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

Published: 13 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. Monday 14 September 2026 has Hollyoaks back in its usual slot after Sunday’s gap. Four Simpsons episodes run into 6:30pm, then Hollyoaks at 7pm leads into Brooklyn Nine-Nine, new episodes of Below Deck Down Under and Made in Chelsea, and Gogglebox and First Dates closing the night.

What’s on E4 today

Overnight runs a Gogglebox repeat just after midnight, then Naked Attraction and Below Deck carry the small hours before a second Gogglebox episode at 3:30am. A Hollyoaks Omnibus opens breakfast at 4:20am — a full week’s episodes shown back to back, distinct from the Monday-to-Wednesday first-look — followed by two catch-up repeats of Hollyoaks itself at 6am and 6:30am ahead of tonight’s new episode.

Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA runs a two-episode block from 8am, then two editions of America’s Funniest Home Videos take the late morning. The Simpsons opens the afternoon with four episodes back to back, before The Goldbergs and a four-episode run of Modern Family carry through to early evening, when The Simpsons returns for another four editions running up to primetime.

E4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the E4 primetime line-up for tonight, Monday 14 September 2026.

The Simpsons — E4, 6pm–6:30pm

Two episodes close out the afternoon’s marathon before Hollyoaks takes over at 7pm. Marge gets a makeover from an overeager hairdresser in the first; Krusty holes up in a circus in the second.

Hollyoaks — E4, 7pm

Jonah tightens his grip on the household with a lockdown, while police hand over evidence connected to Ste’s disappearance. The first-look showing keeps its usual Monday-to-Wednesday routine, airing a full day ahead of the main Channel 4 broadcast.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine — E4, 7:30pm

Peralta is put on security detail for Holt after a death threat comes in — an episode that runs a genuine stake through the jokes rather than around them, which is why the show has aged better than most of its US-sitcom stablemates.

Below Deck Down Under — E4, 8pm

A new series opens with a boatload of reality names, including cast members from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, boarding for the Caribbean charter season. Expect the format’s usual mix of guest demands and below-decks fallout.

Made in Chelsea — E4, 9pm

Beks throws a pool party that puts Sam Prince’s new relationship on public display, kicking off a new run of the long-running SW postcode soap.

Gogglebox — E4, 10:05pm

This week’s sofas turn their attention to Line of Duty and The Flight Attendant, among whatever else has dominated the week’s viewing.

First Dates — E4, 11:05pm

A 19-year-old heads out on the first date of his life, closing the night on the format’s usual mix of nerves and near-misses.

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?

Hollyoaks is back at 7pm tonight, its normal Monday slot. Four Simpsons episodes run into 6:30pm first, then Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a new Below Deck Down Under and a new Made in Chelsea carry the rest of primetime. Gogglebox and First Dates close the night from 10:05pm. 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

Monday has Hollyoaks back, and it makes for a fuller primetime than Sunday’s repeats-only stretch. Below Deck Down Under opening a new series at 8pm is the more interesting arrival, dropping reality names from a different franchise onto a Caribbean charter boat, though Made in Chelsea at 9pm will still pull the bigger regular audience. Brooklyn Nine-Nine at 7:30pm remains sharper than its daytime rotation slot suggests. Gogglebox and First Dates close things out from 10:05pm, exactly where E4 likes to end a weeknight.

Daytime keeps to the channel’s usual habits: a Hollyoaks Omnibus and two catch-up repeats open the morning, then Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares USA and America’s Funniest Home Videos carry into a long Simpsons-and-Modern-Family afternoon.
