Added DiffLines:
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' tends to get this from time to time to Australia and Canada -- the first half of every season will air in said countries first while the US has to wait until fall for the new episodes to premiere along with the second half of the season, withheld to air as part of the Creator/PBSKids back to school event.
** Several episodes of Season 14 aired in the United Kingdom first before their US premieres.
* In ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', after airing the "season premiere" (actually the sixth episode) for season 3 in the United States, Nickelodeon apparently forgot it existed, and didn't get around to actually airing the rest of the season until almost a year later. By the time they actually got around to doing it, the entire season had been played in Latin America and the UK months earlier.
* The third season of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Due to episodes airing in a foreign country several months before Nickelodeon actually aired them in the US, plot twists were all-too-often known ahead of schedule.
** And half of Season 3 was prematurely released to DVD, making a large chunk of Nickelodeon's "Countdown to the Comet" event pointless even if you DIDN'T pirate the episodes off the Internet.
** Episodes from Book 3 of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' were accidentally leaked onto the internet by Nickelodeon's Mexican affiliate. The leaked episodes - which were all in Spanish - [[http://www.forbes.com/sites/merrillbarr/2014/06/23/the-legend-of-korra-should-not-be-premiering-on-nickelodeon-this-friday/ may have contributed to the series being aired early]]...to the detriment of ratings.
* Nicktoons ''in general'' have had this problem since around 2000:
** A ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' ep that was supposed to premiere in 2002 didn't air until 2004 (even stories that had been dependent on said episode [[OutOfOrder aired before it]]).
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Catdog}}'''s finale didn't air until 2005, after it had been shown in other countries.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'' 's finale was delayed several months, allowing the UK to show it first.
** ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' began its regular runs in Canada and the UK before the US.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}: Pre-School Daze'' aired in the UK 4 months before it did in the US.
** Several ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' stories aired in the UK long before their US airings.
** Several of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' episodes are aired in England long before they're shown in the US. Stupid Cupid was aired in Great Britain months before it was finally aired in the United States. A more notorious example is Timmy the Barbarian and No Substitute for Crazy. These particular episodes were aired in Great Britain first. In the U.S., they were not aired until AFTER the fifth season finale, Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3.
*** In fact, several episodes from seasons 2-5 were aired in Australia several months, or perhaps, a year before the US. An example from this is from the episode "Information Stupor Highway", which didn't air until ''a year'' and three months later in the US.
*** Then we have Season 7. The final third of the season aired in several countries ''months'' before the US. Most of these episodes aired in the US in mid-2011. However, one episode, "Farm Pit", didn't air in the U.S. until mid-''2012'', despite airing in several other countries almost a year prior.
*** Season 9 fell under this too. A lot of the episodes after "Scary [=GodCouple=]" (which was only the SIXTH full episode of the season out of 26 episodes) aired in several countries before the U.S. aired them.
*** And Season 10 has now fallen victim to this too. Almost every episode after "The Fair Bears" (only the first half of the fourth episode of the 20 episodes of Season 10) have aired in at least one non-US country before the USA.
** ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
*** The episode "Goo Goo Gas" first aired in Germany & Latin America almost ''two years'' before it aired in the US (Germany aired the episode in November 2007, but the US didn't air it until July 2009). It would later air in 2008 in several other countries as well, including Canada, South Africa, & the UK. Heck, it was even released on DVD nine months before it premiered.
*** Most episodes in the last thirds of Seasons 3 & 4 would air in Germany before the US.
*** 6 episodes from Season 9[[note]]It Came from Goo Lagoon, Don't Look Now, Séance Shméance, Kenny the Cat, Yeti Krabs, & [=SpongeBob=] You're Fired![[/note]] aired in Greece in late June-early July 2013. It took several months (in most episodes' cases) to over a year and a half (in Yeti Krabs' case) for these episodes to air in the US.
*** "Bulletin Board", an episode from the last quarter of Season 9, premiered in Canada nearly two months before its US premiere. This episode premiered in the US on October 1, 2016. By contrast, the episode premiered in Canada on August 12 of the same year. "Snail Mail", another episode from Season 9's last quarter, also premiered in Canada ahead of its US airdate, although this wasn't as extreme ("Snail Mail" premiered in Canada on October 7, 2016. It premiered in the USA on October 22 of the same year).
*** Season 10 also suffered from this. The episodes "Unreal Estate/Code Yellow", "The Incredible Shrinking Sponge/Sportz?" and "Feral Friends/Don't Wake Patrick" (the finale) all have aired in Nickelodeon Israel in March, July and August of 2017. To make matters worse for US, the channels having an English track (Nickelodeon Russia and Nickelodeon Spain) also aired the last two pairs, meaning people have heard the English audio before the US. In the case of Russia, "The Incredible Shrinking Sponge/Sportz?" reruns have been removed from the schedule after 2 weeks since the original airing, and they resumed only ''a year later''.
*** This trope has continued into Season 11, with "There's a Sponge in My Soup", "Man Ray Returns", and "Larry the Floor Manager" airing in Spain and Portugal in September 2017, before their US airdates.[[note]]This is a very minor case of this trope for the latter two segments as they aired in the US two days after airing in Spain, but the former segment's airdate in the US is November 7, making it a more prominent example of this trope.[[/note]]
*** Later, two other Season 11 episodes, "Sanitation Insanity" and "Bunny Hunt", aired in Spain, Portugal, and Turkey before their US airdates, on March 21, 2018. The latter segment aired in the USA on March 30 of the same year, but the former didn't air until May 7, all in the meanwhile airing in other countries before the US, including in Germany[[note]]April 13[[/note]], most Central & Eastern Europe countries[[note]]including Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and Czechoslovakia -- also April 13[[/note]], France[[note]]April 21[[/note]], and Israel[[note]]April 22[[/note]] (in that order) as well, before the United States. IN the United States, the episode got released on Amazon Video and Google Play early on April 21, alongside its sister segment.
*** Yet another episode of this season, "Shopping List", has been aired in Nickelodeon Israel on July 4, 2018 and was released in the US in September. Same goes to ''four'' episodes which aired in Russia along with the English track on July 26 and 27: "Whale Watching", "Krusty Kleaners", "Patnocchio" and "Chef Bob"; they weren't even scheduled to air in the US at the time!
** The second season of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' was aired in Latin America thanks to the efforts of Mundo Nick, Nick's South American subsidiary. The season was eventually aired in North America by Nicktoons TV, several years after the cancellation of the show (and several years after the show proved to be a hit on DVD).
** Like above, the 3rd season of ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' premiered in Latin America (and Germany) a couple years before coming on Nicktoons Network. Thankfully, a fan had put up the episodes up in both Spanish and English after their premieres.
** Several episodes from the final season of ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'' aired in other countries long before they aired in the US, one airing for the first time in 2006, at least two years after the show finished production. Others would not air in the US until ''2016'', and one more episode still has yet to air, along with the series finale, which was released straight to DVD in the US but aired everywhere else like the other special episodes. All of these episodes could easily be watched on [=YouTube=] and were even available on iTunes at one time.
** Several of the later episodes of ''WesternAnimation/{{Monsuno}}'' season 1 were shown in Canada first, and Japan was a few episodes ahead when season 2 debuted in America.
** Two episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' ("Toads and Tiaras" and "Two Boys and a Baby") aired first in Italy, while four ("Racing Hearts", "Missed Connection", "Driving Ambition" and "Predict Ability") aired in Australia first. Additionally, Amazon released the special "Tripped!" on the day it was supposed to air even after Nick pulled it from that day's lineup, which also happened to "The Loudest Thanksgiving" 2 days before airing.
** The final 9 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBeaks'' which included the series finale aired on Nicktoons in the US in late December 2017 however the episodes first aired in Africa in July.
** ''WesternAnimation/WelcomeToTheWayne'' aired, as of this writing, almost all of the first season in a block over several weeks in the United Kingdom while America had not even reached the halfway mark.
* Like Nicktoons above, Creator/CartoonNetwork also has problems with this. To name examples...
** Several episodes of ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' premiered in Europe and South America weeks and sometimes months before its US premiere.
** Most episodes from the second half of the final season of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' premiered in Europe three months before they aired in the US, although the series finale did have its premiere in the States first.
** The series finale of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' was aired in the Philippines about a month before it was aired in the United States. The same occurred with some of the episodes.
** ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' finally aired out TheMovie finale in the United States in November 2009, a year after it was completed and months after it was shown in Scandinavia, Australia, and Southeast Asia. The show also has the distinction of being a Canadian production that never aired past its first season in its home country for well over a decade, until Cartoon Network created a channel in the region.
** Several episodes from the fourth season of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' premiered in Canada months before they saw the light of day in the US.
** Two Season 3 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' aired in France several weeks before the United States.
** The last few Season 3 episodes[[note]]"The Downer", "The Egg", "The Triangle", and "The Money", specifically[[/note]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' aired in Continental Europe and Australia months before America and Britain. Most episodes of Season 4 aired in the Netherlands and Belgium before the rest of the world.
*** "The Egg" has got to be the most pre-empted episode of those four Season 3 episodes. It didn't get to air in America until after Season 4 ''had already started''.
*** Much earlier, "The Helmet" from Season 1 aired in Latin America/Brazil in early January 2012. In the US and UK, it only aired 2 months later.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' had a similar problem, with episodes airing in Canada and Europe a month or more before their premiere in the US. The series finale was actually available on Bittorrent sites a full ''six months'' before it (finally) aired in America, due to this.
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' suffered from various iterations of this during its second season. The US and Canadian broadcasts used to be on the same day, but when the US airing of the second episode of the second season was delayed a week (for the ''Ben 10: Alien Force'' premiere), Canada consistently remained one episode ahead for the remainder of the season.
** Although the second season did not reach UK screens until some months after its North American debut, when it did, a new episode was aired ''every weekday'', instead of just once a week. Consequently, the ninth, tenth, and eleventh episodes of the season premiered on UK television, nearly one, two, and three weeks before their Canadian airing respectively. However, the two-part season finale, "A Bridge Too Close", did ''not'' air in the UK until a month or two later, allowing Canada and America to air it first.
** Much more infuriatingly, the entire second half of the season, from episode seven onwards, premiered in ''Dubai'' – dubbed into Arabic, no less – successfully ruining a lot of the surprises that were in store.
* Season 2 of ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' had two episodes criticizing Creator/{{BET}} pulled by Creator/AdultSwim in the US, but aired on Canada's Creator/{{Teletoon}} without incident. Those two episodes ended up on DVD.
* The first 7 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' 's 3rd season premiered in the US before they aired in Italy. And that same season, the 4Kids dub of the last 7 eps aired on YTV in Canada a few months before America (thus alerting viewers, for example, to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sVxBKXk9PI this filler scene]] being cut).
** And while we're on the subject of Winx, its "other" English dub is produced in Canada with Canadian voices, and YTV ''still'' ended up airing the 4K dub. Not Canadian enough for them eh?
** Most English-speaking countries have yet to see the post-S3 movie (though Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s acquisition of the property may change this), even though one of its soundtrack songs was performed by Australian Natalie Imbruglia.
** And for the most bizarre example, the first country to get the 2nd movie in a regular run (after a premiere at the Rome film festival) is Russia… a country where the 1st film was apparently released direct to DVD.
* The second season of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' has been aired in Australia on March 1st, and was finished before the US even premiered it.
** Canada and Bulgaria (of all places) also got it before the US.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' did this in a very tortoise-and-hare way. In France, the entirety of season 2 was played at a rate of one episode per week. In the US, it started playing shortly after it did in France, but then power-housed through half the season in three weeks, then stopped and let France catch up, and then started just showing random episodes whenever the hell it felt like it until finishing off with a mini-marathon and a season finale. It did manage to beat France to the punch, though. Later seasons weren't shown nearly as randomly though.
* ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'' was first aired on Brazil than any other country. The first (and eventually, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork only]]) season ended there even before it debuted in the US.
* Season 3 of ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'' got aired in several Scandinavian countries before it came to the states. By the time it did, most of the fandom knew about the spoilers and was keeping quiet for the sake of everybody else.
* A bizarre and possibly literal example: ''[[Franchise/DisneyFairies Tinker Bell]] and the Lost Treasure'' was theatrically released in Latin America in September 2009, ahead of its direct-to-DVD release in the states in late October.
** And it had a short run at the Disney-owned El Capitan Theatre in LA, for the sole purpose of making it eligible for Oscar submission.
** ''The Great Fairy Rescue'' was released in New Zealand and Australia cinemas in August 2010. Disney also ran it at the El Capitan for two weeks in September.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'''s various markets have such vastly different schedules and airing orders for the second half of the first season that a given episode's first showing may be in the US, UK, Canada, or somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere, without any sort of pattern.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'''s episode "Wizard of Odd", aired in Australia first, long before it aired in the US.
** Also, the episode "The Secret to Success" was first aired in Latin America, The UK, and Russia.
** "We Call It Maze", "Ladies and Gentlemen, He is Max Modem", "Split Personality", and "Brain Drain" all aired in Latin America before the US. The former also aired in Taiwan and Brazil.
** A handful of episodes like "Minor Monogram" and "Perry the Actorpus" aired on a Chilean television station before they aired in America.
** For some reason, a few episodes of the 3rd season aired 1st in Philippine terrestrial TV- ''dubbed in Filipino''.
** Several later Season 4 episodes surfaced in Ukraine first. "Act Your Age" premiered in New Zealand first, against the wishes of the show's creators.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'''s Season 2 premier which crossed over with the ''Phineas and Ferb'' above aired on August 10, 2018, in Japan, in English, within hours of the American release date being [[ScheduleSlip finally]] confirmed as January 2019.
** In addition, the same episode, "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" aired in September 2018 in Germany, Poland, Spain, The UK, and Ireland.
** India aired the first half of Season 2 throughout November 2018.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' had an up and down time with the last half of its second season, sometimes having a month long gap between episodes. It was hinted that this came about from Lucas changing some aspects of some episodes at the last second. The UK and Canada began airing some episodes several weeks before the US. During the end-run it became only a week's difference between UK and US. The US only managed to get the season finale aired a day before the UK by airing it as the second half of a two-part evening event.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama World Tour''. A Canadian show that premiered the first episode in Canada, then decided to wait until September to air the next ones. In the mean time, the USA aired a new episode once a week. Then came Australia, who aired ''five'' new episodes a week.
** For comparison, Australia started 18 days later than Canada, and finished 8 days before Canada aired episode 2.
** USA gets even further ahead of Canada (although not as bad as Australia) by having the Aftermath episodes online exclusive.
** ''Revenge of the Island'' had its world premiere in France, while ''Pahkitew Island'' was first shown in Italy. The USA was the first country to broadcast ''The Ridonculous Race''.
* The ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Partial Terms of Endearment" was dropped from the US run (because of its abortion-related storyline) and first aired in the UK. It eventually became a DVD exclusive episode in the US.
* The final 5 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat'' aired in Asia on their Disney Channel a whopping 6 months before it aired in the US. The cause of this is unknown, PBS was for some reason holding the episode backs to premiere in the fall, and CBC was doing the same.
* Season 4 of the 2003/2007 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' series aired in Europe a whole two months before it was aired in Asia. [[ScrewedByTheNetwork It has never aired in the US]], and while it received direct-to-video releases in the region, the episodes where released at an extremely slow pace – the last of the episodes of Season 4 was only finally released in 2012, over 5 years after the episodes initially aired in Europe.
* At least one season of ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' managed to air in New Zealand on WNTV long before it was screened in the States, resulting in many fanvids with 'wntv' watermarks in the corner.
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', as aired on Creator/TheHub, usually has long breaks between every 5 episodes or so, supposedly due to time-consuming animation. However, after episode 20, "Partners," aired in the US, the break proceeded as planned for a couple of weeks until suddenly, with no prior warning, Canada's Teletoon network started airing the remaining episodes of season 1. According to online schedules, the US was not supposed to begin showing this batch of episodes until nearly ''2 months'' after the premier of "Partners". However, as of episode 23, it seems as though someone at either the Hub or Teletoon caught wind of the situation, and what was supposed to be the premiere of episode 24 in Canada a week later was abruptly replaced at the last minute by a rerun.
** And then Singapore aired episode 24 a few days before either network.
*** Not just episode 24, but episodes 25 and 26. Needless to say, everyone knew the twist at the end long before the episodes aired in the US.
*** It happened again with the first three episodes of Season 3 being leaked early, and now Internet Streaming sites are leaking Predacons Rising a full three weeks before it's supposed to air on TV. How the latter was accomplished is unknown at time of writing.
* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' episodes in Turkish ''and'' Portuguese were at one point about three episodes ahead of the U.S. airings. Dubbed. Considering Creator/CartoonNetwork had had the show for over a year and ''still'' hadn't finished airing the first season, that was insult on top of injury for the fanbase. It was all after a six-month hiatus after nine episodes, and a three-month hiatus after nine more. To repeat: the ''international dubs'' actually surpassed the country of origin's airing schedule.
* ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'' had 26 episodes produced in all for its first ([[ScrewedByTheNetwork and only]]) season. Only 11 episodes actually aired in the US on Cartoon Network before it quietly vanished while epsisodes 12-13 premiered on DVD and Blu-ray. New Zealand aired up to episode 17, and episode 18 premiered on DVD in the UK. Episodes 19-26 will make their premieres in the US, but on Creator/AdultSwim's Creator/{{Toonami}} block instead of Cartoon Network. At least the whole season—er... series will finally be run at last.
* In Canada, ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' first season was shown in [[{{Rerun}} reruns]] for ''a whole year''. After that, all later seasons were shown one after the other, even showing the Season 4 finale before the U.S. did.
** The spin-off ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' has had quite a few examples:
*** "Animals: It's Just A Word" was leaked online two weeks before it was supposed to air.
*** "The Fourth Wall" aired in the UK first on Creator/{{CITV}} three days before it aired in the United States.
*** In an odd case of a holiday episode being shown before a holiday, "More of the Same", a New Year's episode, was aired six months before said holiday.
*** The episodes "Mo' Money Mo' Problems" and "TV Knight 3" aired in France a month before the US.
*** "The Fight" aired on the Latin American feed a day before it aired in the USA.
*** "Little Elvis" aired in the UK a month before it aired in the US.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "In the Name of the Grandfather" premiered in Ireland and the United Kingdom a few days before it aired in the U.S. Justified, however, as the episode is set in Ireland, it premiered on St. Patrick's Day, and this was a special occurrence as part of its 20th season.
* ''WesternAnimation/GodTheDevilAndBob'' was cancelled in the US after four episodes after network executives received numerous complaints from MoralGuardians on religious grounds. The entire series was shown in Ireland, the UK and parts of Latin America.
* All 5 season two episodes of ''Nina Needs to Go!'' were first shown in Korea in December of 2014, nearly 2 and a half months before their American premiere and 4 months before they aired in their native land of the UK.
* The second and third seasons of ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'' were specifically made for an American audience [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff due to its huge popularity in the country]], so they aired first there. They showed up a year later in the home country of the show, two weeks before Mumfie was thrown into ''[[WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine Storytime with Thomas]]'', which only aired one segment of the show in its time slot as opposed to two, and one month before it premiered in the country where some of the episodes were made, Canada.
* The ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Equestria Girls]]'' series is interesting in that the severity of the trope increases with time.
** Very briefly, one ("Shake Your Tail!") of the first eight ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' shorts was accidentally uploaded — in English — in the '''German''' Equestria Girls channel. It was quickly taken down, and officially released roughly a month after the fact.
** The [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames next film in the series]] got hit twice with this:
*** Its five shorts were released one new each week on the official Equestria Girls Youtube Channels. Except that the European Spanish Equestria Girls channel screwed up and, on the second week, released not only the second short, but '''all the remaining ones at once''' (dubbed, but still). They were quickly taken down and restored at appropriate times, but obviously not before everyone had a copy and screenshots all over the web.
*** A downplayed case, but the Canadian Family Channel aired the film quite a few hours before Discovery Family on the same day — and they aired it uncut, too (the American broadcast was EditedForSyndication).
** The [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree fourth film]] gets an spectacular example: Discovery Kids Brasil aired the film an entire week before its American debut... With an English SAP track. And it wasn't EditedForSyndication, either. Cue spoilers, spoilers everywhere.
** The next major installment, for a change, was [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsMagicalMovieNight a set of three 22-minute specials]] announced for Summer 2017, and each airing on Discovery Family on June 24th, July 1st and July 6th, respectively. Poland aired them '''an entire 40 days earlier''' (May 14th, May 21st, May 28th) and Discovery Kids Mexico aired the first one eight days before Discovery Family (June 17th).
*** The morning after it was announced that the first special will be aired early in Mexico with an English audio track, ALL 3 SPECIALS WERE LEAKED IN ENGLISH.
** Two shorts of the ''Summertime Shorts'' block, the music videos "Mad Twience" and "Get the Show on the Road", were leaked in Russia in March 2017 by the person who performed the songs. These eventually aired on Discovery Family on July 30 and August 27, respectively.
* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E9TheFaultInOurCutieMarks "The Fault in Our Cutie Marks"]] aired in Poland three days before its official release in the United States. The episode being repeatedly pushed back and airing ''way'' OutOfOrder in the U.S. probably had something to do with it.
** Speaking of, the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E24TopBolt final]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 three]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E26ToWhereAndBackAgainPart2 episodes]] of Season 6 aired on Tiny Pop in the United Kingdom prior to the US.
** And now with the start of Season 7, after only airing the first episode a week after its U.S. premiere, Treehouse in Canada suddenly started airing two episodes per-weekend on Saturday and Sunday mornings (starting with "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E2AllBottledUp All Bottled Up]]", "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E3AFlurryOfEmotions A Flurry of Emotions]]"). The following week, after having "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E4RockSolidFriendship Rock Solid Friendship]]" on the same day as the U.S. airing, Canada overtook the U.S. the next day and ran all the way until the mid-season hiatus that came after the eleventh episode ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E11NotAskingForTrouble Not Asking for Trouble]]", which was aired in Canada on May 21 and the US on June 17). While this looked to be the end of it (going on the premise that there simply weren't any episodes produced after the 11th episode that could be aired early), it was not as the ''Tuesday'' (June 20) after the US airdate of the 11th episode, Boomerang Australia aired the 12th episode ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E12DiscordantHarmony Discordant Harmony]]") and the 13th ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E13ThePerfectPear The Perfect Pear]]") on June 21st. At the time neither of these episodes had a US airdate (but then aired together on August 5th).
*** This was then followed by the [[OutOfOrder 20th]] episode ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E18AHealthOfInformation A Health of Information]]") airing in Russia on September 18, ahead of the US airdate of September 23, and episodes 24, 25 and 26 ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E24UncommonBond Uncommon Bond]]", "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E25ShadowPlayPart1 Shadow Play Part 1]]" and "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E26ShadowPlayPart2 Part 2]]"), being scheduled to air in US on October 21st and 28th respectively, were [[EpicFail accidentally uploaded to Youtube when Hasbro used the wrong file]].
** All the season 8 episodes from "The Hearth's Warming Club" to the season finale aired in places like Australia, Germany, and Sweden a good six weeks before the US.
* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': A few days before the U.S. airing, both "The Hero" and "The Birthday Boy" aired in France early, and had also went online. In mid-2014, Latin America had also gotten a handful of episodes early, and much more infamously in the fandom, "The Liar" and "The Stray" had aired in the Netherlands a couple weeks early and both went online.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'': The ''show itself'' had premiered its first short in the Netherlands two weeks early. (Even a few days before it went online the U.S.)
** Thanks to the show's air dates trying to sync a bit with the release of the LEGO sets, unlike other shows on Cartoon Network the premiere dates in the U.S. to international television often rival each other.
** A half-hour special, in the format of "Mixed Up Special", with most of the first season's shorts packed in, which one could consider to be some kind of catch-up special, didn't even air anywhere except India. Because of that, nothing is known about it. No one even knew it existed until around a year after somebody posted a low-quality ripping of it on Dailymotion.
* The revival of ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'', which was chiefly an American cartoon series, initially aired from 2006 to 2007 on the British television channel [=CITV=]. The series did eventually air in America on [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] in 2008, but was pulled from the schedule before every episode had a chance to air. While the revival was said to resume airing on [[Creator/{{Toonzai}} TheCW4Kids]] in fall 2009, it never came to pass.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' had this happen once a season: The last seven episodes of season one (20-26) and final 18 episodes of season two (35-52) aired in other countries (such as Australia) a number of months before they did in America.
* The two-part finale of WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown premiered in the United Kingdom in March 2006. Brazil aired it in April. The two-part finale eventually aired in the United States in May.
* Similar to the ''Friday Night Lights'' example where episodes were available early on a certain cable provider, those who had access to the Watch Disney Junior app (now Disney NOW) could watch ''WesternAnimation/GoldieAndBear'', ''WesternAnimation/SheriffCalliesWildWest'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'' 2 months early.
** This treatment also happened to episodes which get their release dates delayed. For example, the ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'' episode "First Responders To The Rescue" and the ''WesternAnimation/FancyNancy'' episode "Camp Fancy; Nancy's Vanity D'Art", both of which were delayed due to hurricanes, were available on Disney NOW before they actually premiered on TV.
** Rival network Creator/PBSKids also utilizes the "channel-related app premiere" method, with them using it to premiere ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', ''WesternAnimation/PinkaliciousAndPeterrific'' and ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'', as well as some new episodes of their other shows that have yet to air on TV.
* Season 5 of ''Literature/{{Franklin}}'' was for some reason broadcasted in several countries worldwide (notably, Malaysia) 2 months before it was finally aired on Noggin in the US.
* Due to its [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff international popularity]], episodes of ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' sometimes air English dubs in North America before before the original versions even air in its home country of France.
* The most ridiculous case of this trope is the first half of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'', which was aired in the US only after ''every other country'' (except Japan and a few others) aired it.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Supernoobs}}'' aired in the United Kingdom and the United States, long before it could be released in Canada.
* ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'' debuted on Creator/DisneyXD several months before it did on Creator/{{Teletoon}}, despite being a creation of the latter network. It had an even earlier premiere in France on France 4 than either, although France does co-produce the show with Canada.
* At San Diego Comic Con in the summer of 1993, three ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' shorts were screened months before their premieres on TV: "Yakko's World", "No Pain, No Painting" and "Potty Emergency", the latter of which had some scenes that were edited from the initial television airing. The first short also aired [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdltkhFz3cY as a promo]] a few weeks before the show's debut on Fox Kids, and the second short was also played at Worldcon. Two years later, the short "The Big Wrap Party Tonight" aired as a promo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn-Nq7R-t4w on New Year's Eve]] two months before it premiered but with the lyrics changed.
** Like "Yakko's World", the "Brainstem" segment from ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' aired on several WB affiliates, but with Brain's line at the end being altered to "Now, let's get this show on the road. Yes!"
* The 2nd half of season 2 of ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' aired in the UK before it aired in the US. New episodes were aired daily which caused POP to air the remaining episodes in about a week.
** Poland got the final five shorts long before any other country.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016'' had its premiere in almost every country before the U.S. in October 2016[[note]]Some regions, like Canada and Latin America, actually waited until the U.S. premiered it[[/note]], while the U.S. didn’t get it until April the next year. In February 2018 for example, while the U.S. had only just started Season 2, the UK was already ~16 episodes ahead!
** Actually averted with the episodes "All Koiled Up", "Double Hex", "Ye Olde Laser Duel" and "Ben Again and Again", which premiered in the US before anywhere else!
* Despite being a Canadian show produced for TV Ontario's children's block, ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' first aired in the United States two weeks before its home country showed it. In fact, a majority of the episodes of the show aired in the U.S. first before Canada got them, with the exception of several holiday-themed episodes (which Nick decided to hold back. However, Nick did air "Pups Save Christmas" before Canada did), "Pups Save A Pool Day" and "Circus Pup Formers" (the latter two due to Nick taking a hiatus in between new episodes).
* The ''WesternAnimation/PhantomInvestigators'' episodes "Skating The Plank", "From Egypt, With Love", "Haunted Dreams", and all episodes from "The Fifth P.I." onward all debuted in Canada on Creator/{{Teletoon}} first- however they never ended up airing in America at all due to Creator/KidsWB cancelling the show after six episodes had aired (and OutOfOrder, to boot) due to not having enough male viewers.
* On the first episode of Creator/{{ITV}}'s 1992 SaturdayMorningKidsShow ''What's Up, Doc?'' (which, as the title suggests, was very Creator/WarnerBros based), they told the audience they'd be getting to see the new show ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' before its American premiere. Which was true, but it was a matter of ''hours''. (And since it was a weekly slot, they fell behind immediately.)
* ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'': The Season 2 episodes "Easter Wolfies" to "Romeo's Action Toys" aired in India in November of 2018 before airing in the United States.
* The series ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreet'' is set to premiere in the U.S in March 2019. However, to date, the show has premiered in almost the entirety of Europe and Africa in December 2018.
* Even though ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheThreeCaballeros'' is an American produced series, it first came out on the Disney Life app in the Philippines on June 9, 2018, and has yet to be released in America. Its only other known air date at the moment is on Disney Channel Asia on January 1, 2019.
* The ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' episodes "The Missing Links Of Moorshire" and "[=McMystery=] At [=McDuck=] Manor" aired in Scandinavia on March 21 and 28, 2018 before their US air dates of May 18 and 25.
* The ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor'' episode "Science Unfair" first aired in the UK on February 10, 2018, which is 2 weeks before the US.
* The ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' episodes that will air in the US in March 2019 came out in Germany in February.
* The ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' episodes "The Birthday Wish" and "Royal School Fair" respectively premiered in Spain and the UK on December 22, 2017 and March 30, 2018, before their US release dates of January 5 and May 15, 2018 .
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' first premiered in the UK on November 26, 2016 while the US first aired it on December 16, 2016, where by that point, 13 episodes already aired. This spread throughout the rest of the first half of the season, and the last 7 episodes, all premiering in Poland and Australia before the US.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Stoked}}'' managed to air the entirety of the series in Australia in 2011, a year and a half before Canada finished the show, with the confirmation that the series was over after two season and 52 episodes overall.
* ''WesternAnimation/SuperDuperSumos'' premiered in the UK in September 2001 on BBC One, seven months before its US debut on Nickelodeon.
* The ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'' episode "The Other Big Engine; Grudge Match" was posted online by the U.S. Creator/NickJr the day before its' North American premiere, and a week before its' UK premiere.
** Several episodes of the same season also aired in Mexico before they did in the United States or United Kingdom due to [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff the popularity of]] ''Big World! Big Adventures!'' in that country.
** Several episodes of Season 14 aired in the United Kingdom first before their US premieres.
* In ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', after airing the "season premiere" (actually the sixth episode) for season 3 in the United States, Nickelodeon apparently forgot it existed, and didn't get around to actually airing the rest of the season until almost a year later. By the time they actually got around to doing it, the entire season had been played in Latin America and the UK months earlier.
* The third season of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Due to episodes airing in a foreign country several months before Nickelodeon actually aired them in the US, plot twists were all-too-often known ahead of schedule.
** And half of Season 3 was prematurely released to DVD, making a large chunk of Nickelodeon's "Countdown to the Comet" event pointless even if you DIDN'T pirate the episodes off the Internet.
** Episodes from Book 3 of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' were accidentally leaked onto the internet by Nickelodeon's Mexican affiliate. The leaked episodes - which were all in Spanish - [[http://www.forbes.com/sites/merrillbarr/2014/06/23/the-legend-of-korra-should-not-be-premiering-on-nickelodeon-this-friday/ may have contributed to the series being aired early]]...to the detriment of ratings.
* Nicktoons ''in general'' have had this problem since around 2000:
** A ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' ep that was supposed to premiere in 2002 didn't air until 2004 (even stories that had been dependent on said episode [[OutOfOrder aired before it]]).
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Catdog}}'''s finale didn't air until 2005, after it had been shown in other countries.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'' 's finale was delayed several months, allowing the UK to show it first.
** ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' began its regular runs in Canada and the UK before the US.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}: Pre-School Daze'' aired in the UK 4 months before it did in the US.
** Several ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' stories aired in the UK long before their US airings.
** Several of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' episodes are aired in England long before they're shown in the US. Stupid Cupid was aired in Great Britain months before it was finally aired in the United States. A more notorious example is Timmy the Barbarian and No Substitute for Crazy. These particular episodes were aired in Great Britain first. In the U.S., they were not aired until AFTER the fifth season finale, Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3.
*** In fact, several episodes from seasons 2-5 were aired in Australia several months, or perhaps, a year before the US. An example from this is from the episode "Information Stupor Highway", which didn't air until ''a year'' and three months later in the US.
*** Then we have Season 7. The final third of the season aired in several countries ''months'' before the US. Most of these episodes aired in the US in mid-2011. However, one episode, "Farm Pit", didn't air in the U.S. until mid-''2012'', despite airing in several other countries almost a year prior.
*** Season 9 fell under this too. A lot of the episodes after "Scary [=GodCouple=]" (which was only the SIXTH full episode of the season out of 26 episodes) aired in several countries before the U.S. aired them.
*** And Season 10 has now fallen victim to this too. Almost every episode after "The Fair Bears" (only the first half of the fourth episode of the 20 episodes of Season 10) have aired in at least one non-US country before the USA.
** ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
*** The episode "Goo Goo Gas" first aired in Germany & Latin America almost ''two years'' before it aired in the US (Germany aired the episode in November 2007, but the US didn't air it until July 2009). It would later air in 2008 in several other countries as well, including Canada, South Africa, & the UK. Heck, it was even released on DVD nine months before it premiered.
*** Most episodes in the last thirds of Seasons 3 & 4 would air in Germany before the US.
*** 6 episodes from Season 9[[note]]It Came from Goo Lagoon, Don't Look Now, Séance Shméance, Kenny the Cat, Yeti Krabs, & [=SpongeBob=] You're Fired![[/note]] aired in Greece in late June-early July 2013. It took several months (in most episodes' cases) to over a year and a half (in Yeti Krabs' case) for these episodes to air in the US.
*** "Bulletin Board", an episode from the last quarter of Season 9, premiered in Canada nearly two months before its US premiere. This episode premiered in the US on October 1, 2016. By contrast, the episode premiered in Canada on August 12 of the same year. "Snail Mail", another episode from Season 9's last quarter, also premiered in Canada ahead of its US airdate, although this wasn't as extreme ("Snail Mail" premiered in Canada on October 7, 2016. It premiered in the USA on October 22 of the same year).
*** Season 10 also suffered from this. The episodes "Unreal Estate/Code Yellow", "The Incredible Shrinking Sponge/Sportz?" and "Feral Friends/Don't Wake Patrick" (the finale) all have aired in Nickelodeon Israel in March, July and August of 2017. To make matters worse for US, the channels having an English track (Nickelodeon Russia and Nickelodeon Spain) also aired the last two pairs, meaning people have heard the English audio before the US. In the case of Russia, "The Incredible Shrinking Sponge/Sportz?" reruns have been removed from the schedule after 2 weeks since the original airing, and they resumed only ''a year later''.
*** This trope has continued into Season 11, with "There's a Sponge in My Soup", "Man Ray Returns", and "Larry the Floor Manager" airing in Spain and Portugal in September 2017, before their US airdates.[[note]]This is a very minor case of this trope for the latter two segments as they aired in the US two days after airing in Spain, but the former segment's airdate in the US is November 7, making it a more prominent example of this trope.[[/note]]
*** Later, two other Season 11 episodes, "Sanitation Insanity" and "Bunny Hunt", aired in Spain, Portugal, and Turkey before their US airdates, on March 21, 2018. The latter segment aired in the USA on March 30 of the same year, but the former didn't air until May 7, all in the meanwhile airing in other countries before the US, including in Germany[[note]]April 13[[/note]], most Central & Eastern Europe countries[[note]]including Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and Czechoslovakia -- also April 13[[/note]], France[[note]]April 21[[/note]], and Israel[[note]]April 22[[/note]] (in that order) as well, before the United States. IN the United States, the episode got released on Amazon Video and Google Play early on April 21, alongside its sister segment.
*** Yet another episode of this season, "Shopping List", has been aired in Nickelodeon Israel on July 4, 2018 and was released in the US in September. Same goes to ''four'' episodes which aired in Russia along with the English track on July 26 and 27: "Whale Watching", "Krusty Kleaners", "Patnocchio" and "Chef Bob"; they weren't even scheduled to air in the US at the time!
** The second season of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' was aired in Latin America thanks to the efforts of Mundo Nick, Nick's South American subsidiary. The season was eventually aired in North America by Nicktoons TV, several years after the cancellation of the show (and several years after the show proved to be a hit on DVD).
** Like above, the 3rd season of ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' premiered in Latin America (and Germany) a couple years before coming on Nicktoons Network. Thankfully, a fan had put up the episodes up in both Spanish and English after their premieres.
** Several episodes from the final season of ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'' aired in other countries long before they aired in the US, one airing for the first time in 2006, at least two years after the show finished production. Others would not air in the US until ''2016'', and one more episode still has yet to air, along with the series finale, which was released straight to DVD in the US but aired everywhere else like the other special episodes. All of these episodes could easily be watched on [=YouTube=] and were even available on iTunes at one time.
** Several of the later episodes of ''WesternAnimation/{{Monsuno}}'' season 1 were shown in Canada first, and Japan was a few episodes ahead when season 2 debuted in America.
** Two episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' ("Toads and Tiaras" and "Two Boys and a Baby") aired first in Italy, while four ("Racing Hearts", "Missed Connection", "Driving Ambition" and "Predict Ability") aired in Australia first. Additionally, Amazon released the special "Tripped!" on the day it was supposed to air even after Nick pulled it from that day's lineup, which also happened to "The Loudest Thanksgiving" 2 days before airing.
** The final 9 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBeaks'' which included the series finale aired on Nicktoons in the US in late December 2017 however the episodes first aired in Africa in July.
** ''WesternAnimation/WelcomeToTheWayne'' aired, as of this writing, almost all of the first season in a block over several weeks in the United Kingdom while America had not even reached the halfway mark.
* Like Nicktoons above, Creator/CartoonNetwork also has problems with this. To name examples...
** Several episodes of ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' premiered in Europe and South America weeks and sometimes months before its US premiere.
** Most episodes from the second half of the final season of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' premiered in Europe three months before they aired in the US, although the series finale did have its premiere in the States first.
** The series finale of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' was aired in the Philippines about a month before it was aired in the United States. The same occurred with some of the episodes.
** ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' finally aired out TheMovie finale in the United States in November 2009, a year after it was completed and months after it was shown in Scandinavia, Australia, and Southeast Asia. The show also has the distinction of being a Canadian production that never aired past its first season in its home country for well over a decade, until Cartoon Network created a channel in the region.
** Several episodes from the fourth season of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' premiered in Canada months before they saw the light of day in the US.
** Two Season 3 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' aired in France several weeks before the United States.
** The last few Season 3 episodes[[note]]"The Downer", "The Egg", "The Triangle", and "The Money", specifically[[/note]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' aired in Continental Europe and Australia months before America and Britain. Most episodes of Season 4 aired in the Netherlands and Belgium before the rest of the world.
*** "The Egg" has got to be the most pre-empted episode of those four Season 3 episodes. It didn't get to air in America until after Season 4 ''had already started''.
*** Much earlier, "The Helmet" from Season 1 aired in Latin America/Brazil in early January 2012. In the US and UK, it only aired 2 months later.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' had a similar problem, with episodes airing in Canada and Europe a month or more before their premiere in the US. The series finale was actually available on Bittorrent sites a full ''six months'' before it (finally) aired in America, due to this.
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' suffered from various iterations of this during its second season. The US and Canadian broadcasts used to be on the same day, but when the US airing of the second episode of the second season was delayed a week (for the ''Ben 10: Alien Force'' premiere), Canada consistently remained one episode ahead for the remainder of the season.
** Although the second season did not reach UK screens until some months after its North American debut, when it did, a new episode was aired ''every weekday'', instead of just once a week. Consequently, the ninth, tenth, and eleventh episodes of the season premiered on UK television, nearly one, two, and three weeks before their Canadian airing respectively. However, the two-part season finale, "A Bridge Too Close", did ''not'' air in the UK until a month or two later, allowing Canada and America to air it first.
** Much more infuriatingly, the entire second half of the season, from episode seven onwards, premiered in ''Dubai'' – dubbed into Arabic, no less – successfully ruining a lot of the surprises that were in store.
* Season 2 of ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' had two episodes criticizing Creator/{{BET}} pulled by Creator/AdultSwim in the US, but aired on Canada's Creator/{{Teletoon}} without incident. Those two episodes ended up on DVD.
* The first 7 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' 's 3rd season premiered in the US before they aired in Italy. And that same season, the 4Kids dub of the last 7 eps aired on YTV in Canada a few months before America (thus alerting viewers, for example, to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sVxBKXk9PI this filler scene]] being cut).
** And while we're on the subject of Winx, its "other" English dub is produced in Canada with Canadian voices, and YTV ''still'' ended up airing the 4K dub. Not Canadian enough for them eh?
** Most English-speaking countries have yet to see the post-S3 movie (though Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s acquisition of the property may change this), even though one of its soundtrack songs was performed by Australian Natalie Imbruglia.
** And for the most bizarre example, the first country to get the 2nd movie in a regular run (after a premiere at the Rome film festival) is Russia… a country where the 1st film was apparently released direct to DVD.
* The second season of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' has been aired in Australia on March 1st, and was finished before the US even premiered it.
** Canada and Bulgaria (of all places) also got it before the US.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' did this in a very tortoise-and-hare way. In France, the entirety of season 2 was played at a rate of one episode per week. In the US, it started playing shortly after it did in France, but then power-housed through half the season in three weeks, then stopped and let France catch up, and then started just showing random episodes whenever the hell it felt like it until finishing off with a mini-marathon and a season finale. It did manage to beat France to the punch, though. Later seasons weren't shown nearly as randomly though.
* ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen'' was first aired on Brazil than any other country. The first (and eventually, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork only]]) season ended there even before it debuted in the US.
* Season 3 of ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'' got aired in several Scandinavian countries before it came to the states. By the time it did, most of the fandom knew about the spoilers and was keeping quiet for the sake of everybody else.
* A bizarre and possibly literal example: ''[[Franchise/DisneyFairies Tinker Bell]] and the Lost Treasure'' was theatrically released in Latin America in September 2009, ahead of its direct-to-DVD release in the states in late October.
** And it had a short run at the Disney-owned El Capitan Theatre in LA, for the sole purpose of making it eligible for Oscar submission.
** ''The Great Fairy Rescue'' was released in New Zealand and Australia cinemas in August 2010. Disney also ran it at the El Capitan for two weeks in September.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'''s various markets have such vastly different schedules and airing orders for the second half of the first season that a given episode's first showing may be in the US, UK, Canada, or somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere, without any sort of pattern.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'''s episode "Wizard of Odd", aired in Australia first, long before it aired in the US.
** Also, the episode "The Secret to Success" was first aired in Latin America, The UK, and Russia.
** "We Call It Maze", "Ladies and Gentlemen, He is Max Modem", "Split Personality", and "Brain Drain" all aired in Latin America before the US. The former also aired in Taiwan and Brazil.
** A handful of episodes like "Minor Monogram" and "Perry the Actorpus" aired on a Chilean television station before they aired in America.
** For some reason, a few episodes of the 3rd season aired 1st in Philippine terrestrial TV- ''dubbed in Filipino''.
** Several later Season 4 episodes surfaced in Ukraine first. "Act Your Age" premiered in New Zealand first, against the wishes of the show's creators.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'''s Season 2 premier which crossed over with the ''Phineas and Ferb'' above aired on August 10, 2018, in Japan, in English, within hours of the American release date being [[ScheduleSlip finally]] confirmed as January 2019.
** In addition, the same episode, "The Phineas and Ferb Effect" aired in September 2018 in Germany, Poland, Spain, The UK, and Ireland.
** India aired the first half of Season 2 throughout November 2018.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' had an up and down time with the last half of its second season, sometimes having a month long gap between episodes. It was hinted that this came about from Lucas changing some aspects of some episodes at the last second. The UK and Canada began airing some episodes several weeks before the US. During the end-run it became only a week's difference between UK and US. The US only managed to get the season finale aired a day before the UK by airing it as the second half of a two-part evening event.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama World Tour''. A Canadian show that premiered the first episode in Canada, then decided to wait until September to air the next ones. In the mean time, the USA aired a new episode once a week. Then came Australia, who aired ''five'' new episodes a week.
** For comparison, Australia started 18 days later than Canada, and finished 8 days before Canada aired episode 2.
** USA gets even further ahead of Canada (although not as bad as Australia) by having the Aftermath episodes online exclusive.
** ''Revenge of the Island'' had its world premiere in France, while ''Pahkitew Island'' was first shown in Italy. The USA was the first country to broadcast ''The Ridonculous Race''.
* The ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Partial Terms of Endearment" was dropped from the US run (because of its abortion-related storyline) and first aired in the UK. It eventually became a DVD exclusive episode in the US.
* The final 5 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SagwaTheChineseSiameseCat'' aired in Asia on their Disney Channel a whopping 6 months before it aired in the US. The cause of this is unknown, PBS was for some reason holding the episode backs to premiere in the fall, and CBC was doing the same.
* Season 4 of the 2003/2007 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' series aired in Europe a whole two months before it was aired in Asia. [[ScrewedByTheNetwork It has never aired in the US]], and while it received direct-to-video releases in the region, the episodes where released at an extremely slow pace – the last of the episodes of Season 4 was only finally released in 2012, over 5 years after the episodes initially aired in Europe.
