On October 14, 2009, it was announced that America's Court would launch on broadcast and cable stations.[1] It subsequently debuted September 20, 2010. Aside from Access Hollywood Live, it is the only daytime syndicated program remaining from the 2010-11 season of freshman shows. On February 26, 2014, America's Court was renewed through the 2015–16 season.[2] On September 14, 2020, the series was renewed for seven additional years through 2027.[3]

Season 15 officially began September 9, 2024. Since 2023, America's Court is the longest running court show with the same judge of all the legal genre shows currently in production.
