TV Globinho returns to TV Globo on October 10, 2026, but the comeback announced so far is not a regular return of the show to the schedule. The network has confirmed a one-off special edition, set to air on Saturday morning, as part of the Criança Esperança 2026 programming. As of September 2, the exact airtime and the special's attractions had not yet been officially announced.
When does TV Globinho return in 2026?
The special is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2026. Gshow reported on August 12 that TV Globinho will be part of the opening of the so-called Maratona da Esperança, the Criança Esperança commemorative programming that runs from October 10 to 12.
The key point is straightforward: there is an official date for the comeback, but it refers to a one-time edition. This distinction matters because the announcement raised expectations of a broader return of the children's program, while the official communication uses terms such as “special edition” and “one-time broadcast.”
What time will TV Globinho air on October 10?
As of September 2, 2026, TV Globo had confirmed only that the special would air during the morning. The official sources consulted did not give a start time in hours and minutes.
For that reason, any more precise time circulating before a network update should be treated as unconfirmed. The schedule may be detailed closer to the date, and the safest information for now is to keep Saturday morning in mind and check TV Globo's official listings when they are updated.
Is TV Globinho returning permanently?
There is no announcement of a regular return to the schedule. What has been confirmed is a special, one-time edition linked to Criança Esperança 2026. The official wording does not support the idea that TV Globinho will once again air every day or in a fixed weekly slot.
In other words, saying “TV Globinho is back” is accurate when referring to the October 10 special, but it can be misleading if understood as a permanent relaunch. Until Globo announces otherwise, the most precise reading is: a one-off comeback within a special event.
How does the special fit into Criança Esperança 2026?
TV Globinho is part of the Maratona da Esperança, which starts on October 10 and continues through October 12. According to Globo, the 2026 programming uses nostalgia and childhood memories as one of the campaign's themes, under the slogan “Protegendo o Futuro das Crianças” (“Protecting Children's Future”).
The marathon will end with the Show da Esperança on October 12. The network has said that this event will air after the 9 p.m. telenovela. TV Globinho's special, therefore, is one element of the commemorative programming rather than a standalone program announced outside the Criança Esperança context.

Why has the announcement generated so much interest?
TV Globinho held a memorable place in Globo's children's programming. In a retrospective published on August 25, 2026, Gshow records that the show aired from July 3, 2000 to August 1, 2015, totaling 15 years on the network. That longevity helps explain why even a one-off comeback can trigger strong nostalgia among viewers who grew up with the program.
The 2026 special clearly taps into that nostalgic legacy, but that does not mean the new edition will necessarily repeat the format, hosts or lineup from earlier eras. Without an official announcement, any list of cartoons, guests or segments should be treated as speculation.
What should viewers check closer to October 10?
- Start time: this is the main practical detail still pending.
- Duration: Globo has not yet officially said how long the special will run in the sources consulted.
- Hosting: it is still unclear who will host the program, if the special uses hosts.
- Attractions: cartoons, segments, guest appearances and possible tributes have not yet been officially detailed.
- Digital availability: it is also best to wait for specific confirmation about simulcasting, replays or later availability on platforms.
To avoid outdated information, the safest reference is the Criança Esperança coverage on Gshow and TV Globo's official schedule as the date approaches.
In short
TV Globinho returns on October 10, 2026, in the morning, as part of the Criança Esperança programming. The confirmed comeback is a one-off special edition, not a regular return to the schedule. As of September 2, Globo had not yet announced the exact airtime, duration, hosts or list of attractions. Those details should be updated only when they appear in official communication.
