Two editions of What On Earth? close the night at 10pm and 11pm.

What’s on Blaze today

The Curse Of Oak Island opens the night at midnight (series 11, episode 23), then Close Encounters runs a pair at 1am and 1:30am. Killer Britain at 2am, presented by Dermot Murnaghan, revisits the Mark Jewitt case, before Junk & Disorderly at 3am and three Hardcore Pawn episodes carry the schedule to 5am, where Dickinson’s Real Deal takes over for breakfast — one episode at 5am, another at 6am — ahead of two Pawn Stars, two Storage Wars Canada and two Storage Hunters episodes running to 9:20am.

Eight Container Wars episodes run back to back from 9:20am to 12:35pm, then two Pawn Stars and two Storage Wars Canada episodes carry the early afternoon. Ancient Aliens 17 airs at 3:05pm, followed by a further Ancient Aliens edition at 4:05pm, then two Close Encounters episodes fill 5pm and 5:30pm, 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, Friday 11 September 2026.

Junk & Disorderly — Blaze, 6pm

Henry, Allen and Guy finally get their hands on the Buick Roadmaster they’ve been chasing all series, then head off to a car show in Newbury to show it off (series 2, episode 10).

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

Two editions back to back tonight (series 9, episode 50 at 7pm; series 18, episode 29 at 8pm), the second filmed in Liverpool. The format stays the same each time: owners bring in antiques and collectables and weigh up a guaranteed cash offer against taking their chances at auction.

My Strange Arrest — Blaze, 9pm & 9:30pm

Two new instalments rather than the usual single outing (series 2, episodes 5 and 6), which points more towards a fresh run starting tonight than just another week of an ongoing series — worth checking a listings guide nearer the time if you want that confirmed. The 9pm case follows a man causing chaos, unclothed, at a Miami gym and out on the street; the 9:30pm one follows a Florida tourist whose car ends up driven straight into the sea.

What On Earth? — Blaze, 10pm & 11pm

Two more editions close the night (series 7, episodes 7 and 8). The 10pm instalment looks at aerial photography showing an odd dark mark spreading across a coastal town; the 11pm one follows a hunt for a buried labyrinth linked to the ancient Egyptian figure Imhotep.

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 two editions at 7pm and 8pm, then two new episodes of My Strange Arrest follow at 9pm and 9:30pm, with two editions of What On Earth? closing the night at 10pm and 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 runs Dickinson’s Real Deal at 7pm and 8pm, then turns to two new episodes of My Strange Arrest at 9pm and 9:30pm, before What On Earth? closes with two more editions at 10pm and 11pm. The daytime is the usual rotation: The Curse Of Oak Island and Close Encounters overnight, then Hardcore Pawn, Dickinson’s Real Deal, Pawn Stars, Storage Wars Canada, Storage Hunters and Container Wars carrying breakfast through into the afternoon.
