9-1-1 season 9 episode 1 might just be the wildest series debut we’ve had all year and. thankfully, we don’t have long to wait until it drops.
Season 8 followed another series of jaw-dropping emergencies, resulting in the deadly virus outbreak that ultimately took Bobby’s (Peter Krause) life. I’m still not over his heart-wrenching funeral, but life has hugely moved on for widow Athena (Angela Bassett).
If you’ve not already seen the new trailer for the Hulu and Disney+ series (you can watch it below), Athena and Hen (Aisha Hinds) are set to make their way to space. Why? I cannot say.
Who knows, maybe the move will make 9-1-1 season 9 one of the best Disney+ TV shows of the year so far, but personally, I’m tuning in for a total car crash. If you’re joining me, here’s when you can stream episode 1.
What is the launch time for 9-1-1 season 9 episode 1?

Great news, cadets: 9-1-1 season 9 episode 1 drops on Thursday, October 9, which is a week earlier than originally planned. US fans will be able to catch it at 8/7c on ABC, with it hitting our favorite streaming services shortly after (more on that below).
As for the rest of the world, here’s when you should tune in:
- Canada – Thursday, October 9 at 5pm PT / 8pm ET
- UK – Friday, October 10 at 1am BST
- India – Friday, October 10 at 5:30am IST
- Singapore – Friday, October 10 at 8am SGT
- Australia – Friday, October 10 at 10am AEST

Episodes will be followed by brand-new spinoff 9-1-1: Nashville (where everyone’s feet will be on the ground, presumably), and Grey’s Anatomy.
Where can I watch new episodes of 9-1-1?
Thankfully, 9-1-1 is already across some of the best streaming services around, meaning you can easily catch up with seasons 1 through 8 while waiting for new episodes of this season.
Annoyingly, though, it’s not just in one place. Depending on where you live, you’re going to need to head to a different platform:
- US – Hulu
- Canada – Global TV
- UK – Disney+
- India – JioHotstar
- Singapore – Disney+
- Australia – Disney+
- New Zealand – Disney+
9-1-1 season 9 full episode release schedule

As Hardened 9-1-1 fans will know, there will be a mid-season break, with the latter half of season 9 looking like it’ll arrive sometime in 2026.
However, it’s too soon to confirm when this break might be, as episode 7 feels a little early if we look at the rollout of past seasons.
This is also assuming there are no unexpected weekly delays between season 9 episodes – as 9-1-1 is primarily a network show, is has been historically subject to temporary delays.
