What If...? episode 7 is next up. Yep, there are more than six episodes for this Marvel series. We are approaching the home stretch, however, and the show is teasing some sort of mega-crossover in its final act.

As such, you're going to want to look ahead to all the release date news and air time info on Disney Plus. There's nothing worse than having social media spoil big MCU surprises for everyone. The only way around that is to watch new What If...? episodes literally the exact minute they land. We'll help you prepare for that eventuality (and preparing yourself for an early wake-up call) down below.

The What If…? episode 7 release date is September 22. It'll be available on Disney Plus at 12am Pacific/3am Eastern. That's 8am BST in the UK. 

If you head on early, the episode might even drop 10-15 minutes before the scheduled time. So be on the lookout and keep refreshing the Marvel landing page on your account.

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
