From Sunday September 6, 2026, Hope Channel Australia begins preparing and delivering its own programming schedule.

Until now, most of what you've seen on Hope Channel Australia has come to us through the Hope Channel International feed. From September the schedule is built here, which means the line-up can be shaped around Australian viewers — with a new range of programs chosen for you.

The new schedule begins Sunday September 6, 2026.

What’s changing, and what isn’t

What’s changing

  • A new weekly line-up, with different programs

  • The website, and the Hope Channel app

  • Nothing to retune, install, pay for or sign up to

Find what’s on

The online guide updates every week and is the same schedule you’ll see in the app and beside the livestream. Times are shown in Sydney time.

Questions

Do I need to do anything?

No. It’s the same channel on the same number, and the website and app work exactly as they do now. There’s nothing to retune or reinstall.

Why is the schedule changing?

Hope Channel Australia has reached the point where it can prepare and deliver its own schedule, rather than carrying the international feed. It’s a step forward for the ministry here, and it means the programs going to air can be chosen with Australian viewers in mind.

Will my favourite programs still be on?

Many familiar programs continue, though the times will often be different. The best way to find yours is the TV guide above.

What time zone is the guide in?

The online guide is shown in Sydney time. If your state keeps a different time, you'll need to adjust from there — and if you'd like a printed guide for your own time zone, get in touch and we’ll help.

What happens when daylight saving starts?

Daylight saving begins on Sunday 4 October. From then, separate guides are published for the states that move their clocks, and the online guide follows Sydney time as it always has.

I can’t find a program I used to watch

Some programs from the international feed aren’t part of the new Australian schedule. If there's something you'd like to see return, tell us — the programming team genuinely does read this.

Can I still get a printed guide in the post?

Yes. We post the monthly guide to viewers who don’t use a computer. Call or write to us and we’ll add you to the list.

The channel isn’t coming through

Get in touch and we’ll help. It helps if you can tell us how you watch — VAST, the website or the app — and roughly where you are.
