What Time Is The Traitors On Tonight? Your Complete Viewing Guide for 15 January 2026
The Traitors Continues to Dominate Television Screens
As one of television’s most captivating reality series, The Traitors has viewers on both sides of the Atlantic asking the same question: what time is the show on tonight? On 15 January 2026, fans have multiple opportunities to catch their favourite game of deception and strategy, with both the UK and US versions airing new episodes.
UK Viewers: BBC One Broadcast Tonight
The Traitors will broadcast on Thursday (January 15) at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Episode 7 of The Traitors’ series 4 continues the dramatic storyline, following Wednesday’s cliffhanger that left viewers stunned. The show will be followed by its companion programme The Traitors: Uncloaked, due to start at 9pm and run for around 30 minutes.
The UK series, which first broadcast on BBC One on 1 January 2026 with Claudia Winkleman returning to present, has already captivated audiences with its ‘Secret Traitor’ twist. The current duo dominating the Traitors turret are Stephen and Rachel, who may soon get a chance to recruit following recent losses.
US Version: Peacock Releases New Episodes
American fans also have reason to celebrate tonight. The Traitors Season 4, Episode 4 lands on Peacock at 6 pm Pacific Time (PT)/9 pm Eastern Time (ET) on January 15, 2026. Episodes 4 and 5 will debut on January 15, giving viewers a double dose of drama.
The Traitors has become one of the most popular shows around, bringing a star-studded cast to Scotland to compete in a game of mystery and murder, with Season 4 premiering Jan. 8 on Peacock. The US version features celebrity contestants including Lisa Rinna and a returning Dorinda Medley, as well as figure skaters Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, and Donna Kelce.
What Makes The Traitors Must-Watch Television
Both versions of The Traitors follow the same thrilling format. Set in the Scottish Highlands, The Traitors brings together a group divided into ‘Traitors’ and ‘Faithfuls’. The Faithfuls must identify and vote out the Traitors whilst completing challenges, all whilst avoiding being ‘murdered’ by the secret saboteurs.
The prize pot reaches up to $250,000 in the US version, whilst the UK edition offers up to £100,000. New episodes of The Traitors Season 4 premiere on Peacock each Thursday through February 26, 2026, whilst the BBC version continues with its thrice-weekly schedule through late January.
Why Tonight’s Episodes Matter
Tonight’s episodes are particularly significant for both versions. The UK episode follows a dramatic cliffhanger where Faithful Matthew proposed a controversial deal to the Traitors, whilst the US Episode 4 features a fiery mission resulting in several players up for murder, with one player having damning evidence and another revealing suspicions to the wrong person.
For viewers who miss the live broadcasts, episodes remain available on BBC iPlayer and Peacock for catch-up viewing. The global phenomenon continues to prove why it has become one of the most discussed shows on television and social media.
