Hasbro Legends, the free 24 hour broadcast channel Hasbro Entertainment launched with Get After It Media on July 13, 2026, now has a published programming grid and a nationwide station list. Both documents surfaced on July 29, 2026 and they answer the question the launch announcement did not: when is Transformers actually on.

When Transformers airs
The grid is headed “Hasbro Legends 2nd Quarter 2026 Schedule, National Feed, Eastern Time”. Transformers: Original Series occupies four slots per day:
- Monday to Friday, 7:25 PM ET
- Monday to Friday, 8:20 PM ET
- Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 PM ET
- Saturday and Sunday, 11:00 PM ET
That is the only Transformers programming on the sheet. Everything else in those dayparts belongs to the other heritage brands: G.I. Joe in four separate incarnations (A Real American Hero, the DIC run, Renegades and Sigma 6), Power Rangers, Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, Jem and the Holograms, Duel Masters and Kaijudo.
The weeknight pairing is the useful detail. Two back to back slots starting at 7:25 PM means the channel is running the G1 cartoon in prime time on a broadcast signal, which has not happened in the United States in decades. If you grew up taping it off air, the 1984 first season is the material in play, and our episode guide covers the run.
How to get the channel
Hasbro Legends is a free over-the-air signal, no subscription and no login. Get After It Media says it launched into 71 markets covering all of the top 35 U.S. television markets, reaching 70.8 million television households, and that it cleared more than 55 percent of U.S. TV households on day one. It is also carried digitally on Heartland+.
The station guide lists the local channel for each market. A sample of the largest ones:
- New York, NY: WKOB-LD 42.4
- Los Angeles, CA: KSKJ-CD 45.8
- Chicago, IL: WPVN-CD 24.2
- Dallas and Fort Worth, TX: KHPK-LD 28.1
- Philadelphia, PA: WZPA-LD 33.6
- Houston, TX: KBMN-LD 40.1
- Atlanta, GA: WUEO-LD 49.8
- Washington, DC: W13DW-D 35.1
- Boston, MA: WLEK-LD 22.8

The guide runs to two pages of markets, from New York down to Rapid City, and it is a United States list. There is no Canadian, UK or other international over-the-air carriage in the document.
Two caveats worth reading
First, the sheet is labelled 2nd Quarter 2026 even though it was published on July 29, which is in the third quarter. Treat the slot times as the current published grid rather than a locked commitment, and check your local listings before you set a recording.
Second, the schedule does not identify which episodes or which seasons run in each slot, and it does not say whether the prints are the remastered versions. Hasbro has not published an episode level guide.
For the other end of the 40th anniversary programme, the theatrical return of The Transformers: The Movie begins September 17, 2026, with tickets on sale August 7.
