A timeline for Season 35 of Wheel of Fortune, which will air in first-run from September 11, 2017 through June 8, 2018.

Note: During the season (September-June), this page is generally updated Monday-Friday around 8:00 PM Eastern, so spoilers may be present for the most recently-aired episode. It is also updated at times from mid-July to mid-September as details of the new season are revealed.

Second Note: Any below information regarding episodes that have not yet aired is preliminary and subject to change, with months added as info is released about them. Further, please do not guess and do not add anything to this section past the most recently-aired episode unless it is confirmed.

Known Tapings

 * Six weeks of shows will be taped at Culver City on July 27-28, August 10-11, and August 24-25.
 * The July 27 tapings will be Teacher's Week.
 * The July 28 tapings will be Weekend Escapes.

Season Changes

 * A new category called "What Are You Wearing?" is introduced.
 * The "decade" categories, last used in a single episode of Season 32, return to a standard rotation.
 * $5K Every Day is retired. Instead, if the $10,000 Mystery Wedge is claimed and won, a Wheel Watchers Club member also wins $10,000.
 * The Bonus Round is changed to have the night's winner to pick a category from three choices before going to commercial at the end of the main game, similar to Wheel 2000 and The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime. When the contestant chooses his or her category, each one is shown on a category strip in blue, green, or purple, and the two unchosen categories have their strips "slide" into the one that is chosen.
 * The opening graphic features a representation of the old 1975-97 trilon board, with each trilon turning to show a historic clip before the "35th Anniversary" logo appears.

September 2017

 * September 11 is Teacher's Week, taped July 27; this is also the first taped week of the season.
 * After Round 1, the bumper features a quotation related to teaching or education, accompanied by a blue-tinted picture of the person who provided the quote.
 * On September 11:
 * Round 4 and the Bonus Round are What Are You Doing?
 * The Prize Puzzle offers a $10,392 trip to Jamaica.
 * After his final spin, Pat accidentally says that the consonant value is $1,900 instead of $1,650; an offstage voice can be heard correcting him, and the overhead shot of the Wheel is briefly seen again during this.
