‘Rick and Morty’ Season 9 Full Episode Release Schedule and Where to Watch
‘Rick and Morty‘ has made its triumphant return to the multiverse, and the announcement for this season promises excitement. The creators have dubbed Season Nine as “all certified bangers,” humorously assuring fans that it’s “No AI slop! Just Grade A organic slop, made by real humans with real human traits like back hair and cysts.” This unhinged energy is exactly what fans have come to love, and the internet has quickly erupted with excitement over the show’s comeback.
‘Rick and Morty’ Season 9 officially premiered on Sunday, May 24, 2026, at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim, kicking off a thrilling 10-episode journey through wild alternate realities. Known for its unpredictability and sharp cultural commentary, this new season arrives with significant momentum and a clear schedule for fans to follow across various platforms.
The complete episode lineup for Season 9 features the show’s signature pun-filled titles, with new episodes airing weekly every Sunday on Adult Swim. Here’s the full schedule:
- Episode 1 — ‘There’s Something About Morty’ — May 25, 2026
- Episode 2 — ‘Ricks Days, Seven Nights’ — June 1, 2026
- Episode 3 — ‘Rick Fu Hustle’ — June 8, 2026
- Episode 4 — ‘A Ricker Runs Through It’ — June 15, 2026
- Episode 5 — ‘Jer Bud’ — June 22, 2026
- Episode 6 — ‘Erickerhead’ — June 29, 2026

- Episode 9 — ‘Salute Your Morts’ — July 20, 2026
- Episode 10 — ‘Field of Dreams’ — July 26, 2026
The season will conclude on July 26, 2026, with the finale episode ‘Field of Dreams’ airing on Adult Swim. Additionally, a Blu-Ray and DVD release is scheduled for November 3, 2026.
One of the notable aspects of Season 9 is the reduced gap between Adult Swim premieres and streaming availability. New episodes will be available for streaming on HBO Max and Hulu starting June 15, 2026, which is a significant improvement over the delays seen in previous seasons.
Showrunner Scott Marder addressed the previous streaming delays, stating that the team has been working to shorten the window, emphasizing, “I don’t know how it fell into that distribution model. We are constantly trying to shrink that window. I don’t see the benefit of it.”
For streaming subscribers who have had to navigate spoilers in past seasons, this news is a welcome change. International fans in Europe will also benefit, as HBO Max will carry the season weekly starting May 25, 2026, just one day after its US premiere.
‘Rick and Morty’ was originally created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, with Scott Marder serving as the series showrunner and executive producer for Season 9. The voice cast remains consistent, keeping fans engaged even as the storylines push the characters into increasingly chaotic situations.
Ian Cardoni voices Rick Sanchez, the brilliant scientist whose inventions drive most of the plot, while Harry Belden voices Morty Smith, Rick’s reluctant grandson who often finds himself dragged into his grandfather’s adventures. Supporting cast members Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, and Sarah Chalke return as the rest of the Smith family, with Rick, Morty, Summer, Beth, and Jerry at the center of the action as the show embarks on a well-planned long-term journey.
The arrival of Season 9 signifies more than just another installment. Adult Swim renewed ‘Rick and Morty’ through Season 10 in 2023 and extended the order through Season 12 in 2024, ensuring the show will continue at least until 2029. This long-term commitment adds significance to each new season as part of a broader creative vision.
Additionally, a spinoff show featuring President Curtis is set to premiere later in July 2026, expanding the ‘Rick and Morty’ universe. Fans are eagerly watching as the franchise grows beyond its core series.
Speculation is already building around the potential return of Evil Morty, with theories linking his future to an upcoming ‘Rick and Morty’ animated film. With ten episodes, a spinoff on the horizon, and a movie possibly in development, Season 9 serves as both a launching pad and a standalone chapter.
Whether you’re watching live on Adult Swim every Sunday or waiting for the HBO Max release each week, this season is shaping up to be one of the most discussed periods in the show’s history. If ‘Field of Dreams’ delivers the finale that the episode titles suggest, what do you think Season 9 of ‘Rick and Morty’ will be remembered for when all is said and done in late July?