* At least one season of ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' managed to air in New Zealand on WNTV long before it was screened in the States, resulting in many fanvids with 'wntv' watermarks in the corner.
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', as aired on Creator/TheHub, usually has long breaks between every 5 episodes or so, supposedly due to time-consuming animation. However, after episode 20, "Partners," aired in the US, the break proceeded as planned for a couple of weeks until suddenly, with no prior warning, Canada's Teletoon network started airing the remaining episodes of season 1. According to online schedules, the US was not supposed to begin showing this batch of episodes until nearly ''2 months'' after the premier of "Partners". However, as of episode 23, it seems as though someone at either the Hub or Teletoon caught wind of the situation, and what was supposed to be the premiere of episode 24 in Canada a week later was abruptly replaced at the last minute by a rerun.
** And then Singapore aired episode 24 a few days before either network.
*** Not just episode 24, but episodes 25 and 26. Needless to say, everyone knew the twist at the end long before the episodes aired in the US.
*** It happened again with the first three episodes of Season 3 being leaked early, and now Internet Streaming sites are leaking Predacons Rising a full three weeks before it's supposed to air on TV. How the latter was accomplished is unknown at time of writing.
* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' episodes in Turkish ''and'' Portuguese were at one point about three episodes ahead of the U.S. airings. Dubbed. Considering Creator/CartoonNetwork had had the show for over a year and ''still'' hadn't finished airing the first season, that was insult on top of injury for the fanbase. It was all after a six-month hiatus after nine episodes, and a three-month hiatus after nine more. To repeat: the ''international dubs'' actually surpassed the country of origin's airing schedule.
* ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'' had 26 episodes produced in all for its first ([[ScrewedByTheNetwork and only]]) season. Only 11 episodes actually aired in the US on Cartoon Network before it quietly vanished while epsisodes 12-13 premiered on DVD and Blu-ray. New Zealand aired up to episode 17, and episode 18 premiered on DVD in the UK. Episodes 19-26 will make their premieres in the US, but on Creator/AdultSwim's Creator/{{Toonami}} block instead of Cartoon Network. At least the whole season—er... series will finally be run at last.
* In Canada, ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' first season was shown in [[{{Rerun}} reruns]] for ''a whole year''. After that, all later seasons were shown one after the other, even showing the Season 4 finale before the U.S. did.
** The spin-off ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' has had quite a few examples:
*** "Animals: It's Just A Word" was leaked online two weeks before it was supposed to air.
*** "The Fourth Wall" aired in the UK first on Creator/{{CITV}} three days before it aired in the United States.
*** In an odd case of a holiday episode being shown before a holiday, "More of the Same", a New Year's episode, was aired six months before said holiday.
*** The episodes "Mo' Money Mo' Problems" and "TV Knight 3" aired in France a month before the US.
*** "The Fight" aired on the Latin American feed a day before it aired in the USA.
*** "Little Elvis" aired in the UK a month before it aired in the US.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "In the Name of the Grandfather" premiered in Ireland and the United Kingdom a few days before it aired in the U.S. Justified, however, as the episode is set in Ireland, it premiered on St. Patrick's Day, and this was a special occurrence as part of its 20th season.
* ''WesternAnimation/GodTheDevilAndBob'' was cancelled in the US after four episodes after network executives received numerous complaints from MoralGuardians on religious grounds. The entire series was shown in Ireland, the UK and parts of Latin America.
* All 5 season two episodes of ''Nina Needs to Go!'' were first shown in Korea in December of 2014, nearly 2 and a half months before their American premiere and 4 months before they aired in their native land of the UK.
* The second and third seasons of ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'' were specifically made for an American audience [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff due to its huge popularity in the country]], so they aired first there. They showed up a year later in the home country of the show, two weeks before Mumfie was thrown into ''[[WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine Storytime with Thomas]]'', which only aired one segment of the show in its time slot as opposed to two, and one month before it premiered in the country where some of the episodes were made, Canada.
* The ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Equestria Girls]]'' series is interesting in that the severity of the trope increases with time.
** Very briefly, one ("Shake Your Tail!") of the first eight ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'' shorts was accidentally uploaded — in English — in the '''German''' Equestria Girls channel. It was quickly taken down, and officially released roughly a month after the fact.
** The [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames next film in the series]] got hit twice with this:
*** Its five shorts were released one new each week on the official Equestria Girls Youtube Channels. Except that the European Spanish Equestria Girls channel screwed up and, on the second week, released not only the second short, but '''all the remaining ones at once''' (dubbed, but still). They were quickly taken down and restored at appropriate times, but obviously not before everyone had a copy and screenshots all over the web.
*** A downplayed case, but the Canadian Family Channel aired the film quite a few hours before Discovery Family on the same day — and they aired it uncut, too (the American broadcast was EditedForSyndication).
** The [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree fourth film]] gets an spectacular example: Discovery Kids Brasil aired the film an entire week before its American debut... With an English SAP track. And it wasn't EditedForSyndication, either. Cue spoilers, spoilers everywhere.
** The next major installment, for a change, was [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsMagicalMovieNight a set of three 22-minute specials]] announced for Summer 2017, and each airing on Discovery Family on June 24th, July 1st and July 6th, respectively. Poland aired them '''an entire 40 days earlier''' (May 14th, May 21st, May 28th) and Discovery Kids Mexico aired the first one eight days before Discovery Family (June 17th).
*** The morning after it was announced that the first special will be aired early in Mexico with an English audio track, ALL 3 SPECIALS WERE LEAKED IN ENGLISH.
** Two shorts of the ''Summertime Shorts'' block, the music videos "Mad Twience" and "Get the Show on the Road", were leaked in Russia in March 2017 by the person who performed the songs. These eventually aired on Discovery Family on July 30 and August 27, respectively.
* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E9TheFaultInOurCutieMarks "The Fault in Our Cutie Marks"]] aired in Poland three days before its official release in the United States. The episode being repeatedly pushed back and airing ''way'' OutOfOrder in the U.S. probably had something to do with it.
** Speaking of, the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E24TopBolt final]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 three]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E26ToWhereAndBackAgainPart2 episodes]] of Season 6 aired on Tiny Pop in the United Kingdom prior to the US.
** And now with the start of Season 7, after only airing the first episode a week after its U.S. premiere, Treehouse in Canada suddenly started airing two episodes per-weekend on Saturday and Sunday mornings (starting with "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E2AllBottledUp All Bottled Up]]", "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E3AFlurryOfEmotions A Flurry of Emotions]]"). The following week, after having "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E4RockSolidFriendship Rock Solid Friendship]]" on the same day as the U.S. airing, Canada overtook the U.S. the next day and ran all the way until the mid-season hiatus that came after the eleventh episode ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E11NotAskingForTrouble Not Asking for Trouble]]", which was aired in Canada on May 21 and the US on June 17). While this looked to be the end of it (going on the premise that there simply weren't any episodes produced after the 11th episode that could be aired early), it was not as the ''Tuesday'' (June 20) after the US airdate of the 11th episode, Boomerang Australia aired the 12th episode ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E12DiscordantHarmony Discordant Harmony]]") and the 13th ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E13ThePerfectPear The Perfect Pear]]") on June 21st. At the time neither of these episodes had a US airdate (but then aired together on August 5th).
*** This was then followed by the [[OutOfOrder 20th]] episode ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E18AHealthOfInformation A Health of Information]]") airing in Russia on September 18, ahead of the US airdate of September 23, and episodes 24, 25 and 26 ("[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E24UncommonBond Uncommon Bond]]", "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E25ShadowPlayPart1 Shadow Play Part 1]]" and "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E26ShadowPlayPart2 Part 2]]"), being scheduled to air in US on October 21st and 28th respectively, were [[EpicFail accidentally uploaded to Youtube when Hasbro used the wrong file]].
