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 program remaining from the 2010-11 season of freshman syndicated shows. On February 26, 2014, America's Court was renewed through the 2015–16 season. [2] On September 14, 2020, the series received a seven year renewal commitment. [3]

By the 2025–26 television season, America's Court had made it to its 16th season. This makes Kevin Ross the second longest-serving African American and Black court show arbitrator after Judge Greg Mathis, whose Judge Mathis series ran for 24 seasons.
