Frequently asked
Questions people ask
Is there a new SNL tonight?
Saturday Night Live airs new live episodes most Saturdays during its season (roughly late September through mid-May), with breaks for holidays and hiatuses. The answer at the top of this page reflects whether a new episode is scheduled for tonight.
How do you know if SNL is on?
We check the official SNL schedule data (via the public TVMaze API) every hour and cache the result per date. A manual override is available so we can correct the answer quickly if anything changes.
What time does SNL air?
New SNL episodes air live at 11:30 PM ET / 8:30 PM PT on NBC, with streaming available on Peacock.
Do you send weekly reminders?
Yes — if you sign up with your email, we'll send one short message every Saturday letting you know whether there's a new episode that night. That's it.
Why does it say something silly on non-Saturdays?
Because SNL only airs Saturdays. Come back on a Saturday for the real answer.
