Doctor Who Season 1/Series 14 Premiere Date

Doctor Who Season 1/Series 14 will make its simultaneous global premiere on May 10, 2024. As such, some time zones will technically have access to the first two entries in the Fifteenth Doctor’s freshman season a day early (but not really; it’s all suitably wibbly wobbly, timey wimey). Here’s how the wider international release schedule shakes out:

  • US – 4 pm PT / 7 pm ET, Friday, May 10, 2024
  • UK – 12 am BST, Saturday, May 11, 2024
  • Europe – 1 am CET, Saturday, May 11, 2024
  • India – 4:30 am IST, Saturday, May 11, 2024
  • China – 7 am CST, Saturday, May 11, 2024
  • Japan – 8 am JST, Saturday, May 11, 2024
  • Australia – 9 am AEST, Saturday, May 11, 2024
  • New Zealand – 11 am NZST, Saturday, May 11, 2024

It’s worth noting that the above only refers to the BBC iPlayer (UK and Ireland) and Disney+ (everywhere else) streaming premiere. Doctor Who Season 1/Series 14 will also make its broadcast debut on BBC One on the evening of May 11. The BBC hasn’t yet shared the exact time of the broadcast, although historically, Doctor Who has aired on BBC One at 6:30 pm GMT.

According to a recent BBC press release, they’ll follow the same schedule outlined above, only with single installments, not double-headers. In practice, this breaks down as follows:
