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

Published: 8 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 9 September 2026, storage-unit and pawn-shop reruns give way to a Dickinson’s Real Deal double at 7pm and 8pm, then What On Earth? takes over for two hours at 9pm and 10pm — new episodes rather than a series launch. Strange Evidence closes the night at 11pm.

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 What On Earth? follows with two new episodes at 9pm and 10pm. Strange Evidence 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 evening is a straightforward double act: Dickinson’s Real Deal fills 7pm and 8pm, then What On Earth? takes two hours from 9pm, before Strange Evidence closes at 11pm. The daytime is the usual rotation: My Strange Arrest and Close Encounters overnight, then Hardcore Pawn, Dickinson’s Real Deal, Pawn Stars, Storage Wars Canada and Storage Hunters carrying breakfast through into the afternoon.
