Blaze tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Blaze primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 20 September 2026.

The Curse Of Oak Island — Blaze, 6:05pm

A near two-hour instalment opens the evening as the Lagina brothers dig into a fresh shaft on the island after flooding disrupted an earlier search, the latest turn in a hunt for buried treasure that has run across twelve series without a definitive answer.

What On Earth? — Blaze, 8pm

This series uses satellite imagery to investigate odd sightings from orbit. Tonight’s case centres on an instrument failure aboard the International Space Station, and what it reveals about the risks of long-duration missions.

Bradley Walsh: Egypt’s Cosmic Code — Blaze, 9pm

A new episode, and the third of the series rather than a launch. Walsh visits the burial sites connected to Akhenaten and his eventual successor Horemheb before viewing the mummy of Tutankhamun himself, tying the hour’s stops back to the boy king’s dynasty.

Pharaohs At War — Blaze, 10pm

Also a new instalment in an already-running series. This one reconstructs the Battle of Raphia, a 217 BC clash near modern-day Rafah between Ptolemaic Egypt and the Seleucid Empire during the Fourth Syrian War.

The UnXplained With William Shatner — Blaze, 11pm

William Shatner’s long-running series closes the night with a look at unresolved questions around how Earth itself took shape, mixing science with the show’s usual taste for open questions.

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?

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

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 opens on a feature-length Curse Of Oak Island at 6:05pm, then What On Earth? takes 8pm ahead of new episodes of Bradley Walsh: Egypt’s Cosmic Code and Pharaohs At War at 9pm and 10pm. The UnXplained With William Shatner closes the night at 11pm. The daytime rotation is the usual one: Bermuda Triangle and Killer Britain overnight, then Hardcore Pawn, Pawn Stars, Junk & Disorderly and Storage Wars carrying breakfast through the afternoon, with live rugby league taking the 3:30pm slot today.
