 Latest Update
 June 30th 2025

Welcome to the June 30th update! Full schedules for Disney+, Channel 4, E4, RTÉ2 and Sky Showcase are available below, right up through mid-July.

The headlines: season 36 is now available in its entirety on Disney+. An E4 outing will follow later this year; in the meantime, they are packing their schedules with more repeats than ever. And despite losing rights to new episodes, Sky are still be home to a decent number of repeats too - including seasons 33, 34 and 35, for now.

I'll most likely be back on Saturday July 5th, as I'm on holiday from the 6th to 12th. Feel free to e-mail me at wesley@simpsonsarchive.com if you need to contact me in the meantime, and remember you can also always access the latest version of the listings at my own site, too.

 Channel 4 & E4: Schedule Status & Listings
 30th June to 18th July 2025

SEASON RIGHTS: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32
LISTINGS SOURCE: Channel4.com, Digiguide

E4 are currently airing the show on weekdays at 9am, 9:30am, 4pm, 4:30pm, 6:30pm and 7:30pm. We get season 11 then 14 in the 9am hour, season 11 then 14 then 20 in the 4pm hour, season 23 then 17 in the 6:30pm slot, and repeats of the previous Sunday's themed marathon (see below) in the 7:30pm slot. On Thursdays and Fridays, there's also season 14 at 7pm, in addition to the above slots; and there are occasional late-night repeats too.

On weekends, the prior week's 6:30pm and 7:30pm episodes are repeated on Saturday evenings, and we get a selection of episodes from various seasons on Sunday evenings (usually themed - see details below). In short: there is a LOT of Simpsons on E4 right now.

As confirmed in a press release, E4 will be the home of the show's linear, broadcast premieres in the UK moving forward, inheriting Sky's mantle. From season 36, Disney+ are premiering the show in the UK and Ireland (see above), with E4 then broadcasting the season later in the year. What of seasons 33 to 35, which Sky have premiered and C4 have not yet inherited the rights to? I feel certain they will eventually show up on E4, but presumably Sky's legacy contract will determine when that will eventually be.

The show also remains on Channel 4 during weekend daytimes, with the usual hodgepodge of episodes on Saturday and Sunday mornings and lunchtimes. There's a good number of overnight slots there, too, occasionally bleeding right through to the early morning. They're currently mostly airing seasons 13 and 30, though other seasons occasionally appear too. Between C4 and E4, the Channel 4 suite have double the number of broadcasts of Sky at the moment.

Episodes starting between midnight and 5am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. Note that all episodes are simulcast on Channel 4 HD or E4 HD and can be viewed one hour later on their timeshift services, Channel 4 +1 and E4 +1.

 RTÉ2: Schedule Status & Listings
 30th June to 18th July 2025

SEASON RIGHTS: 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32
LISTINGS SOURCE: RadioTimes.com, Digiguide

RTÉ2 are currently mostly airing selections from seasons 32 in the usual 4:30pm weekday slot. However, the show is taking several weeks off from that home, to allow for sports coverage. Occasionally there's a bonus slot at 6pm or 7pm (see below), so the network isn't completely barren.

There's nothing currently on weekends. As usual, some episodes are skipped due to content concerns.

 Sky Showcase: Schedule Status & Complete Listings
 30th June to 18th July 2025


SEASON RIGHTS: 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 15, 16, 21, 22, 27, 28, 32, 33, 34, 35
LISTINGS SOURCE: Digiguide

Sky Showcase are currently broadcasting four episodes a weeknight, from 5pm to 6pm and then 7pm to 8pm. (Though they bridge the gap for one week, with episodes in the 6pm hour from the 7th to 11th; for now, it appears temporary.) Weekends remain less predictable, typically home to a handful of episodes per day.

Currently airing: season 27, in two concurrent runs - generally, that's one run in the 5pm, 7pm or 7:30pm weekday slots, and a repeat either in a 5:30pm weekday slot, or on a weekend. Following that is season 28, then season 33, and then season 16.

As discussed above, premieres of the show in the UK and Ireland will now take place on Disney+, followed later by E4. So we won't be getting season 36 on Sky anytime soon. It's hard to know what Sky's long-term strategy will be with the show now, once the jewel in Sky One's crown; but there's no shortage of repeat broadcasts in the short term, clearly.

As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped, and some episodes don't get a second run depending on Sky's weekend schedule. Episodes starting between midnight and 5am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides.
