The Last of Us Episode 5: What Time Does it Air?

The HBO adaptation of the post-apocalyptic game, The Last of Us, will be switching things up this week for Episode 5.

Football fans who have been enjoying HBO’s post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us won’t have to worry about a scheduling conflict this Sunday. Neil Druckmann confirmed that episode five of The Last of Us would be airing a bit earlier than normal, as Super Bowl LVII will likely run well past the show’s regular air date. So, what time does The Last of Us Episode 5 air?

When is The Last of Us Episode 5 Release Date?

To avoid a scheduling conflict with Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, February 12, The Last of Us Episode 5 will air on Friday, February 10, 2023, at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max. Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann revealed the information on Twitter.

From Episode 6 onwards, The Last of Us should resume its regular schedule, airing on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.

Previews for Episode 5 revealed we’ll be meeting Henry and Sam.
