‘Fightland’ Episode 5 Release Date and Time

Starz’s boxing crime drama has become one of the summer’s most talked about new series, and fans are already counting down to the next chapter of Duke Kilroy’s revenge mission. With four episodes now in the rearview mirror, the countdown to episode five is officially on.

‘Fightland‘ follows Maduka “Duke” Kilroy, a former heavyweight champion who spent eight years behind bars after a brutal attack claimed his brother’s life. Since returning to London, Duke has been working his way into the orbit of the Marshall crime family, and episode five promises to raise the stakes even further.

‘Fightland’ Episode 5 Release Date and Time

Episode five is scheduled to premiere on August 28, continuing the show’s steady weekly rollout since its debut. Fightland continues with episode 5, “I Want This,” on August 28, episode 6, “There Is a War Coming,” on September 4, and episode 7, “Without Me, There Is No You,” on September 11. Some outlets have listed the episode under a different title, but the August 28 date has been confirmed across multiple release calendars.

New installments have consistently landed on the Starz platform at a set hour each week. Episodes debut on the Starz streaming service at 12 a.m. ET on their respective release dates. For those who prefer watching live, each new episode also arrives on Fridays at 8 p.m. EST on the Starz cable channel.

Viewers hoping to binge should note that the season is not dropping all at once. The eight episode drama premiered its first episode on July 31, 2026, with a new episode arriving every Friday, and each episode running approximately 50 to 60 minutes.

Where to Watch the New Episode of ‘Fightland’?

For audiences in the United States, the show remains a Starz exclusive. ‘Fightland’ airs exclusively on Starz, which costs 11.99 dollars a month after a seven day free trial, and can be bundled with other streaming services at a discounted rate. Viewers can stream episode five the moment it drops through the Starz app or any of its on demand platforms.

International fans are on a slightly different timeline. UK viewers are on a delayed schedule, with ‘Fightland’ set to premiere on Sky Atlantic on August 27, roughly a month behind its Starz debut. That means British audiences will still be catching up on earlier episodes while American viewers move into episode five.

Once the UK rollout catches up, the series will also be available through the NOW streaming service. United Kingdom and Ireland audiences can watch through Sky Atlantic and NOW starting in August 2026.

What Happens Next in Duke Kilroy’s Revenge Story

The season has been building steadily toward a direct collision between Duke and the man he blames for his brother’s death. Duke Kilroy becomes heavyweight champion of the world on the same night a vicious assault leaves his brother Calvin dead, sending Duke to a US prison for eight years, and upon his release he returns home seeking vengeance against Kingsley Marshall, the criminal kingpin and former promoter he believes set him up.

Episode four left Duke’s double life more precarious than ever, and that tension appears set to carry directly into episode five. With Kingsley Marshall still lurking in the shadows and Duke’s cover growing more precarious by the episode, viewers have plenty to weigh in on regarding whether Duke’s carefully built cover or his fragile alliance with the Marshall family cracks first.

The cast anchoring this unfolding drama includes several familiar faces from British television. Howard Charles leads as Duke Kilroy, supported by Nicholas Pinnock as Kingsley Marshall, Deborah Ayorinde as Joy Marshall, Charles Babalola as Ezekiel Marshall, Anita-Joy Uwajeh as Cebella Marshall, Tahirah Sharif as Kim Harper, Tyler Conti as Justin Hall, and Richard Pepple as Gary Kilroy.

‘Fightland’ Season 1 Full Episode Schedule

With the finish line now in sight, fans have a clear roadmap of what remains. The season finale, titled “You Won’t See Me Coming,” is set to close things out on September 25. That gives the series a total runway of eight weeks from premiere to finish.

The show’s critical reception has been solid without being universally glowing. On Rotten Tomatoes, 73 percent of 11 critics’ reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.4 out of 10, while Metacritic assigned the series a score of 58 out of 100 based on 7 critics, indicating mixed or average reviews.

Behind the camera, the series carries serious industry weight. “Fightland” is produced by G-Unit Film and Television and Expanded Media, with Otto Bathurst directing the first two episodes and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson serving as executive producer alongside creators Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan and Marlon Smith.

As Duke Kilroy edges closer to a direct confrontation with Kingsley Marshall, the pressure inside the Marshall household is only going to build. With episode five landing this Friday, who do you think Duke turns to first when his cover finally starts to slip, an ally inside the Marshall family or someone from his life before prison?
