Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 5 Release Date
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 5 is set to release on Sunday, February 15, 2026 in the US, marking a return to the show’s normal weekly schedule after episode 4’s early drop. @westerosies shared on X that Episode 5 of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, titled “In the Name of the Mother,” will premiere on Sunday, February 15 at 10 PM ET on HBO Max.
This fifth chapter continues season 1’s six‑episode run, building toward the finale planned for February 22, so episode 5 is essentially the penultimate push before everything explodes (politically, emotionally, possibly literally) in Westeros.
Fans have been a bit thrown off by episode 4 arriving early to dodge the Super Bowl, so the nine‑day gap between episodes 4 and 5 is already being felt in fandom threads where people are counting down the days and rewatching earlier instalments to catch small character beats they may have skimmed past the first time.
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 5 Release Time
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 5 will release at 10 p.m. ET / PT on HBO and HBO Max in the United States on February 15, 2026.
That translates into different late‑night or early‑morning time slots around the world, with the UK getting it at 3 a.m. GMT on February 16 on Sky Atlantic and NOW (and a more civilized 9 p.m. GMT repeat later that day), and India receiving new episodes via JioHotstar at 8:30 a.m. IST the following morning.
The time zone juggling means one familiar pattern returns: spoilers will start surfacing online as soon as the US late‑night airing is done, while some regions are only just getting their morning streams.
Viewers who like to watch “as live” often end up planning around that muting keywords, finishing work a little early, or treating episode 5 like a mini event night again after the slightly odd early‑release experiment for episode 4.
Where to Watch Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 5?
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 5 can be watched on HBO and HBO Max in the US, Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK, and JioHotstar (or JioCinema, depending on branding) in India, following the same platform pattern as earlier episodes.
In the US, the episode airs on the linear HBO channel and is available to stream on HBO Max at the same 10 p.m. ET slot; in the UK, Sky Atlantic handles simulcast‑style streaming and TV runs; in India, it shows up as part of the regular Monday‑morning drop for premium subscribers.
Across regions, the show is not being distributed as a binge‑all‑at‑once title: season 1 is firmly on a weekly release model, with episodes 1–3 already out, episode 4 arriving slightly early because of Super Bowl scheduling, and episodes 5 and 6 closing things out on February 15 and 22.
So anyone hoping to wait for everything and marathon the series will need to hold off until after the finale week, while those following in real time get the old‑school ritual of one new Westeros chapter per weekend.
About Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a Game of Thrones prequel series set many decades before the events of the original show, following Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk) and his young squire Egg, who will one day become King Aegon V Targaryen.
The story takes place during a quieter but still tense period of Targaryen rule, after dragons have disappeared from Westeros but long before the Baratheons and Lannisters are openly at each other’s throats, which gives the show space to focus on smaller, more personal storie tournaments, local feuds, and the kind of low‑to‑mid‑level politicking that still feels dangerous because everyone is only a couple of bad decisions away from a royal problem.
Season 1 adapts The Hedge Knight arc and is structured as a six‑episode run, airing weekly from January 18 through February 22, 2026.
Critics and early viewers have described it as more intimate than House of the Dragon and less sprawling than Game of Thrones, with a focus on the growing bond between Dunk and Egg, the way ordinary knights navigate honour in a very unfair world, and the subtle signs of larger storms brewing in the background.
For anyone planning around episode 5 specifically, the key takeaway is simple: February 15, regular Sunday night slot, same platforms as before just a slightly longer wait because episode 4 arrived early and left everyone hungry for the next chapter.
