Bravo TV Schedule 2026: Weekly Guide & Premiere Dates

There’s a small ritual to a Bravo evening: you know roughly where you’ll land on the dial, but the lineup keeps changing under you, and the network’s 2026 schedule leans on that familiarity — The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City settles into Wednesdays at 8 p.m. from September 16, 2026, per Bravo’s fall 2026 lineup, while Below Deck keeps its Monday anchor. What’s harder is tracking the rest of the grid, which is where a full calendar and a streaming backup plan pay off.

Bravo 2026 schedule at a glance

Eleven schedule facts, one pattern: Bravo is locking its proven franchises into fixed nights and using the surrounding hours to launch new formats.

The pattern: every premiere in this table lands inside an existing franchise night, which means Bravo is betting that loyalty transfers from one show to the next.

What shows are on the Bravo TV schedule for 2026?

Bravo’s 2026 calendar runs in two publishing acts: a summer season that keeps familiar titles warm, and a fall grid that loads nearly every weeknight with franchise staples or new bets. The fall lineup is the clearest statement of where the network is directing its audience.

What is the new Bravo lineup?

• Monday: Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 anchors 8:00–9:00 p.m. ET, with Below Deck Season 13 scheduled to take over the same hour on October 12, 2026 (Bravo’s official fall 2026 lineup).
• Monday, new: Still Flipping Out Season 1 debuts September 28, 2026, at 9:00–10:00 p.m. ET (Bravo’s official fall 2026 lineup).
• Tuesday: The Real Housewives of New York City Season 16 runs 8:00–9:00 p.m. ET (Bravo’s official fall 2026 lineup).
• Wednesday: The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 7 premieres September 16, 2026, at 8:00–9:00 p.m. ET (Bravo’s official fall 2026 lineup).
• Wednesday, late: Next Gen NYC Season 2 and its After Show take 9:00–10:00 p.m. ET (Bravo’s official fall 2026 lineup).
• Thursday: The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 and its After Show sit in the approximate 8:00–9:00 p.m. ET slot (Bravo’s official fall 2026 lineup).
• Sunday: The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 11 premieres October 11, 2026, at 8:00–9:00 p.m. ET (Bravo’s official fall 2026 lineup).
• Late evenings: Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen remains a recurring late-night entry across the week (Bravo’s official fall 2026 lineup).

Two details stand out in the fall grid. Bravo holds the 8 p.m. hour for its most-watched franchise names, and it pairs each Housewives night with a follow-on series instead of handing the hour back to reruns. The Wednesday block, where the Next Gen NYC After Show extends the night to 10 p.m., is the clearest example of that stacking strategy.

Summer 2026: the bridge to fall

• Monday: Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 runs 8:00–9:00 p.m. ET, followed by The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys Season 3 at 9:00–10:00 p.m. ET (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• Tuesday: The Real Housewives of London Season 1 moves into a regular 8:00 p.m. ET/PT slot on August 4, 2026 (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• Wednesday: The Valley Season 3 holds the night, and Next Gen NYC Season 2 with its After Show premieres June 24, 2026 (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• Thursday: The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 premieres July 9, 2026 (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).

The summer slate reads like a warm-up. Familiar shows keep their lanes while new entries get a lower-stakes runway before the fall push, and The Real Housewives of London enters the rotation as the network’s newest international Housewives branch.

The implication: Bravo is not replacing its franchises. It is bulking up the hours around them, so a viewer who arrives for one show stays for two.

What TV shows are on Bravo right now?

In the current 2026 listings, Bravo’s primetime identity is one formula: Housewives on several nights, Below Deck on Monday, and a late-night visit from Andy Cohen. The titles rotate between the summer and fall blocks, but the nightly shape does not change.

What’s new to watch on Bravo?

• Still Flipping Out Season 1 — the new Monday 9 p.m. entry starting September 28, 2026 (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• The Real Housewives of London Season 1 — the new Housewives city on Tuesdays, with a regular 8 p.m. slot from August 4, 2026 (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• Next Gen NYC Season 2 and its After Show — the Wednesday 9 p.m. block starting June 24, 2026 (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 — Thursday nights from July 9, 2026 (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).

The common thread: Bravo launches most new titles beside an established hit rather than in a dead hour. You do not have to hunt for the new show — it is positioned right after the one you already watch.

What are the best shows on Bravo right now?

• The Real Housewives franchise — the network’s most-watched property and the anchor of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday nights in the fall grid (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• Below Deck and Below Deck Mediterranean — the Monday engine through the summer and fall 2026 blocks (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen — the recurring late-evening bridge across the weekly schedule (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).

The safer reading of “best” is “most reliable.” These are the titles Bravo uses to hold the schedule steady, and the 2026 grid keeps them in the same high-visibility hours.

What is the most popular show on Bravo?

The Real Housewives franchise is the network’s most-watched property, anchoring Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday nights in the fall grid (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).

Where to find today’s schedule

• Bravo’s official site — the network publishes nightly and seasonal schedule pages at bravotv.com (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• Local listings — for channel numbers and confirmed airtimes in your market, see our TV Guide Philadelphia: Local Listings & Schedules and Atlanta TV Guide: Schedules, Channels & Local Listings.
• Peacock — the streaming home where fall 2026 episodes land the day after broadcast (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).

The practical split: Bravo’s pages are the authority for premiere timing, and local listings are the authority for channel placement. When the two disagree, trust the network for dates and the local guide for the dial position.

Why this matters: a viewer who relies only on a cable grid will miss premiere-date shifts. Pairing the network announcement with a local listing closes that gap.

How do you Stream Bravo shows?

