At nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, November 10, 2026, Season 14 of The Curse of Oak Island opens on The HISTORY Channel in the United States. For most of the 79 countries that carry the series, that hour marks the start of a wait. The same episodes will travel for months, changing language and title along the way, before they reach living rooms in Manchester, Maastricht, Munich and Milan. On last season's timetable, British viewers can expect the new season in the first half of January 2027, Dutch and Scandinavian viewers later that month, and German viewers in late February.

America Watches on Tuesday, Canada on Sunday
1 min
The season begins where the island's modern search is financed and filmed for: on American cable, Tuesdays at 9 PM Eastern. Canada, the country where the island actually lies, follows five days later, on Sunday, November 15.
Then the Atlantic closes for two months. Every November, British fans discover that the new season everyone is discussing online is not on their screens. In November 2024, viewers on the Sky community forum were asking where Season 12 had gone; the answer, from other viewers, was that it always comes in January.
In January the Season Crosses the Atlantic
1 min
They were right. Sky HISTORY opened Season 13 on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 9 PM, nine weeks after the American premiere. If the channel keeps that rhythm, Season 14 arrives in the United Kingdom on Wednesday, January 6 or January 13, 2027.
The rest of northern and eastern Europe follows within days. Last season the Danish and Norwegian channels, and the Romanian one, where the series is called Blestemul Insulei Oak, all announced Tuesday, January 13. Poland, where it runs as Klątwa Wyspy Dębów, listed the same evening at 10 PM. This season that points to Tuesday, January 12 or 19, 2027.
The Netherlands came one week later, on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at 8:30 PM, with a new episode every Tuesday after that. For Season 14 the matching dates are January 19 or 26, 2027.
Germany Makes It a Sunday Night Event
1 min
German viewers know the series as Oak Island: Fluch und Legende, curse and legend, and they wait longer than their neighbors. Season 13 began there on Sunday, February 22, 2026, in the 8:15 PM slot that German television reserves for its main evening program. The same pattern would bring Season 14 on Sunday, February 21 or 28, 2027.
Viewers without pay television wait longer still. The free-to-air channel Kabel Eins Doku began Season 13 on October 18, 2026, almost a year after America saw it, which places Season 14 there in the fall of 2027.
Italy and France Travel a Season or More Behind
1 min
In Italy the series is Oak Island e il tesoro maledetto, the cursed treasure, and it belongs to the fall. Season 11 returned on October 16, 2024, on Wednesday evenings at nine, eleven months after its American run began, and Season 13 is on Italian screens this fall. Season 14 should follow in the fall of 2027.
France keeps its own pace under its own name. On RMC Découverte, Le mystère d'Oak Island was showing episodes from Seasons 10 and 11 in the spring of 2026, so French viewers are living about two years in the island's past.
Season 14 Air Dates by Country
1 min
Dates are local. Gold dates are announced by the broadcaster; the others follow each country's start last season and will be replaced as channels publish their schedules.
Streaming Keeps to the Television Clock
1 min
Americans who miss the Tuesday broadcast can watch the next day, on the HISTORY app and History.com with a cable login, or on Hulu and Philo. Each episode can also be bought on Prime Video and Apple TV.
Outside the United States, streaming offers no shortcut. HISTORY Play, A+E's own channel inside Prime Video, launched in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany and Austria in 2019, the Netherlands in 2020, and Sweden, Poland and Belgium in 2023. It follows the local television run, not the American one: Swedish subscribers saw Season 13 arrive weekly from January 19, 2026. In Britain, NOW and Sky Go carry it alongside Sky HISTORY. Netflix does not carry the series; Australian viewers lost it there when the rights expired.
December Brings the Confirmed Dates
1 min
European channels usually publish their January line-ups in December, and that is when the expected dates above become firm ones. For France, Spain, Latin America, Turkey, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, last season's start dates could not be traced, so those rows stay open for now.
Until then the island keeps its secrets on a staggered clock. A discovery made in the Money Pit this year will be news in Ohio in November, in Yorkshire in January, in Bavaria by spring and in Lombardy the following fall, told each time in another language, to an audience hearing it for the first time.
