E4 TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On E4 Tonight

Published: 5 September 2026

E4 is Channel 4’s younger-skewing entertainment channel: American sitcom reruns through the day, reality formats after dark, and the Hollyoaks first-look Monday to Wednesday at 7pm. Sunday 6 September 2026 also falls outside that window — there’s no Hollyoaks anywhere on E4 today. Instead the evening runs Lego Masters Australia into a comedy-and-factual stretch: Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA, Celebrity Gogglebox, Sarah Millican’s stand-up special and the film Gemini Man to close.

Here is the complete E4 schedule for Sunday 6 September 2026, on Freeview 13.

What’s on E4 today

Sunday’s overnight run is First Dates and three Below Deck episodes, then Don’t Tell the Bride and two Modern Family episodes carry the schedule into a Hollyoaks Omnibus repeat at 6am. There is no first-look Hollyoaks today: that strand, and its weekday repeats, run Monday to Wednesday only, and it does not return until Monday 7 September.

Junior Bake Off and Sonic the Hedgehog hold breakfast, then five Simpsons episodes and two Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA repeats fill the late morning and early afternoon. Three more Simpsons episodes follow from 3pm, before the film Home Alone 3 takes the schedule from 4:30pm through to 6:30pm.

E4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the E4 primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 6 September 2026.

Lego Masters Australia — E4, 6:30pm

The build show is flagged “new” here, but that’s E4’s routine weekly-episode marker rather than a series launch — this imported Australian format has been running for several years and today’s edition is simply the next instalment, not a premiere.

Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA — E4, 8pm

Gordon Ramsay drops into another failing American restaurant. One line is enough; the format hasn’t changed in years.

Celebrity Gogglebox — E4, 9pm

Famous faces reacting to the week’s television, cut together in E4’s usual style.

Sarah Millican: Control Enthusiast — E4, 10pm

A stand-up special from the Geordie comedian, recorded on tour.

Gemini Man — E4, 11:05pm

Will Smith plays an ageing assassin hunted by a cloned younger version of himself. Ang Lee directed it as a high-frame-rate showcase that mostly went unseen in UK cinemas at that spec, so this is most viewers’ first proper look at it.

Popular shows on E4

Reality

Married at First Sight Australia is E4’s most-watched acquisition and the one that reorders the whole schedule when a series is on. Three or four episodes a week, strangers paired off by “experts”, married at first meeting, then sat at a dinner party until somebody says the unforgivable thing. The UK version plays much quieter. Its couples absorb the pressure rather than detonate at the table, which is more realistic and considerably less watchable.

Celebs Go Dating has been on E4 since 2016 and has never changed shape: two relationship coaches, currently Paul C. Brunson and Anna Williamson, a handful of celebrity clients, and dates with members of the public.

Soap

Hollyoaks has been on Channel 4 since 1995 and in E4’s first-look slot long enough that most viewers under 35 have never known it any other way. It takes on the heavy issue storylines soaps go in for, mental health and addiction and the rest, while keeping the pace quick and the cast young.

US comedy

The Big Bang Theory, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Modern Family anchor daytime, and all three sit on Channel 4’s streaming service on demand. The Simpsons is the exception to everything. E4 holds so much of it that a single day can jump across two decades of the show without anyone at the channel appearing to mind.

How to watch E4

Channel numbers

Where to find E4 by platform:

E4 is free-to-air everywhere. A Freeview aerial carries it, and so does every Sky package as standard.

Streaming

E4 streams live and on demand for free through Channel 4’s app and channel4.com, covering smart TVs, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and most streaming sticks. Registration is free and asks for no payment details. Adverts play regardless. The full E4 library is there as well, including complete runs of Married at First Sight Australia and MAFS UK, and Hollyoaks as catch-up after transmission.

E4 +1, E4 Extra and the Channel 4 family

E4 +1 on Freeview 30 is a straight one-hour timeshift, so 7pm here is 8pm there.

E4 Extra is the sister channel for repeats and extra runs of E4’s biggest shows. It launched in 2022 in the slot 4Music vacated, and sits on Freeview 31 and Sky 139.

Both sit in the wider Channel 4 family alongside the main channel, More4 for factual and Film4 for cinema. All of them are commercially funded. Channel 4 is publicly owned but takes no licence fee money and no government subsidy, a distinction worth remembering the next time somebody complains about the adverts.

Frequently asked questions

What’s on E4 tonight?

There is no Hollyoaks tonight either — the first-look strand runs Monday to Wednesday only and does not return until Monday 7 September. Instead the evening runs Lego Masters Australia at 6:30pm into Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA, Celebrity Gogglebox and Sarah Millican: Control Enthusiast, before the film Gemini Man closes the night from 11:05pm. Times are in the schedule table above.

Does E4 have adverts?

Yes. It is a commercial channel, so ad breaks run on linear TV and on the streaming free tier alike. No licence fee, no subscription. Record it on a PVR and you can skip them as usual.

When did E4 launch?

E4 launched on 18 January 2001 as a companion to Channel 4, aimed at younger viewers from day one. It began as a subscription service, later went free-to-air, and reached Freeview in May 2005.

Verdict

Sunday is a fairly ordinary night for E4: a routine Lego Masters Australia episode, a Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA repeat, the week’s Gogglebox instalment, a stand-up special and a film that arrived on E4 rather than a bigger channel. Nothing built around a single event, just the channel doing what it does most Sundays.

Daytime runs five Simpsons episodes and two Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA repeats either side of lunch, then Home Alone 3 takes the schedule through the early evening before primetime starts.
