm and 11pm.

What’s on Blaze today

Friday’s schedule opens overnight with The Curse Of Oak Island at 12:05am, then two editions of Close Encounters at 1am and 1:30am. Killer Britain with Dermot Murnaghan opens a new run at 2am with the Mark Martin case, the first of five. 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. Eight consecutive editions of Storage Wars Texas then run from 9:20am to 12:35pm — the feed’s own episode numbers for this stretch don’t run in order, so it’s best treated as eight back-to-back editions rather than a numbered set. Pawn Stars and Storage Wars Canada each return for a further pair through the early afternoon, two editions of Ancient Aliens take the mid-afternoon slot, 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, Friday 4 September 2026. Junk & Disorderly opens the evening at 6pm (series 2, episode 5), and everything after it runs in three consecutive pairs back to back.

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’s shape is three consecutive pairs back to back: Junk & Disorderly gets first billing at 6pm with Henry Cole after a piece of automobilia, then Dickinson’s Real Deal doubles up at 7pm and 8pm, My Strange Arrest brings two new cases at 9pm and 9:30pm, and What On Earth? closes out the night with a double bill at 10pm and 11pm. The daytime works through eight consecutive editions of Storage Wars Texas, plus repeated Pawn Stars, Storage Wars Canada, Storage Hunters and Ancient Aliens editions, before Close Encounters hands over to the evening at 5pm.
