''Garfield and Friends'' has been syndicated on television around the world, beginning in the late 1980s and remaining on air in present day. In [[Latin America]], it played on [[Cartoon Network (Latin America)|Cartoon Network]] from 1993 to 2005, on [[Boomerang (Latin America)|Boomerang]] from 2005 to 2008, on [[Warner Channel]] from 1998 to 2002, and on [[Tooncast]] from 2008 to 2016. Currently, all four of these networks have lost the rights to the show. Televisa's [[XHGC-TV|Canal 5]] also played the show for many years, from the mid-1990s to early 2000s.

In [[Australia]], ''Garfield and Friends'' began syndication on [[Network Ten]] from 1988 to 1995. For the duration of its original run, it aired on cable television on [[Nickelodeon (Australia and New Zealand)|Nickelodeon]]. Most recently it played on [[FOX8]] from 2004 to 2006. But it came back and it was played on [[Eleven (Australian TV channel)]] from 2011 to 2014.

The [[United Kingdom]] and the [[United States]] remain the highest syndicators of the show. In the UK, it appeared on [[CITV]] from 1989 through 2002 (10 minutes per episode), on [[Sky1]] from 1998 to 2002 (also 10 minutes per episode), and on [[Boomerang (UK & Ireland)|Boomerang]] from 2003 to 2006 with Season 1 and 2 only. It also appeared on [[The Children's Channel]] from 1993 to 1996 in reruns.

In [[Ireland]], ''Garfield and Friends'' aired on [[RTÉ TWO]] Monday to Friday at 6pm (followed by ''[[Home and Away]]''); it replaced RTÉ teen magazine programme ''[[Jo Maxi]]'' and was eventually replaced by ''[[The Simpsons]]''.

In the [[United States]], the series appeared in syndication on local stations, distributed by [[The Program Exchange]], between 1993 and 2006 (with broadcast stations running it into 2001).<ref name=":7">{{Cite web |title=Garfield and Friends |url=http://programexchange.com/programDetails.asp?programID=10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061231213828/http://programexchange.com/programDetails.asp?programID=10 |archive-date=2006-12-31 |access-date=2021-01-08 |website=[[The Program Exchange]]}}</ref> Only 73 of the 121 episodes were acquired by The Program Exchange. This was due to the producers selling syndication rights when the show was still on air and CBS wanting to keep the rights for certain episodes. Since the 73-episode syndication package performed well enough on stations already airing the show, acquiring the later episodes were deemed unnecessary.<ref name=":0" /> This syndication package also aired on [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]], [[TNT (American TV network)|TNT]], and [[Cartoon Network]] from 1995 to 1997, and [[Nickelodeon]] from 1997 to 2000. In 2001, it appeared on [[Fox Family Channel]] (and later, ABC Family) until January 2002. [[Toon Disney]] aired it from 2003 to 2005. [[Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang]] carried it from 2006 to 2007, and again from 2019 to 2021. As of November 2018, Boomerang's [[subscription video on demand]] site offers over 50 episodes of the series.<ref name="Whyte">{{Cite web |last=Whyte |first=Alexandra |date=October 25, 2018 |title=Boomerang Pounces on Garfield and Friends |url=https://kidscreen.com/2018/10/25/boomerang-pounces-on-garfield-and-friends/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200422123357/https://kidscreen.com/2018/10/25/boomerang-pounces-on-garfield-and-friends/ |archive-date=2020-04-22 |access-date=2020-07-13 |website=Kidscreen}}</ref> [[Starz Encore]] also aired it on its family channel.
