Gladiators is currently airing on Saturday nights on BBC One, but with some schedule changes around FA Cup football.

Quick Scoop: When is Gladiators on?

  • On Saturday 14 February 2026 (that’s tonight), Gladiators is scheduled for 8:00 pm on BBC One instead of its usual earlier slot around 5:45 pm.
  • The later time is because BBC One is showing the Aston Villa vs Newcastle United FA Cup match from 5:30 pm, with kick‑off at 5:45 pm.
  • Gladiators normally airs on BBC One on Saturdays in the early evening, typically in the 5:45 pm slot when there are no big schedule disruptions.

  • For families who find the later time a bit late for kids, new episodes are also available to stream from 4:00 pm on the same day on BBC iPlayer.

So, if you’re asking “when is Gladiators on” for tonight, tune in at 8 pm on BBC One, or catch it from 4 pm on iPlayer.
