Series 13 ended in April, and within days the same question started appearing everywhere: when is the next one? If you are searching for Bangers and Cash series 14, here is the honest position. UKTV has already paid for far more episodes than have been broadcast, the family are still filming, and the show has never gone more than a year without returning. What nobody has yet done is put a date on it, so let us look at what is actually known.

Has Series 14 Been Confirmed?

Let us be straight about this, because plenty of sites will not be. No specific air date for series 14 has been publicly announced. What has been confirmed is the commission behind it. In August 2023 UKTV ordered 46 new episodes of Bangers & Cash across four new series, plus twelve episodes of the spin-off across two more. That was described at the time as the highest number of episodes the network had ever ordered for a single programme at once. Those episodes have been rolling out ever since.

Where Series 13 Left Off

Series 13 arrived on 5 February 2026 and ran through to the spring, with episode ten going out on 9 April. Its defining thread was the arrival of the third generation. Charlie Mathewson was sent out on his first solo collection, driving onto the North York Moors to fetch an Austin van, and later travelled to Northampton with Paul Mathewson to extract a Daimler Sovereign and a Sunbeam Alpine. If series 14 continues that story, the handover to the younger Mathewsons will be the thing to watch.

When Does a New Series Usually Start?

Looking at the pattern rather than guessing helps. The programme first aired on 18 April 2019 and has returned steadily ever since, usually with runs landing in the first half of the year and the spin-off filling gaps around them. Series 13 began in early February 2026. On that rhythm, a new run in the first months of 2027 would be entirely consistent, though nothing has been confirmed. Broadcasters announce these things when they are ready, and U&Yesterday tends to give a few weeks’ notice rather than months.

Why More Episodes Are Almost Certain

The commercial logic here is not subtle. Series 7 averaged 744,000 viewers an episode. The spin-off’s second series averaged 647,000, with a finale at 760,000. Those are strong numbers for a digital channel, which is precisely why UKTV committed to such a large order in one go. Shows get quietly dropped when audiences fall away, and there is no sign of that happening. The Bangers and Cash cast remain one of the network’s most reliable draws.

What to Expect From a New Run

The format is unlikely to change, because there is no reason to change it. Each episode follows the team out collecting vehicles from across the country, then brings everything back to the saleroom for auction day. What has evolved is the cast balance. Derek is easing back, openly saying he no longer goes hunting for cars because the best ones turn up by accident, while Charlie and Jack Mathewson take on more each series. Expect that shift to continue.

Will Derek Still Be in It?

This is the worry viewers raise most often, and there is no indication of him going anywhere. Derek has more than fifty years in the motor trade behind him and remains the heart of the programme. He has simply changed how he works, which is a very different thing from retiring. The family have built the succession into the show deliberately rather than avoiding the subject, which is a mature way to handle it. Our profile of Derek Mathewson’s net worth and career covers his journey from 1970 onwards.

The Spin-Off Fills the Gap

If you are waiting, there is more to watch than you might think. Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics has run for four six-episode series since July 2022 and follows cars bought at Mathewsons auctions being restored and re-sold. Twelve further episodes were part of the same 2023 commission. It features the same family plus workshop mechanic Dave Dryden, so it scratches exactly the same itch while the main series is off air.

Where to Watch and Catch Up

New episodes air on U&Yesterday, usually in the Thursday evening slot, and are made available on UKTV Play, which is free. Older series appear in the schedules regularly, so catching up is rarely difficult. If you are starting from scratch, there is no need to begin at series one. The programme is entirely episodic, and the family relationships explain themselves quickly, though our Bangers and Cash cast guide will save you some confusion about who is whose son.

Could the Show Ever End?

Eventually, everything does. But the conditions that usually kill a show are all absent here. The audience is strong, the commission is large and still being worked through, the business is real and continuing, and a younger generation is already on screen. The one genuine risk to a programme like this is losing its central figure, and the Mathewsons have addressed that by bringing the grandsons forward rather than pretending Derek will do this forever.

Where It Is Made

Filming is based around Thornton-le-Dale in North Yorkshire, with the showroom at Roxby Garage on Pickering Road, and produced by York-based Air TV. Collection trips take the team all over Britain, which is why so much of each episode happens in somebody’s garage or barn rather than the saleroom. Our guide to where Bangers and Cash is filmed explains the location properly, including whether you can visit the showroom yourself.

How to Get the Announcement First

The most reliable places are the ones closest to the source: the Mathewsons Classic Cars website, which keeps its own episode guide, and U&Yesterday’s own listings. The family also post on social media, and they usually mention filming long before a broadcaster confirms dates. Everything else is aggregation, and aggregation is where invented dates come from. We will update this page as soon as an official announcement exists rather than before.

Why Fans Get Confused About Series Numbers

Part of the reason people struggle to track this show is that two series run in parallel. The main programme has its own numbering, now into the teens, while Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics has its own separate count, sitting at four completed series. Repeats then shuffle through the schedule out of order. So if you see a listing that does not match what you expected, it is usually a repeat or the spin-off rather than a new run. Checking the episode guide on the Mathewsons Classic Cars website is the quickest way to be sure.

What Makes a Good Episode

The best episodes tend to share a shape. Someone has kept a car for decades, often inherited, and cannot quite bring themselves to sell it until now. The team collect it, uncover its history, and then a stranger in the saleroom pays real money for it. That arc works because it is about people rather than metal. The worst thing a show like this could do is chase rarity and value, and to its credit it rarely does. A tired Ford with a good story beats a perfect car with none.

Final Thoughts

So the honest answer on Bangers and Cash series 14 is that it has not been dated, but the episodes are paid for, the audience is there and the family are still working. Given the pattern, early in the year is the sensible expectation. In the meantime the spin-off is genuinely worth your time.
