HGTV isn’t wasting any time shaking up its summer lineup. After a busy week of finales and premieres, the network is back with even more fresh programming, including the return of a fan-favorite competition and two all-new series making their debut.
If you’ve been looking for something new to add to your weekly watchlist, this might be one of the strongest weeks of the summer so far. There are still plenty of familiar faces across the schedule, but HGTV is clearly making room for some new ideas, too. Let’s be real, that’s one of the reasons the network stays so easy to come back to week after week.
Here’s everything airing on HGTV’s primetime schedule from July 20 through July 26.

The biggest headline this week is the return of “Ugliest House in America,” which kicks off its eighth season on Monday. The competition series has become one of HGTV’s biggest summer staples, and it’s back with another search for homes in serious need of a makeover.
Tuesday brings another new episode of “Love It or List It,” but it’s also the debut of “Extreme Buyers Club,” a brand-new series that introduces viewers to some truly unusual home-buying situations. Then on Friday, HGTV rolls out another premiere with “Roast My Rental,” adding yet another fresh title to the network’s growing lineup.
Returning favorites are still everywhere throughout the week. “Crashers” continues its first season, “Renovation Resort Showdown” keeps the competition going, “Worst Yard on the Block” returns with two more episodes, and “House Hunters” once again fills multiple nights across the schedule.
It seems like HGTV is making this summer all about introducing new shows while keeping its biggest franchises front and center. Honestly, it’s a nice balance that gives longtime viewers something familiar while also making room for new concepts.
