What’s coming up during UFO Week 2026?
If your idea of a relaxing evening involves mysterious lights, questionable footprints and people saying 'I know what I saw' with absolute certainty, we have good news… UFO Week is coming back to BLAZE!
From Monday, 9th March to Sunday, 15th March, BLAZE is running seven nights of UFO-themed programming. Expect everything from eerily detailed alien abduction stories to dedicated teams carrying out genuine, boots-on-the-ground research.
Ready to spend a week probing the weirdest corners of the universe? Here’s everything you need to know about UFO Week 2026, including the scoop on big new arrivals and returning favourites.
The basics
When: Monday, 9th March to Sunday, 15th March 2026
Time: 9pm every night
Where: BLAZE
What it is: a week-long marathon packed with UFO investigations, archives, case file deep dives and plenty of logic-defying detours (the kind you insist you’re not taking too seriously until it’s 11:47pm and you’re Googling “cryptid with wings” and wondering if that green glow outside really is just a streetlight…)
The big new arrivals
Here’s what’s making contact in UFO Week 2026:
Monster Aliens
When: Tuesday to Saturday from 10th March at 9pm
Monster Aliens asks a question that sounds like it was designed to start an argument in the pub…
What if UFOs and legendary monsters are part of the same phenomenon?
Join investigators as they unpack cases where alien sightings allegedly foreshadow encounters with terrifying cryptids. Eyewitness testimony and expert analysis, along with historical records spanning centuries and cultures come together to create pretty compelling cases. The icing on the cake? Dramatic reconstructions that bring the whole, weirdly convincing concept to life.
Curse of Skinwalker Ranch - Season 6
When: Starts Monday, 9th March at 9pm
UFO Week opens with a bigtime heavyweight: Curse of Skinwalker Ranch. Season 6 is new to BLAZE and follows a research team returning to the infamous 512-acre site in Utah’s Uinta Basin. No cattle and cowboys here… Skinwalker Ranch has a reputation for paranormal and UFO events. And that’s exactly what the show delivers!
In this season, lead investigator Travis Taylor uses advanced technology to attempt to pin down what’s actually happening on the ranch (and why the place has become such a magnet for high-strangeness).
Why it’s a headline act: Skinwalker Ranch is smack-bang in the middle of an area that’s been known as 'UFO Alley' since the 1950s. It has a serious reputation for strange activity and the show is determined to get to the bottom of it all.
Ancient Aliens - Season 17
When: Thursdays from 12th March at 10pm
Ancient Aliens is back, Earthlings! This season continues the long-running search-for-answers. It moves between modern headlines (including controversial discussion around government interest in UFO research) and historical mysteries that just won’t go away.
