Hi all. Where can I watch Home & Away? It is not showing on Channel 5. Has it been moved online or added to another streaming service?

Yes it's on 5star at 6pm/6.30pm. Weirdly it seems to randomly repeat an episode on Mondays and Fridays since returning from the Christmas break.

Yes I noticed this.
Channel 5 have also got rid of the afternoon film which I liked to watch for years now and filled the channel up with cheap chat shows from 09:15 until 15:00 daily.
Home & Away has been moved to one of the other Channel 5 stations (5* maybe?) and is being shown later in the day.
Sorry not to be more specific, I just caught it being advertised the other day.)

Yup it’s on 5star. I was watching it on that anyway as it was one episode ahead of ch5.

How weird, I noticed the scheduling change too

purpleme12 · 16/01/2026 23:12

It's showing on my 5 app though

EBearhug · 16/01/2026 23:14

It's on 5*, but I watch it through My5 (as I always have in recent years.)

Oh thanks @fashionqueen0123
I am annoyed about the afternoon Matinée being removed, they were pretty crappy American tele films but I enjoyed them.
Channel 5 had shoved on Xmas films from November so I was looking forward to having the regular movie slot back.
A bad move Channel 5. I don't think I will bother with you at all anymore!

I also hate them for getting rid of neighbours. But then are happy to fill the evenings with dramas made from ex neighbours actors, directors and producers!

Thanks all.
Gosh, I need to catch up a lot now. Thank goodness they're still showing it on TV.

@DBSFstupid I have been watching some of the afternoon films when I'm bored. I enjoyed them too. I still have some recorded on my Freeview box.

@thecatdidit @fashionqueen0123 I will check out 5star.
@purpleme12 I may have to start using apps to watch shows.
@EBearhug Thanks. Gonna try My5.

@fashionqueen0123 I loved Neighbours, but now it's gone. 🙁

I'm really annoyed they've taken away the lunchtime slot as I'm much busier at 6pm. But thanks to this thread I've found Home and Away again.
