Alone Season 13 is returning to The History Channel on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 9/8c, and the new season is being billed as Alone: World Championship.
This time, the survival series is moving into a global competition format, with 10 contestants heading into Canada’s Arctic Circle for the franchise’s first world champion title. History has also released the Season 13 cast list, while the full episode guide is still expected closer to the premiere.

When Does Alone Season 13 Premiere?
Alone Season 13 premieres Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 9/8c on The History Channel.
For US viewers, June 17 is when the new season officially begins on History. The network’s announcement and promo both place the premiere on that date, with Season 13 framed as an international version of the survival competition.
History also lists next-day streaming for the series, though access may depend on a viewer’s TV provider or streaming package.
This is not being treated as a routine return. By calling the season Alone: World Championship, History is putting the global competition angle at the center of Season 13 before the first episode airs.
When Is the Next Episode of Alone Season 13 Released?
The season begins with Episode 1 on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
History has announced the premiere date and time, and early listings suggest the season will continue Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT after the launch. If that weekly rollout holds, Episode 2 would be expected the following Wednesday.
History has not yet posted a full episode guide, so later dates may shift until the network updates its listings. Episode titles, synopses, and any schedule changes should come from History’s own listings.
The premiere is set: Alone Season 13 starts June 17 on History. After that, the season is expected to continue weekly on Wednesdays unless the network changes the rollout.
Who Is in the Alone Season 13 Cast?
The official Season 13 lineup includes 10 contestants.
The cast includes Aaron Barnard, Dave Booth, Nero Buys, Jacks Genega, Will Longley, Žiga Ogorelec, Clementino Pedrosa, Andrew Price, Poldi Waldmann-Moloney, and David Young.
The lineup matters more than usual because Season 13 is being sold as a global competition. History describes the contestants as elite survivalists from around the world, matching the World Championship label attached to the season.
History has also posted individual contestant bios, but the headline cast update is the 10-person lineup heading into the Arctic Circle. The cast list does not reveal anything about how the season plays out, and History has not released any winner or elimination details.
What Is Alone: World Championship About?
The World Championship label does not change the basic Alone format, but it does raise the scale of the season.
The contestants are dropped into a remote survival setting with 10 self-selected survival tools and enough camera gear to document their own experience. As always with Alone, there are no camera crews following them in the field, which keeps the pressure on the survivalists themselves.
This season’s biggest change is the international title at stake. History says Season 13 will crown the first-ever Alone world champion, with the winner taking home the $500,000 grand prize.
The basics are still familiar: isolation, hunger, weather, and the mental pressure of staying out longer than everyone else. The World Championship label gives those stakes a wider frame.
Where Is Alone Season 13 Filmed?
Alone Season 13 is set inside Canada’s Arctic Circle, along the Richardson Mountains in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
The location is one of the season’s most important reveals. History describes a setting shaped by harsh weather, deep isolation, and wildlife that can include grizzly bears, wolves, and moose.
The area may also offer fish, hare, beaver, and moose, but access to food is only one part of the challenge. The real test is whether contestants can turn those resources into survival while handling cold, hunger, and the mental strain of being completely alone.
For a World Championship season, the Arctic Circle gives the competition a setting that already feels difficult enough.
Where Can You Watch Alone Season 13 in the US?
US viewers can watch Alone Season 13 on The History Channel when it premieres Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 9/8c.
History also lists next-day streaming for the series. Once the season begins, viewers can check History’s show page, the History app, or their TV provider’s on-demand section for next-day access.
History has not announced an immediate Netflix, Hulu, or other third-party streaming rollout for Season 13. Older seasons may appear in different places over time, but the new Season 13 rollout is tied to The History Channel in the US.
What Comes Next for Alone Season 13?
The biggest missing piece now is the full episode guide.
History has not yet released every episode title or synopsis for Season 13, so the weekly rollout will become clearer once the network adds more listings closer to the premiere. For now, viewers have the main details: a June 17 launch, a global cast, and a colder, more isolated competition inside Canada’s Arctic Circle.
