‘Rick and Morty’ Season 9 Finale Release Date and Time

Fans counting down to the end of this run finally have a firm date to circle. ‘Rick and Morty‘ is closing out season nine with ‘Field of Dreams,’ and the timing lines up with something bigger happening on Adult Swim the same night.

The season has kept a steady weekly rhythm since it kicked off, and this finale caps a ten episode run that mirrors the structure of every season before it. There’s a lot riding on this one, since it’s not just wrapping up a batch of episodes, it’s opening the door to a new corner of the ‘Rick and Morty’ universe.

When Does ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 9 Episode 10 Premiere

‘Rick and Morty’ season 9 episode 10, titled ‘Field of Dreams,’ premieres on Sunday, July 26, 2026, at 11 p.m. ET and PT on Adult Swim.Rick and Morty Season 9 Episode 10, titled “Field of Dreams,” premieres on Sunday, July 26, 2026, at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim. That slot keeps the show in its familiar Sunday night home, which is where it’s aired all season long.

Streaming audiences get the episode shortly after, since the season has been rolling out weekly on Hulu and HBO Max in the United States. That streaming rollout has been faster than what fans experienced in earlier seasons, giving viewers less of a wait between the television broadcast and digital availability.

International viewers in Europe have had it even smoother, with HBO Max carrying new episodes just a single day after each Adult Swim premiere.

‘Field of Dreams’ is officially the ninety first episode of the series overall, and it wraps up a season that has kept the full ten episode format fans have come to expect. The episode is rated TV-14-DLV, and it marks the first time the series has used a title that shares its exact name with a well known piece of pop culture. That title is a nod to the 1989 film of the same name, though the episode’s own story stands apart from it.

What to Expect from the “Field of Dreams” Finale

Details on the actual plot of ‘Field of Dreams’ have stayed close to the vest, with writer and director credits still marked as TBA on several tracking sites. The episode’s logline does reference Tom Sawyer, the titular character from the classic novel, hinting at some kind of nostalgic or literary detour for this outing.

Given how season nine has leaned into unexpected genre mashups, that reference alone has fans speculating about what kind of world Rick and Morty might stumble into this time.

The season’s overall synopsis has stayed consistent with the show’s long running premise, following a sociopathic scientist who arrives at his daughter’s doorstep twenty years after disappearing and moves in with her family, setting up a laboratory in the garage and taking his grandson on wild adventures across the universe. That setup has carried the show for nine seasons now, and there’s no indication the finale strays from the core family dynamic that’s kept it grounded.

This episode follows directly after ‘Salute Your Morts,’ the penultimate installment of the season. That earlier episode picked up right after ‘Rickuiem Mort a Dream,’ continuing to push the season further into its closing chapters. With ‘Field of Dreams’ now the only thing standing between fans and the season’s end, expectations are running high for a finale that actually delivers some closure.

‘Rick and Morty’ Season 9 Cast and Crew Details

The voice cast for this final stretch remains anchored by the team that’s carried the show since its recasting. Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden continue voicing Rick and Morty, while Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke round out the Smith family as Jerry, Summer, and Beth. Dan Harmon also lends his voice to a handful of recurring characters across the season.

Behind the scenes, Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland remain credited as the original creators of the series, while Scott Marder continues on as showrunner and executive producer for the current season. This season also marks the first without any involvement from Bardel Entertainment, the studio that had handled animation duties since the very beginning of the show.

That behind the camera shift hasn’t dulled the show’s tone, and that continuity in the writing and producing team has helped season nine maintain the tone longtime fans associate with the series, even as it approaches triple digits in total episode count.

Physical media collectors also have something circled on the calendar. A Blu-Ray and DVD release for the full season has already been confirmed for November 3, 2026.

What Comes Right After the Season 9 Finale

The biggest twist tied to this finale isn’t even in the episode itself. Rick and Morty’s first major spin-off, President Curtis, premieres immediately after the season nine finale, debuting at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on the same night on Adult Swim. The spin-off shifts focus away from Rick Sanchez and the Smith family, instead following President Andre Curtis and his eccentric team as they handle strange threats, with Keith David returning to voice the fan favorite character.

That timing turns what would normally be a quiet season ending into a full night of programming for Adult Swim, effectively using the ‘Rick and Morty’ audience to launch its next big series without missing a beat. Fans who’ve followed Curtis as a side character for years now get to see him carry his own show, and the back to back premiere setup all but guarantees a packed night of viewership.

With ‘Field of Dreams’ wrapping up season nine and setting the stage for whatever comes in season ten, it’s shaping up to be one of the busier finale nights the franchise has had in years. What twist do you think Rick and Morty season nine has saved for its very last moments before President Curtis takes over the timeslot?
