Doctor Who season 14 premieres on a different day in the UK (When to watch based on where you live)

Whovians, are you ready? It's almost time for a new doctor and season of Doctor Who! The insanely popular franchise premieres tonight with the first two episodes on Disney+ in the U.S. and other international territories. Though if you're in the U.K., technically the release date is on Saturday due to time zone differences. A little confused? Don't you worry! I've got your back. We're providing a breakdown of what time to tune in to Doctor Who season 14 based on where you live.

How to watch in the U.S. (and other countries) by time zone

As mentioned above, the first two episodes of Doctor Who season 14 will begin streaming tonight, May 10, 2024, starting at 7 p.m. ET on Disney+ in the U.S., as well as internationally. After that, one new installment will be released weekly. The debut of these installments joins the Christmas special on the platform, “The Church on Ruby Road,” which is already available to watch. Go catch up on it before the new episodes drop!

So that does mean those of you on the west coast can start tuning in at 4 p.m. PT, while us Midwesterners have to wait until 6 p.m. CT. The British show will also of course be available on Disney+ in the U.K. Though be mindful of the technical release day being Saturday due to the time zone differences. There's a total of 8 episodes this season, and all of them will either stream or air (in the U.K. only) at the same time every week. Check out the release times based on where you live below:
