Short version: two Canadian reality shows premiere on CTV next week, The Traitors Canada on Monday, Sept. 21 at 10 p.m. ET and MasterChef Canada on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. ET/PT. Each one lands on Crave the following day.
| Day | Date | ET | PT | Channel / stream | What's on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | Sept. 21 | 10 p.m. | 7 p.m. | CTV | The Traitors Canada, Season 4 premiere |

PT times are CTV's published west-coast times. Add one hour for Atlantic time and 90 minutes for Newfoundland on eastern feeds.
What's on Monday, Sept. 21?
The Traitors Canada returns for Season 4 at 10 p.m. ET on CTV. TVmaze has it as Episode 1 of 10.
It's the first time the Canadian version has aired on a Monday. Season 3 ran on Tuesdays at 9 p.m., and our fall premiere dates page tracks the move alongside the other returning shows.
On the same night, CTV2 has the Season 30 premiere of the American show The Voice at 8 p.m. ET, per Channel Canada's fall calendar, with the episode on Crave on Sept. 22.
What time is MasterChef Canada on Tuesday, Sept. 22?
7 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT, because CTV lists the show at the same local hour on both coasts. The first of 11 episodes introduces 16 home cooks chasing $100,000.
If you watch The Traitors Canada late on Monday, Tuesday is also the day its first episode reaches Crave. That makes Tuesday the busiest Canadian reality day of the week.
Mary Berg hosts again, with Hugh Acheson and Craig Wong judging. CTV says Gordon Ramsay makes a special appearance this season but hasn't said which episode.
Is there anything new on Wednesday or Thursday?
Not from Canadian reality shows. Wednesday brings MasterChef Canada's premiere to Crave, and nothing new airs on Thursday.
US reality fills the gap. Global has Survivor's Season 51 premiere on Wednesday, Sept. 23 from 8 to 10 p.m. ET/PT, a two-hour opener before the regular 90-minute episodes begin Sept. 30.
How many Canadian reality episodes air next week?
By our count, two new Canadian reality episodes air across the seven days, one each for The Traitors Canada and MasterChef Canada. That doubles the single Amazing Race Canada finale airing the week of Sept. 14.
Survivor's premiere alone adds two hours on Wednesday, and The Voice and The Traitors: New Blood add more on Monday and Thursday.
Where is The Traitors: New Blood that week?
On CTV2, Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET, following its Sept. 17 premiere. It's the US spin-off with non-celebrity players, hosted by Alan Cumming, and it isn't produced in Canada.
Crave put the first two episodes up on Sept. 18, according to Bell Media's September streaming overview.
What about Top Chef Canada and Canada's Drag Race?
Neither is on next week's schedule. Corus promises Top Chef Canada "this fall," and Crave hasn't dated Drag Race Season 7.
If either gets a date during the week, it goes into the Update box at the top of this page.
Is anything on Sunday, Sept. 27?
No Canadian reality episodes. Global airs the MTV Video Music Awards that night at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT, per Corus, if you want something live.
Sunday is also a sensible catch-up night, since both CTV premieres will be sitting on Crave by then. Our Traitors Canada page collects everything from Season 4 as it airs.
Which US reality premieres and finales air in Canada that week?
Three worth planning around. The Voice starts Season 30 on Monday, America's Got Talent wraps its 21st season on Wednesday, and Survivor 51 opens the same night.
| Day | ET | Canadian channel | Show |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon, Sept. 21 | 8 p.m. (NBC) | Bell; Crave next day | The Voice, Season 30 premiere |
| Wed, Sept. 23 | 8-10 p.m. | Global | Survivor 51, two-hour premiere |
| Wed, Sept. 23 | 9 p.m. | Citytv | America's Got Talent, season finale |
| Fri, Sept. 25 | — | Crave | Hell's Kitchen, Season 25 premiere |
Wednesday is the clash. Survivor's two-hour opener overlaps the AGT finale's first hour on Citytv, so one of them goes to the PVR.
What time is The Traitors Canada in Atlantic Canada?
On an Eastern feed, 10 p.m. ET is 11 p.m. Atlantic and 11:30 p.m. in Newfoundland. Regional CTV stations can set their own slots, so check your local listing before Monday.
That late hour is new. Season 3 aired Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET from Oct. 21 to Dec. 16, 2025, according to Bell Media, so Atlantic viewers lose an hour of sleep with the move.
It also means the morning-after Crave episode matters more on the East Coast, where plenty of people will watch Episode 1 on Tuesday instead of staying up.
