What to know what time the Falcon and Winter Soldier finale is landing on Disney Plus? You can watch episode 9 of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes-fronted spin-off, on Friday, April 23. Expect a big finale, too, as the Flag Smashers plan a fresh assault on the Global Repatriation Council – and Sam hopefully takes up the Captain America shield on a permanent basis.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 6 should bring disgraced government-endorsed Captain America John Walker back into the story, too – episode 5's mid-credits sequence teased Walker forging his own shield, meaning we could see him take on the US Agent persona from the Marvel comics in this next episode. 

Read on for a full rundown of The Falcon and Winter Soldier's release schedule, and the exact time new episodes land on Disney Plus. 

When is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 6 released on Disney Plus?

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 6 will be released on Friday, April 23, at midnight PDT/3AM EDT/8AM GMT. This is the season finale – but most Disney Plus originals release at this time on Fridays, including past episodes of this show.

The latest MCU series follows Sam and Bucky as the duo try to acclimatize to life after the events of Avengers: Endgame. The duo were two of the heroes Blipped out of existence by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, but they were brought back to life after the remaining Avengers reassembled the Infinity Stones and reversed Thanos' original act. 

Now, they're facing threats both new and old, including the Flag Smashers, Bucky's old enemy from Captain America: Civil War – Helmut Zemo – and a new Captain America. Hey, nobody said it would be easy for them despite their return.

Read on for a full release schedule of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episodes.
