Where to Watch 9-1-1 in the UK: Disney+, the Season 10 Wait and What It Costs
| Season | US premiere | UK premiere | UK home | Wait |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 20 September 2021, Fox | 7 February 2022 | Sky Witness | 140 days |
| 6 | 19 September 2022, Fox | 9 November 2022 | Disney+ | 51 days |
| 7 | 14 March 2024, ABC | 1 May 2024 | Disney+ | 48 days |
| 8 | 26 September 2024, ABC | 17 October 2024 | Disney+ | 21 days |
| 9 | 9 October 2025, ABC | 22 October 2025 | Disney+ | 13 days |
| 10 | 15 October 2026, ABC | 22 October 2026 | Disney+ | 7 days |
Quick answer: 9-1-1 is on Disney+ in the UK, and it isn't on any free channel. No season has opened here on the same day as in America. The wait has shrunk every season, from 140 days in the Sky Witness years to 7 for season 10, and the table above is our count of it.
- Service: Disney+, by subscription.
- Season 10 in the US: Thursday 15 October 2026 on ABC.
- Season 10 in the UK: Thursday 22 October 2026 on Disney+, per Geektown and JustWatch UK.
Where can I watch 9-1-1 in the UK?
On Disney+. Geektown's log of UK premiere dates gives Disney+ for every season opener since season 6 in November 2022, and PinkNews's season 9 guide named Disney+ as the only UK home when that run began in October 2025.
The earlier seasons sit there too. What's On Disney Plus, reporting the season 10 trailer on 2 October 2026, said previous seasons are available on Disney+ outside the United States.
That makes it a different sort of programme from the ones we usually cover. The Chase costs nothing on ITVX after it airs, and Pointless is free on iPlayer. 9-1-1 needs a paid subscription.
What channel is 9-1-1 on in the UK?
None at the moment, as far as we can find. Its old channel was Sky Witness, which premiered seasons 1 to 5 between August 2018 and February 2022 in 9pm or 10pm slots, according to Geektown.
The American side changed as well. Fox broadcast the first six seasons, and ABC has had the series since season 7 in March 2024. In the US it now goes out on Thursdays at 8pm Eastern time, with Hulu carrying each episode the next day. Hulu isn't sold as a separate service in Britain.
How far behind the US is the UK?
Seven days at the start of season 10, which is the shortest gap in the show's history here. We took the US and UK premiere dates from Geektown and counted the days between them.
The trend runs one way: 140 days, then 51, 48, 21, 13 and 7. But the season 9 figure hides a wobble. Hidden Remote's account is that Disney+ UK began that season with Wednesday releases, then moved to Fridays after the midwinter break and let the delay stretch to three or four weeks.
Geektown's dates back that up. The second half of season 9 opened on ABC on 8 January 2026 and reached Disney+ UK on 13 February, a gap of 36 days. British viewers finished the season out of step with America.
The trailer above is ABC's for the spin-off, 9-1-1: Nashville. TVmaze lists its second season for the same Thursday as the parent show, 15 October 2026.
When does 9-1-1 season 10 start in the UK?
It already has. ABC opened season 10 on Thursday 15 October 2026, and Disney+ UK added it on Thursday 22 October, a week later. Geektown called the arrival a surprise, because Hidden Remote, TechRadar and Tom's Guide had all pointed to November.
Our two sums from earlier in the month, a 13-day gap for 28 October or a 21-day gap for 5 November, both turned out too cautious. Disney+ UK hasn't said how it will release the later episodes, so whether season 10 follows the US week by week or moves to its own day is not yet confirmed.
TVmaze lists the US episodes as "That Sinking Feeling" on 15 October, "Fire in the Hole" on 22 October, "Streets of Fire" on 29 October and "Imposter Syndrome" on 5 November, with six episodes listed so far. No episode count for the season has been published.
Does Disney+ UK release 9-1-1 weekly?
For season 9, yes: one episode a week. PinkNews had season 9 arriving on Wednesday 22 October 2025 with a new episode each Wednesday after that.
Disney+ doesn't treat all of ABC's shows alike. Grey's Anatomy reached the UK one day after its US broadcast last season, while Abbott Elementary turns up in batches long after ABC has finished. 9-1-1 sits between the two.
Weekly also means you inherit America's breaks. Season 9 ran to 18 episodes on ABC between 9 October 2025 and 7 May 2026, which is a lot more than 18 weeks.
How much does it cost to watch 9-1-1 in the UK?
The cheapest route is Disney+ Standard with Ads. Cordbusters reported on 24 September 2026 that the plan goes from £5.99 to £6.99 a month in October 2026. Disney's small print doesn't give the day for the monthly price; the dated change is the six-month saver offer for new and returning sign-ups, which rises from 14 October 2026.
That's one day before the American premiere, so anyone joining for season 10 should expect the higher price. Disney hadn't announced new prices for its two ad-free plans when Cordbusters wrote, and no date had been set for existing subscribers.
Because episodes come one a week, a single month covers four or five of them. Waiting for the finale and paying for one month then is the low-cost way to see a full season.
Who makes 9-1-1, and who is in it?
Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear created it, and Minear is the showrunner. Angela Bassett plays Athena Grant and is one of the executive producers.
Hidden Remote's season 10 preview lists Athena, Buck, Eddie, Maddie, Hen and Chimney as the characters viewers are waiting to see again. Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman appear in ABC's publicity photographs for the series.
If you came here from the quiz pages, the regular service is still running: the weekday quiz schedule, Countdown's afternoon slot and the BBC Two Monday quiz guide. For home-grown drama, our sister site has which soaps are on which nights.
