From next week (Mon 14th Oct), Neighbours will be slipping back to 3 episodes a week in Aust for the rest of this year (until Wed 18th Dec). It is currently believed that there will then be a Christmas break before the show returns to 4 episodes a week in 2025.

Neighbours slips back to 3 episodes per week
From next week, Ramsay Street takes up residence on 3 instead of 4 days a week on 10.

In a surprising move, next week Neighbours will screen 3 days a week rather than 4.
A Network 10 spokesperson: "From Monday, 14 October through to Wednesday, 18 December, Neighbours will air three times a week (Monday to Wednesday at 4.00pm on 10 and 10 Play and 6:30pm on 10 Peach Comedy)."
Family Feud will screen Thursdays and Fridays on 10 and with Friends on 10 Peach Comedy.
But the move is not permanent.
"In 2025, your favourite Ramsay Street residents will return to screens four times a week from Monday to Thursday," they added.
It isn't clear if the move might put Australian viewers out of sync with UK viewers given episodes have screened on the same day since the show's revival.
Neighbours, which traditionally screened 5 days a week, returned as 4 days a week when it returned in 2022 on 10 and Amazon Prime.
Other global soaps have also seen output changes with Shortland Street dropping from 5 to 3 episodes per week and Britain's Hollyoaks to 3 episodes per week.
Home & Away remains at outlier at up to 6 episodes per week on Seven.
