All good things must eventually come to an end, and Outlander is no exception. Outlander Season 8, the final chapter of the time-and-space-spanning romance, is coming to Starz soon. So, when can you expect the release date for Outlander Season 8 on Starz to arrive?

The Outlander Season 8 release date is March 6, 2026 on Starz. It has been a little over a year since the second half of the seventh season concluded on January 17, 2025. Outlander Season 8 will consist of ten episodes, which will presumably be released on a weekly basis. Naturally, this is just one of the many TV and streaming show release dates for you to keep straight in the year to come. Here's an official teaser trailer for Outlander Season 8, which promises that viewers are "not ready" for the impending ending:

Outlander is the story of the epic, time-bending romance between World War II nurse Claire Randall (Caitríona Balfe) and Highland warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan). After Claire travels back in time several centuries, she and Jamie fall in love, and are eventually married and have a child together. Over the seasons, they have been separated by time and distance, but have always found their way back to one another. The series is based on the novels by Diana Gabaldon.

The release date for the premiere of Outlander Season 8 on Starz is March 6, 2026.
