Food Network tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Food Network primetime line-up for tonight, Saturday 24 October 2026.

Mary Berry – Love To Cook — Food Network, 6pm to 8pm

Four half-hour episodes back to back, episodes 1 to 4 of series 1. Mary Berry cooks aubergine caponata and a chicken and herb casserole in the opener. The 6:30pm episode features four recipes new to her, including a Nordic seeded loaf, and the 7pm one is built around cooking for a crowd. At 7:30pm she and her daughter Annabel meet a forager in Carmarthen Bay.

Jamie’s Fish Supper — Food Network, 8pm

The only full hour of the evening and the one to pick if you want something to cook. Jamie Oliver works through fish recipes, among them a pan-seared trout with beetroot and horseradish sauce. It also aired at 11am today, so it is a repeat for anyone who watched in the morning.

Diners, Drive-Ins, And Dives — Food Network, 9pm to midnight

Six half-hour episodes from 9pm, with Guy Fieri touring small restaurants across the United States. The 9pm episode is from series 5 (episode 13) and the 9:30pm one is series 5, episode 12. From 10pm the run moves to series 6, episodes 1 to 4. Tonight’s stops include burgers, tacos and pizza.

Typical shows: diners, baking contests and British cooks

American diners, eating challenges and cake drama

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is the channel’s workhorse, and it turns up several times a day. Guy Fieri drives from town to town finding small restaurants, and the format barely changes. Man v. Food Best Of and Cake Boss fill much of the overnight block in the same sociable, noisy vein.

Baking contests and Halloween specials

The Great British Bake-Off repeats are frequent, and Paul Hollywood City Bakes adds a travelling twist. Because it is late October, Halloween baking shows are often in the mix. Seasonal baking specials like this tend to appear in the run-up to the end of the month.

British cooks and home cooking

Daytime leans warmer and gentler. The Hairy Bikers, James Martin and Jamie Oliver cover regional food and weeknight meals, while Barefoot Contessa and Girl Meets Farm bring a more American, home-hosting style. If you want ideas for dinner rather than drama, this is the part of the schedule to watch. Fans of competitive cooking may also like MasterChef.

Channel numbers

Here is where to find Food Network across the main UK television platforms:

Numbers can vary slightly by region, so check your on-screen guide if these do not quite match.

Streaming online

Many of its shows stream on discovery+, available through an app on smart TVs, phones and tablets and in a browser. What is included and how it is packaged can change, particularly after the Skydance takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, so check the terms in the app before you sign up.

The +1 channel and sister channels

Food Network+1 repeats the schedule an hour behind, on Sky channel 244 and Freesat channel 154. We cannot confirm a Freeview version, so Freeview viewers should use the main channel.

Food Network is owned by Skydance (formerly Warner Bros. Discovery), the same group as Quest (Freeview 17), Really (Freeview 44), TLC (Freeview 12) and DMAX (Freeview 39). See the Freeview channel guide for the full line-up, or the Freesat TV guide if you watch that way.

Verdict

A Mary Berry evening followed by a long run of American diners. The early evening is four episodes of her cooking series, Jamie’s Fish Supper is the only hour-long slot, and primetime closes on six half-hours of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

Saturday daytime is gentler still: Barefoot Contessa in the morning, Rick Stein and James Martin at lunch, and Mary Berry’s Quick Cooking through the afternoon. It is a very repetitive schedule, so pick one strand and settle in.
