Court TV Schedule: Today’s Trials, UK Channel & Live Stream

Live trial coverage doesn’t follow a fixed TV guide, so finding the exact Court TV schedule today often means tracking a moving target. Between real-time court proceedings, repeated analysis segments, and an expanding UK presence on Freeview, this guide breaks down today’s lineup, regional viewing differences, and recent staffing changes that may affect what you see on screen.

Freeview UK launch date: February 15 · Recent departures: Matt Johnson, Julie Grant · Live stream availability: Peacock and CourtTV.com · Schedule source: TV Insider and CourtTV.com

These eight facts capture the core: network identity, UK availability, streaming options, and the recent staffing shake-up.

Here is the essential data about Court TV at a glance.

What is the Court TV schedule today?

What trial is on Court TV today?

• Live trials air during court hours; check TV Insider two-week schedule guide or CourtTV.com for the specific case.
• Recent examples include a Wisconsin trial and the Texas Tanner Lynn case (Court TV YouTube metadata).

Court TV does not publish a fixed daily schedule because live proceedings dictate the lineup. The network’s tagline, “your front row seat to justice” (Court TV live-stream page), reflects its commitment to covering whatever breaks in real time.

Court TV schedule tonight

• Evening hours often include recorded analysis shows like Victim To Verdict (UK listings show “Victim To Verdict: Johnny Depp V Amber Heard” at 06:00 GMT).
• For US viewers, primetime repeats of the day’s key trials are typical.

If you’re in the UK, note that all times on the UK listings are in GMT/BST (Court TV UK schedule note), so a 6:00 AM slot on Wednesday 13/05 might correspond to a late-night US session.

Upcoming trials on Court TV

• TV Insider provides a two-week lookahead (TV Insider schedule).
• High-profile cases scheduled for 2026 are not yet listed, but the network traditionally covers major criminal trials from arraignment through sentencing.

The pattern: Court TV’s programming is reactive — it follows the courthouse calendar, not the other way around. Viewers who want to plan ahead should monitor the network’s social media or YouTube channel for case announcements.

What channel is Court TV on in the UK?

Can you watch Court TV in the UK?

Yes. Court TV launched on Freeview on February 15, and it’s also available on Sky and Freesat (Court TV UK page). The UK feed is a distinct localized version with its own schedule and timezone adjustments.

• Freeview: channel number not publicly confirmed by Court TV, but check your local listings.
• Sky: channel (varies by region).
• Freesat: channel (check Freesat EPG).

Court TV on Freeview, Sky, and Freesat

The UK listings page specifically states “all times are listed in GMT/BST” (Court TV UK Channel Listings). This means the same content may air at different times compared to the US feed.

Where can I watch the Court TV series?

Watch Court TV on Peacock

• Court TV’s live stream is available on Peacock (NBCUniversal’s streaming service) and on the network’s own site (CourtTV.com/watch-live).
• Peacock subscribers can watch live trial coverage 24/7.

Court TV live stream on website

• Free live stream at CourtTV.com — no cable subscription required for the web stream.
• The same live feed is available on the Court TV YouTube channel 24/7 live coverage.

Court TV is not on Netflix, except for specific documentary projects like “State vs A Nobody” (Netflix only carries that one-off title).

Did Kelly Krapf leave Court TV?

Kelly Krapf’s status at Court TV

• As of now, there is no official confirmation that Kelly Krapf has left Court TV (Court TV official site does not list her departure).
• Rumors circulated on social media, but no credible source has verified her exit.

This is an area of uncertainty. The network has not issued a statement regarding Krapf, and her profile on the Court TV website still appears active.

Court TV layoffs and departures

• Matt Johnson and Julie Grant were confirmed as laid off in 2025 (Court TV official site).
• The company described the layoffs as a restructuring to align programming goals.

The implication: Viewers may notice a shift in anchor lineup during daytime trial blocks. The departures of Johnson and Grant remove two familiar faces from a channel that relies on recognizable legal analysts.

Who else is leaving Court TV?

Matt Johnson and Julie Grant depart

• Both were long-time anchors who covered major trials on the network (Court TV official site).
• Their exit leaves gaps in the weekday schedule that the network has not yet filled publicly.

Court TV finalizes layoffs

• Court TV confirmed the layoffs in a statement, saying the moves were part of a strategic reorganization.
• No further departures have been announced beyond Johnson and Grant.

Why this matters: The anchor changes could affect how viewers experience live trial coverage. Seasoned legal commentators build trust; their absence may push some viewers to alternative sources like Law&Crime Network or official court feeds.

Timeline

• February 15 — Court TV launches on Freeview in the UK (Court TV UK Channel Listings)
• 2025 — Court TV finalizes layoffs; Matt Johnson and Julie Grant depart (Court TV official site)

Quotes from the network

“Your front row seat to justice.”

— Court TV live-stream page (Court TV live-stream page)

“Court TV describes itself as providing live gavel-to-gavel coverage, in-depth legal reporting, and expert analysis of major trials.”

— Court TV official site (Court TV official site)

“UK TV Guide describes Court TV as ‘offering live trials and recorded legal analysis shows.'”

Summary

Court TV remains a primary destination for live trial coverage, but recent layoffs and the UK launch have reshaped its accessibility. For UK viewers, the decision is clear: choose Freeview/Sky for a curated schedule or the web stream/Peacock for real-time access. As the network moves into 2026, the anchor gap and regional timezone differences will test whether Court TV can maintain its reputation as the definitive gavel-to-gavel courtroom channel.
