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

Published: 7 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, Tuesday 8 September 2026, storage-unit and pawn-shop reruns give way to a Dickinson’s Real Deal double at 7pm and 8pm, then Hells Angels: Kingdom Come takes the 9pm slot, flagged “New:” for a fresh episode rather than a series launch. Two Gangland Chronicles episodes follow at 10pm and 10:30pm, and Mega Disasters 3 closes the night at 11pm.

What’s on Blaze today

The night opens with The Curse Of Civil War Gold at midnight, then two Close Encounters episodes at 1am and 1:30am, and Killer Britain at 2am — flagged “New:” for a fresh case, the Stephen Port investigation, rather than a new series. Junk & Disorderly airs at 3am, then three Hardcore Pawn episodes run to 5am, when Dickinson’s Real Deal opens a two-episode run carrying breakfast to 6:45am, ahead of two Pawn Stars, two Storage Wars Canada and two Storage Hunters episodes taking the schedule to 9:20am.

Seven Storage Wars episodes fill late morning into early afternoon, then two more Pawn Stars and two Storage Wars Canada instalments follow. Two Ancient Aliens 17 editions take 3pm and 4pm, two Close Encounters episodes run 5pm to 6pm, and a further Junk & Disorderly airing at 6pm leads into the evening below.

Blaze tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Blaze primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 8 September 2026.

Junk & Disorderly — Blaze, 6pm

Henry Cole and fellow restorers Allen Millyard and Guy Willison scour farm sales, sheds and auctions for automotive junk worth reviving and reselling, gambling that a rusted find covers the cost of whatever bike or car they’re actually chasing. Series two’s seventh instalment keeps the format’s unscripted feel: three mates arguing, in real time, over what a wreck is actually worth.

Dickinson’s Real Deal — Blaze, 7pm

David Dickinson sets up his market stall in another town, valuing whatever members of the public bring along and haggling toward a deal on the spot. It’s the format that has kept Blaze’s early evening ticking over for years, low stakes and familiar faces, with the odd genuine find buried among the bric-a-brac.

Dickinson’s Real Deal — Blaze, 8pm

A second half-hour from later in the same long-running series, a different market town and a fresh set of sellers, but the same routine of valuations and haggling. Dickinson doesn’t change the format because it doesn’t need changing.

Hells Angels: Kingdom Come — Blaze, 9pm

This American documentary traces the Hells Angels motorcycle club’s expansion from Sonny Barger’s era through the rivalries that followed, built from interviews with journalists and former insiders rather than club members. Tonight’s instalment continues an established run rather than launching one, covering fresh territory disputes and the fallout from them.

Gangland Chronicles — Blaze, 10pm

Each episode of this crime strand picks apart three defining moments from a single criminal organisation, drawing on archive footage and expert testimony to cover money rackets, turf wars and eventual takedowns. Past subjects have ranged from Al Capone to John Gotti; this is a new edition of an ongoing series rather than an opener.

Gangland Chronicles — Blaze, 10:30pm

A second half-hour switches its focus to a different organisation, keeping the same three-story structure as the edition before it. Works best watched as a pair with the 10pm episode rather than in isolation.

Mega Disasters 3 — Blaze, 11pm

A History Channel documentary strand now well past its original broadcast, reconstructing historical catastrophes through witness testimony and computer-generated recreation. This series-three edition asks what a modern city would face if a similar event struck today, closing out Blaze’s evening on the channel’s more factual side.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What channel is Blaze on Freeview?

Freeview channel 64, with Blaze +1 on channel 92.

What’s on Blaze tonight?

Dickinson’s Real Deal runs a double bill at 7pm and 8pm, then Hells Angels: Kingdom Come takes the 9pm slot, flagged “New:” for a fresh episode rather than a series launch. Two Gangland Chronicles episodes follow at 10pm and 10:30pm, and Mega Disasters 3 closes the night at 11pm.

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 headline slot is Hells Angels: Kingdom Come at 9pm, sandwiched between a Dickinson’s Real Deal double before it and two Gangland Chronicles episodes after it. Mega Disasters 3 closes at 11pm. The daytime is the usual rotation: Close Encounters and Killer Britain overnight, then Hardcore Pawn, Dickinson’s Real Deal, Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, Storage Wars Canada and Storage Hunters carrying breakfast through into the afternoon.
