This page, usually updated fortnightly, provides complete scheduling information for "The Simpsons" in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Schedules are available for Channel 4, S4C, Sky 1/Sky 1 HD and RTÉ airings. All times are GMT, and all scheduled slot times last 30 minutes. All episodes are subtitled for the hearing impaired. If you would like television listings for other countries please click here, where you can get schedules for many countries around the world, including Germany and Australia. You may also like to check out The Britsons (soon to be replaced by a new UK censorship site), a guide to UK censorship of the show, and my guide to BBFC classification in the UK.

Channel 4: Schedule Status 19th July to 7th August 2009 |
|
C4 are currently airing S15 in the 6pm weekdays slot. S10 follows. Season 16 is still not on the cards, though I understand that they actually do have the rights to air it (as I would expect). Continued thanks to readers Danny M and Ben Clifford for forwarding me e-mails from C4 and helping me out with this confusing situation. Meanwhile, S2 currently fills the Sunday afternoon double-bill. In addition, there are now late-evening Friday episodes, where we get another chance to see S14. Note that all episodes that air on Channel 4 can be viewed one hour later on their timeshift service, Channel 4 +1. |

Sky 1 schedules are now available up to mid-August. Sky seem to be issuing preliminary schedules closer to date of broadcast nowadays, which is good in that it means there are usually fewer changes after first publishing, but it's not as fun as getting the schedules 8+ weeks before airdate, and it still doesn't preclude changes completely. New Episodes: None are currently scheduled.
