Amazing Race Australia Sidelined Until 2027

The Amazing Race Australia will not be featured in Channel Ten's 2026 program schedule, a decision confirmed by network representatives. The network cited significant challenges with travel logistics as a primary reason for the postponement. This unexpected hiatus comes after the show was heavily promoted as a key offering for 2026. Insiders revealed that casting had already commenced for the planned 2026 season, adding to the surprise of the halt.

Host Beau Ryan expressed understanding for the delay, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the show's quality, including correct country selections and casting. The 2025 season of The Amazing Race Australia garnered positive ratings, averaging 813,000 national viewers, a 7% increase from the prior year, with its grand finale attracting 1.1 million viewers. Australian actors and brothers Stephen and Bernard Curry were crowned the winners of the 2025 season.

While the show is taking a year-long break, there is optimism for its return in 2027. The decision to rest the series in 2026 is attributed to the extensive planning required for global travel. Fans can anticipate a potential comeback for the show in 2027, aiming for an even bigger and better production.
