For once, Rick and Morty is trying something almost normal — and naturally, it’s still bound to go sideways. Season 9 Episode 9, “Salute Your Morts,” airs this weekend, and it splits the Smith family into two separate storylines at once.
When Does Rick and Morty Episode 9 Release?
The episode airs on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at 11:00 PM ET / 8:00 PM PT on Adult Swim in the US. It then hits streaming on Hulu and HBO Max on Monday, July 20, 2026, a day after its TV premiere.

What’s the Episode About?
Summer and Morty head off to camp, while Beth and Jerry stay home alone — a simple, family-split premise the show has used before to explore characters without needing Rick and Morty at the center of every scene. Naturally, “normal” rarely stays normal for long in this universe, and both storylines are expected to spiral in their own chaotic direction.
This follows episode 8, “Rickuiem Mort a Dream,” where the Sympathid parasite altered how its host perceived others — Rick removed it from Morty and apologized, though whether Morty’s empathy fully returned remains unclear heading into episode 9.
What’s Next For The Season
With just one episode left after this, Season 9 wraps up on July 26, 2026, closing out a 10-episode run. Adult Swim has already confirmed Rick and Morty is renewed well beyond this season, alongside a President Curtis spinoff and a feature-length movie currently in development.
