TV Time Shutdown Date: July 15, 2026

Updated 2026-07-08 · Stub

As devoted users of TV Time, we find ourselves at a crossroads with the impending shutdown of the app scheduled for July 15, 2026. For years, TV Time has been our go-to platform for tracking episodes, rating shows, and maintaining a detailed watch history. However, with the countdown to its closure ticking away, it's crucial to understand what this means for us and how we can preserve our valuable data. Fortunately, Stub emerges as a promising alternative, offering us the opportunity to seamlessly transition our TV Time history while continuing to enjoy tracking our favorite shows on web, iOS, and Android.

Understanding the TV Time Shutdown

The announcement of TV Time's shutdown has left many of us wondering what led to this decision and what it means for our meticulously curated watchlists. July 15, 2026, marks the end of an era for an app that has been a staple for TV enthusiasts worldwide. On this date, all user data, including episode history, ratings, and followed shows, will be permanently deleted.

The shutdown means that if we don't take action before this date, our entire TV Time history will be lost forever. This includes all the shows we've tracked over the years, the episodes we've ticked off, and the ratings we've painstakingly assigned. It's essential to act now to ensure our viewing history is not lost in the digital abyss.

What You'll Lose When TV Time Shuts Down

With the shutdown of TV Time, users stand to lose a treasure trove of personal viewing data. This includes the exhaustive list of shows we've followed, the episodes we've marked as watched, and the ratings and comments we've shared with the community. For many of us, this data represents years of TV viewing history that we've diligently maintained.

Beyond the loss of historical data, the shutdown also means we will no longer have access to a centralized platform for tracking new episodes, discovering trending shows, and engaging with a community of like-minded fans. With TV Time gone, finding an alternative that meets these needs becomes imperative.

Preserving your TV Time history involves exporting your data before the app shuts down. Fortunately, TV Time has provided a way for users to do this via gdpr.tvtime.com. Here's a step-by-step guide to exporting your data:

First, visit gdpr.tvtime.com and log in with your TV Time credentials. Once logged in, navigate to the data export section and request your data export.