** All the season 8 episodes from "The Hearth's Warming Club" to the season finale aired in places like Australia, Germany, and Sweden a good six weeks before the US.
* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': A few days before the U.S. airing, both "The Hero" and "The Birthday Boy" aired in France early, and had also went online. In mid-2014, Latin America had also gotten a handful of episodes early, and much more infamously in the fandom, "The Liar" and "The Stray" had aired in the Netherlands a couple weeks early and both went online.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'': The ''show itself'' had premiered its first short in the Netherlands two weeks early. (Even a few days before it went online the U.S.)
** Thanks to the show's air dates trying to sync a bit with the release of the LEGO sets, unlike other shows on Cartoon Network the premiere dates in the U.S. to international television often rival each other.
** A half-hour special, in the format of "Mixed Up Special", with most of the first season's shorts packed in, which one could consider to be some kind of catch-up special, didn't even air anywhere except India. Because of that, nothing is known about it. No one even knew it existed until around a year after somebody posted a low-quality ripping of it on Dailymotion.
* The revival of ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'', which was chiefly an American cartoon series, initially aired from 2006 to 2007 on the British television channel [=CITV=]. The series did eventually air in America on [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] in 2008, but was pulled from the schedule before every episode had a chance to air. While the revival was said to resume airing on [[Creator/{{Toonzai}} TheCW4Kids]] in fall 2009, it never came to pass.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' had this happen once a season: The last seven episodes of season one (20-26) and final 18 episodes of season two (35-52) aired in other countries (such as Australia) a number of months before they did in America.
* The two-part finale of WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown premiered in the United Kingdom in March 2006. Brazil aired it in April. The two-part finale eventually aired in the United States in May.
* Similar to the ''Friday Night Lights'' example where episodes were available early on a certain cable provider, those who had access to the Watch Disney Junior app (now Disney NOW) could watch ''WesternAnimation/GoldieAndBear'', ''WesternAnimation/SheriffCalliesWildWest'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'' 2 months early.
** This treatment also happened to episodes which get their release dates delayed. For example, the ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'' episode "First Responders To The Rescue" and the ''WesternAnimation/FancyNancy'' episode "Camp Fancy; Nancy's Vanity D'Art", both of which were delayed due to hurricanes, were available on Disney NOW before they actually premiered on TV.
** Rival network Creator/PBSKids also utilizes the "channel-related app premiere" method, with them using it to premiere ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', ''WesternAnimation/PinkaliciousAndPeterrific'' and ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'', as well as some new episodes of their other shows that have yet to air on TV.
* Season 5 of ''Literature/{{Franklin}}'' was for some reason broadcasted in several countries worldwide (notably, Malaysia) 2 months before it was finally aired on Noggin in the US.
* Due to its [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff international popularity]], episodes of ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' sometimes air English dubs in North America before before the original versions even air in its home country of France.
* The most ridiculous case of this trope is the first half of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'', which was aired in the US only after ''every other country'' (except Japan and a few others) aired it.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Supernoobs}}'' aired in the United Kingdom and the United States, long before it could be released in Canada.
* ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'' debuted on Creator/DisneyXD several months before it did on Creator/{{Teletoon}}, despite being a creation of the latter network. It had an even earlier premiere in France on France 4 than either, although France does co-produce the show with Canada.
* At San Diego Comic Con in the summer of 1993, three ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' shorts were screened months before their premieres on TV: "Yakko's World", "No Pain, No Painting" and "Potty Emergency", the latter of which had some scenes that were edited from the initial television airing. The first short also aired [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdltkhFz3cY as a promo]] a few weeks before the show's debut on Fox Kids, and the second short was also played at Worldcon. Two years later, the short "The Big Wrap Party Tonight" aired as a promo [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn-Nq7R-t4w on New Year's Eve]] two months before it premiered but with the lyrics changed.
** Like "Yakko's World", the "Brainstem" segment from ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' aired on several WB affiliates, but with Brain's line at the end being altered to "Now, let's get this show on the road. Yes!"
* The 2nd half of season 2 of ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' aired in the UK before it aired in the US. New episodes were aired daily which caused POP to air the remaining episodes in about a week.
** Poland got the final five shorts long before any other country.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016'' had its premiere in almost every country before the U.S. in October 2016[[note]]Some regions, like Canada and Latin America, actually waited until the U.S. premiered it[[/note]], while the U.S. didn’t get it until April the next year. In February 2018 for example, while the U.S. had only just started Season 2, the UK was already ~16 episodes ahead!
** Actually averted with the episodes "All Koiled Up", "Double Hex", "Ye Olde Laser Duel" and "Ben Again and Again", which premiered in the US before anywhere else!
* Despite being a Canadian show produced for TV Ontario's children's block, ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' first aired in the United States two weeks before its home country showed it. In fact, a majority of the episodes of the show aired in the U.S. first before Canada got them, with the exception of several holiday-themed episodes (which Nick decided to hold back. However, Nick did air "Pups Save Christmas" before Canada did), "Pups Save A Pool Day" and "Circus Pup Formers" (the latter two due to Nick taking a hiatus in between new episodes).
* The ''WesternAnimation/PhantomInvestigators'' episodes "Skating The Plank", "From Egypt, With Love", "Haunted Dreams", and all episodes from "The Fifth P.I." onward all debuted in Canada on Creator/{{Teletoon}} first- however they never ended up airing in America at all due to Creator/KidsWB cancelling the show after six episodes had aired (and OutOfOrder, to boot) due to not having enough male viewers.
* On the first episode of Creator/{{ITV}}'s 1992 SaturdayMorningKidsShow ''What's Up, Doc?'' (which, as the title suggests, was very Creator/WarnerBros based), they told the audience they'd be getting to see the new show ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' before its American premiere. Which was true, but it was a matter of ''hours''. (And since it was a weekly slot, they fell behind immediately.)
* ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'': The Season 2 episodes "Easter Wolfies" to "Romeo's Action Toys" aired in India in November of 2018 before airing in the United States.
* The series ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreet'' is set to premiere in the U.S in March 2019. However, to date, the show has premiered in almost the entirety of Europe and Africa in December 2018.
* Even though ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheThreeCaballeros'' is an American produced series, it first came out on the Disney Life app in the Philippines on June 9, 2018, and has yet to be released in America. Its only other known air date at the moment is on Disney Channel Asia on January 1, 2019.
* The ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' episodes "The Missing Links Of Moorshire" and "[=McMystery=] At [=McDuck=] Manor" aired in Scandinavia on March 21 and 28, 2018 before their US air dates of May 18 and 25.
* The ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor'' episode "Science Unfair" first aired in the UK on February 10, 2018, which is 2 weeks before the US.
* The ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' episodes that will air in the US in March 2019 came out in Germany in February.
* The ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' episodes "The Birthday Wish" and "Royal School Fair" respectively premiered in Spain and the UK on December 22, 2017 and March 30, 2018, before their US release dates of January 5 and May 15, 2018 .
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' first premiered in the UK on November 26, 2016 while the US first aired it on December 16, 2016, where by that point, 13 episodes already aired. This spread throughout the rest of the first half of the season, and the last 7 episodes, all premiering in Poland and Australia before the US.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Stoked}}'' managed to air the entirety of the series in Australia in 2011, a year and a half before Canada finished the show, with the confirmation that the series was over after two season and 52 episodes overall.
* ''WesternAnimation/SuperDuperSumos'' premiered in the UK in September 2001 on BBC One, seven months before its US debut on Nickelodeon.
* The ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'' episode "The Other Big Engine; Grudge Match" was posted online by the U.S. Creator/NickJr the day before its' North American premiere, and a week before its' UK premiere.
** Several episodes of the same season also aired in Mexico before they did in the United States or United Kingdom due to [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff the popularity of]] ''Big World! Big Adventures!'' in that country.
