It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia continues the rollercoaster ride in season 17, as every episode is a fresh dive into Paddy's Pub's surreal world. Season 17 Episode 5 is set to release on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET/PT on FXX.
Nearly twenty years old and still running wild, the show has managed to retain its off-center sensibility and cult following, blending topical satire with hallucinatory situations only the Gang can live in, and ruin. The next episode is also making waves among the viewers, to know where and when to watch it.
With four episodes already out, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 17 reached the midpoint of its eight-episode season. Next are more shifty decisions and insane antics, as has been standard with the show.

International streaming availability
Availability of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 17 outside the US is region-specific. More recent seasons in the UK, Canada, and Australia have typically appeared on Disney+ under the Star brand or with other local broadcasters. The schedules are never similar to US releases. Weeks at a time or months are standard, and the episodes debut in sets, not one at a time.
The worldwide audiences are requested to view their local channels for the actual updates of their respective areas.
Timing and season structure release for Season 17
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 17 is released every week and comprises eight episodes. The first premiere was in the shape of a two-part episode premiere on July 9, 2025, and will end by late August 2025 with no change in the schedule.
This eight-episode model has been the new standard and facilitates a more streamlined narrative and thematic build. Episode 5 marks the start of the second portion of the season.
Episode 4 recap
The last episode, called "Thought Leadership: A Corporate Conversation," came out on July 23, 2025. It was a satirical take on corporate branding and PR as the Gang completely botched a scripted "thought leadership" campaign as a response to a public image crisis. The satire mocked the corporate buzzword craze, shallow branding, and online reputation management based on the Gang's failure to keep a clean professional environment.
It dispelled all speculation concerning a Dennis-created scenario, as in episode 4. The episode was built on ensemble implosion to fuel the satire of the narrative.
What to expect in Episode 5
While synopsis information for Episode 5 is limited, the title "The Gang Goes to a Dog Track" does offer some hints. Similar to past seasons, the safest bet is that this will be another episode where some very ordinary group activity gets out of hand. The Gang betting, racing, or attempting to operate some sort of scam at the dog track is a sure thing.
Trending
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia remains faithful to its dark reputation as an offbeat comedy series, and episode 5 promises to dish out another offbeat adventure.