Bravo’s streaming home is Peacock. Fall 2026 episodes land on Peacock the day after broadcast (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule). For local cable channel numbers, see our TV Guide Philadelphia: Local Listings & Schedules and Atlanta TV Guide: Schedules, Channels & Local Listings.

Will there be new Bravo episodes this week?

For most of 2026, the answer is yes in the same places every week. Bravo programs weekly premieres in fixed evening blocks rather than releasing episodes on an irregular calendar (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).

• Monday: new Below Deck episodes at 8:00–9:00 p.m. ET, with the 9 p.m. companion series following (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• Tuesday: The Real Housewives of New York City at 8:00–9:00 p.m. ET in the fall block (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• Wednesday: The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City at 8 p.m. and Next Gen NYC’s block at 9 p.m. once the fall season begins (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• Thursday: The Real Housewives of Orange County and its After Show in the 8:00–9:00 p.m. hour (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• Sunday: The Real Housewives of Potomac at 8:00–9:00 p.m. ET from October 11, 2026 (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).

Bravo operates in seasonal blocks rather than month to month. A summer week and a fall week share the same structure, but the titles rotate, and one-off events or marathons can override the grid. The reliable habit is to check the network’s own schedule page before planning a viewing night.

The pattern: expect new episodes weekly, expect the night-by-night structure to hold, and expect any change to appear first on Bravo’s own pages.

What new housewives series are coming out in 2026?

Five Housewives titles sit on Bravo’s 2026 grid, and one of them is brand new: The Real Housewives of London. The other four are returning cities, each with its own premiere window between July and October.

• The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 — Thursdays, premiering July 9, 2026 (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• The Real Housewives of London Season 1 — Tuesdays, regular 8 p.m. slot beginning August 4, 2026 (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 7 — Wednesdays, September 16, 2026 (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 11 — Sundays, October 11, 2026 (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• The Real Housewives of New York City Season 16 — Tuesdays in the fall grid (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).

Bravo has staggered the launches deliberately. No single week carries the whole franchise relaunch; each city gets its own announcement moment, which keeps the promotional spotlight on one title at a time.

The trade-off: viewers who follow one city need only one date, while franchise-wide viewers are tracking an August London debut, a September Salt Lake City return, and an October Potomac premiere across three consecutive months.

What are the latest Bravo news?

The headline news for 2026 is the schedule itself. Bravo’s recent announcements confirm three moves: a fuller weekly grid, a new Housewives city on Tuesdays, and a next-day streaming window on Peacock.

• Full fall grid published — Monday through Thursday plus Sunday now carry original series, with Watch What Happens Live listed as a recurring late-evening entry (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• The Real Housewives of London joins the roster — the new series takes a regular Tuesday 8 p.m. slot from August 4, 2026 (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• Peacock next-day streaming — Bravo states that fall 2026 episodes stream on Peacock the day after their Bravo broadcast (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• Summer moves — The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys Season 3 runs Mondays at 9 p.m., and The Valley Season 3 holds the Wednesday block (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).

The pattern underneath the news is consolidation: Bravo is making Peacock the release valve for each episode and extending franchise nights with companion programming. What has not been announced is a full midseason 2027 slate, casting details beyond the listed seasons, or any plan for the Friday and Saturday hours, which the fall announcement does not detail.

The significance: every announcement reinforces the same line — the network is doubling down on franchise nights, and Peacock is now part of how a Bravo episode reaches its audience.

Bravo 2026 premiere timeline

Seven dates, one pattern: every 2026 premiere lands in a slot already occupied by the franchise it belongs to.

• June 24, 2026 — Next Gen NYC Season 2 and its After Show premiere on Wednesday nights (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• July 9, 2026 — The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 premieres (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• August 4, 2026 — The Real Housewives of London moves to its regular Tuesday 8 p.m. ET/PT slot (Bravo’s official summer 2026 schedule).
• September 16, 2026 — The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 7 debuts (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• September 28, 2026 — Still Flipping Out Season 1 starts on Mondays at 9 p.m. (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• October 11, 2026 — The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 11 returns (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).
• October 12, 2026 — Below Deck Season 13 takes over Monday at 8 p.m. (Bravo’s official fall 2026 schedule).

The timing tells the real story. Bravo spaces each premiere far enough apart to give it its own runway, which keeps any single week from becoming a logjam of launches.

What’s confirmed and what’s unclear about Bravo’s 2026 schedule

The balance of evidence tilts one way: Bravo’s announcements are specific about which nights and hours it is defending, while the open items concern timing details and later-season additions rather than the network’s strategic direction.

What the announcements say

Two official announcements carry most of the 2026 scheduling news, and one critical pattern sits behind them.

Fall 2026 episodes will stream on Peacock the day after their Bravo broadcast.

Bravo’s 2026 grid is a hedge: the franchises that built the network keep their real estate, and every new format has to earn the audience that the established show hands it.

Read together, the quotes frame the shift: the network keeps its franchise anchors in place, uses companion shows to stretch each night, and hands the next-day audience to Peacock.

Where the 2026 schedule leaves Bravo

Bravo’s 2026 calendar is a consolidation, not a relaunch. The franchises that defined the network’s recent era keep the same nights, the new titles are placed where existing audiences will find them, and Peacock stretches every episode beyond its live airing. For viewers who still think of Bravo as a channel to flip past, the practical takeaway is that the schedule is now easier to follow on Peacock than on a cable grid. For viewers who want to stay current with premiere dates, the choice is clear: track Bravo’s official announcements and set reminders for the staggered launches, or accept that the weekly conversation will be one step ahead of you.

The practical takeaway: Bravo’s 2026 schedule is now easier to navigate on Peacock than on a cable grid, and viewers should track the network’s official announcements for premiere dates.
