What Time Is Jeopardy! on Tonight? Air Times for Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud (Season 43 and 44 Are On the Air)
Quick answer: Jeopardy! is on at 7 or 7:30 p.m. in most Eastern markets (6 or 6:30 Central), weeknights, with Wheel of Fortune in the adjacent half hour. It is syndicated, so your local station picks the slot — Boston flips the order, and Chicago runs Jeopardy! at 3:30 p.m. with Wheel at 6:30. Both stream the next day on Hulu and Peacock. Season 43 of Jeopardy! and Season 44 of Wheel premiered Monday, Sept. 14, 2026 and have run first-run episodes every weeknight since, so the weeknight show you are looking for is new, not an encore.
Key takeaways
- Syndicated shows have no single national time. Check your station once, then it never changes.
- Both Jeopardy! and Wheel stream next day on Hulu and Peacock.
- Both shows returned Sept. 14 with first-run episodes five nights a week. Wheel's theme weeks began Sept. 21 (Words With Friends) and continued Sept. 28 (Canyon Spirit).
What time is Jeopardy! on?
| Zone | Usual Jeopardy! slot | Usual Wheel slot |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern | 7 or 7:30 p.m. | The other half of that hour |
| Central | 6 or 6:30 p.m. | The other half of that hour |
| Mountain | 6:30 or 7 p.m. | The other half of that hour |
| Pacific | 7 p.m. | 7:30 p.m. in most markets |
Those are the slots most stations use, not a network schedule — there is no such thing for a syndicated show. Boston flips the order, and Chicago runs Jeopardy! in the afternoon, so one look at your own listings settles it for the season.
Jeopardy! airs Monday through Friday on local stations, most often at 7 or 7:30 p.m. ET on the East Coast and 7 p.m. on the West Coast, with Wheel of Fortune in the adjacent half hour. Some markets, Chicago among them, run one of them in the afternoon. The official site has a station finder by ZIP code; local listings work too. When a station pre-empts the show for sports or news, it usually moves to a late-night slot the same day.
What time is Wheel of Fortune on?
Same rule: weeknights in syndication, usually half an hour after Jeopardy!. Boston is the common exception, where Wheel runs first. The Bonus Round puzzle is posted on the official site for the Wheel Watchers Club, and you can enter your SPIN ID with the bonus puzzle solution until 4 p.m. ET the next day.
Correction: an earlier version of this guide called Season 44's new opening round the "Toss-Up Sprint." On air it is Fortune Frenzy — the show's own clip from Sept. 16 names it — and it replaced the traditional toss-ups, not the speed-up round.

What about Family Feud?
Family Feud with Steve Harvey runs weekdays in syndication, often in a daytime or early-evening double run, so the time varies more than the other two. Celebrity Family Feud airs in primetime on ABC. Official clips run on the show's YouTube channel.

The nightly card for each show lives on one page that we update after the East Coast broadcast: Jeopardy! tonight and Wheel of Fortune tonight.
How do you find your local station?
Because both shows are syndicated, the station and time depend on your city. The official Jeopardy! site has a station finder by ZIP code, and Wheel of Fortune's site lists stations too. Search results for your city plus the show name usually surface the local station's page as well. Once you know the slot, it holds for the whole season.
Why do the results show up online before my local airing?
Episodes are taped in advance and some markets air them in the afternoon, so results circulate by early evening Eastern. That is why our results posts carry a spoiler label in the title: if your station airs at 7 or 7:30 p.m., read them after.
Is Family Feud new every day?
Family Feud runs first-run episodes on weekdays during the season with repeats mixed in, and many stations air two episodes back to back. Celebrity Family Feud on ABC follows the network's primetime calendar.
Where else can you follow the games here?
Two pages carry the nightly card and stay at the same address all season: Jeopardy! Tonight (Final Jeopardy! category and response, who won, the three scores, start times by market) and Wheel of Fortune Tonight (bonus puzzle, prize, winner). The Sept. 21–25 games are logged day by day in Jeopardy! Sept. 21–25 and Wheel Sept. 21–25; the archive of nightly scores is under results, and Family Feud covers Steve Harvey's show.
