More4 TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On More4 Tonight

Updated: 20 September 2026

More4 is Channel 4’s factual and lifestyle channel: property shows, food formats and the fly-on-the-wall documentaries that would crowd out the main channel’s schedule. It launched on 10 October 2005 and has been free to air since 6 May 2008, when it dropped the subscription requirement it had briefly carried on satellite. Sunday 20 September 2026 runs a long Four in a Bed stretch wall to wall through the start of primetime, a new series of 999: On the Front Line launches at 9pm, and 24 Hours in A&E closes the evening from 11pm. Full listings are below, with channel numbers further down the page.

What’s on More4 today

Sunday’s More4 schedule leans heavily on a handful of returning strands repeated many times over, and daytime is almost entirely given over to the same property and food formats as usual.

Overnight, 999: On the Front Line leads into two 24 Hours in A&E episodes, then Supermarkets Unwrapped: The Snacks Aisle and the High Street shopping strand carry things through from 3:20am.

Seven A Place in the Sun episodes run from 8:55am through into the afternoon, five Come Dine with Me episodes fill the mid-afternoon, and five Four in a Bed episodes carry the schedule wall to wall from 6:20pm into tonight’s primetime. See below.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 20 September 2026.

Four in a Bed — More4, 6:20pm–8:30pm

Five episodes run back to back with nothing else in between, taking the B&B contestants through a full week’s worth of stays and pay-what-you-think verdicts before the evening turns to factual programming proper.

999: On the Front Line — More4, 9pm

A new series opens at 9pm, following ambulance crews and control-room staff through the calls that make up a working shift.

Police Rescue — More4, 10pm

The schedule moves from ambulance crews to specialist police units at 10pm, covering the rescues and emergency call-outs that don’t fit a standard patrol shift.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 11pm

The channel’s best-known documentary strand closes the night, filmed at Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham and opening a new series with this episode.

What kind of shows are on More4

Fly-on-the-wall documentary

This is the strand More4 is known for. 24 Hours in A&E and 999: On the Front Line both use the same method: fixed cameras, real emergencies, no reconstructions. Neither has changed that formula in over a decade of running.

Property and food formats

A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me anchor the daytime and early-evening schedule. One is about the fantasy of starting again somewhere warmer; the other is about strangers cooking for each other and being far too honest about the results. Four in a Bed does the same job for the B&B trade. Between them they account for most of what More4 broadcasts before 6pm.

Imported drama and classic comedy

More4 also fills gaps with imported crime drama, a fair amount of Nordic noir, and repeats from Channel 4’s own sitcom back-catalogue. It’s schedule filler between the factual strands rather than anything the channel commissions for itself.

More4 leans harder on returning formats than almost any channel on Freeview. Over 48 days we counted Four in a Bed 437 times here — an average of nine showings a day — from a run of 39 distinct programmes. See our study of repeats on UK television for the full channel-by-channel numbers.

Here’s where to find More4 across the main UK television platforms:

Streaming online

More4 streams live and free at channel4.com/now/m4 and via the Channel 4 app on smart TVs, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and PlayStation. You’ll need a free Channel 4 account, which costs nothing to set up. Recent episodes of most More4 shows are also available to watch on demand through Channel 4’s streaming platform shortly after broadcast.

More4 +1 and sister channels

More4 +1 runs the schedule an hour behind on Virgin Media, channel 347, but was withdrawn from Freeview back in June 2022. If you miss the start of something on Freeview, the Channel 4 on-demand service is the more reliable way to catch up.

More4 sits alongside Channel 4’s other free channels: the main Channel 4 service, E4 (entertainment and US imports), Film4 (movies) and 4seven (catch-up repeats).

Frequently asked questions

What’s on More4 tonight?

Five Four in a Bed episodes run wall to wall through the start of primetime from 6:20pm, then a new series of 999: On the Front Line opens at 9pm, Police Rescue follows at 10pm, and 24 Hours in A&E closes the night from 11pm with a new series of its own. Full times are in the schedule table above.

What time do the main documentaries start on More4?

More4’s documentary strands usually sit between 9pm and 11pm, after the property shows have had the earlier part of the evening. A new series launch or a one-off special can push that earlier, so check the on-screen guide if the evening looks different from usual.

Is More4 free to watch?

Yes, completely free on Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat, with advertising breaks but no subscription fee.

Can I watch More4 online for free?

Yes. It streams live at channel4.com/now/m4 and through the Channel 4 app; you’ll need a free Channel 4 account. Most recent episodes also appear on demand shortly after broadcast.

Verdict

More4 doesn’t try to be flashy, and that’s the point. It’s where Channel 4 parks programming that works without gimmicks: a B&B owner docking marks over a soggy fry-up, or paramedics talking a family through the worst hour of their week. Today’s daytime leans hard on the property-and-food formula, with A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me running twelve episodes between them before the evening’s Four in a Bed run even starts.

Primetime turns properly factual once that run wraps up at 8:30pm: a new series of 999: On the Front Line opens at 9pm, Police Rescue follows at 10pm, and 24 Hours in A&E closes the night from 11pm, itself opening a new series. Two format launches in one evening is more than usual for a channel that mostly just repeats what already works.
