Rick and Morty season 9 is now airing in the United States, and the new run is not dropping all at once. The animated hit premiered on May 24, 2026, at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim, with 10 episodes scheduled for weekly release. For fans, that means the summer again belongs to Rick, Morty, strange dimensions and jokes that often land somewhere between science fiction and nervous laughter. The season is also expected to stream on HBO Max and Hulu from June 15, 2026, as noted by customreceipt.com.
Where to watch Rick and Morty season 9
The fastest way to watch new episodes is Adult Swim. New episodes air every Sunday at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT. Viewers with a cable login can also use the Adult Swim site or app after broadcast. This is the main option for anyone who wants to avoid spoilers and watch the episode as soon as it airs.
Streaming viewers have another route, but it starts later. Season 9 is set to arrive on HBO Max and Hulu on June 15, 2026. Episodes will be added weekly, not as a full-season binge. That matters for US audiences who follow online discussion, because the Adult Swim crowd will see new episodes earlier.
Rick and Morty season 9 release schedule
Before checking the schedule, it is worth noting that the weekly model fits the show well. Every episode usually becomes a separate online event. Fans pause scenes, argue over references and build theories before the next Sunday arrives.
| Episode | Title | US release date |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | There’s Something About Morty | May 24, 2026 |
| 2 | Ricks Days, Seven Nights | May 31, 2026 |
| 3 | Rick Fu Hustle | June 7, 2026 |
| 4 | A Ricker Runs Through It | June 14, 2026 |
| 5 | Jer Bud | June 21, 2026 |
| 6 | Erickerhead | June 28, 2026 |
| 7 | MortGully: The Last Rickforest | July 5, 2026 |
| 8 | Rickuiem Mort a Dream | July 12, 2026 |
| 9 | Salute Your Morts | July 19, 2026 |
| 10 | Field of Dreams | July 26, 2026 |
After the final episode, the season should be easier to watch in order on streaming platforms. Until then, the safest option for same-night viewing remains Adult Swim. That delay may annoy binge-watchers, but it also keeps the show in public conversation for weeks.
What viewers should know before watching
The new season continues the adult animated format that made Rick and Morty a pop-culture brand. The focus remains on Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith and the rest of the family as they are pulled into cosmic disasters and personal breakdowns. The show still sells itself on absurd comedy, but its best episodes usually work because the jokes hide something sharper.
US viewers should remember these key points:
- New episodes premiere first on Adult Swim.
- HBO Max and Hulu begin weekly streaming on June 15, 2026.
- The season includes 10 episodes.
- The finale is expected on July 26, 2026.
- Previous seasons are available on major streaming platforms.
This is not just another animated comedy returning to TV. It is a test of whether Rick and Morty season 9 can still surprise an audience that already expects chaos.
