It’s official: Another season of The Amazing Race is coming to CBS. Just over a month after the Season 38 finale on December 10, the network revealed that TAR is part of its 2026 programming slate.
The news comes after host Phil Keoghan previously confirmed that there will be a Season 39 of the epic race around the world. Season 38 wrapped up with Big Brother winner Jag Bains taking home another victory alongside brother Jas Bains.
Scroll down for everything we know about the new season of The Amazing Race.
When does The Amazing Race Season 39 premiere?
There is no premiere date for Season 39 just yet. However, CBS confirmed that it will be coming in 2026, and it’s likely going to be a fall premiere.
Some years, two seasons of The Amazing Race air on CBS, which was the case in 2025. However, the new show America’s Culinary Cup will be taking The Amazing Race’s usual slot in the network’s spring schedule, which means TAR will be pushed.
The season has already finished filming, with production taking place in September and October 2025, so it will be ready to go in the fall.
Who is in The Amazing Race Season 39 cast?
The cast list has not been announced yet. However, Keoghan confirmed that, unlike Season 38, which was a cast of Big Brother alum paired up with their loved ones, the show will not consist of former reality stars in its next season.
Of the possibility of doing another season with established stars, Keoghan told Parade, “Never say never, I guess, but I think there are so many other new things we have in the works that I think we should try first.”
Where was Season 39 of The Amazing Race filmed?
The race reportedly took contestants to Canada, Spain, Morocco, Albania, Sri Lanka, Laos, Australia, and New Zealand.
“They say, ‘Luck is the Residue of Design,’” Keoghan teased. “And Season 39 is a perfect example of that. Captivating cast, some new twists which gave us the desired results of changing things up, great weather in destinations where it really made a difference, some unpredictable challenge moments and a special episode I took particular interest in ended with a special personal moment in my life.”
