Race Across the World 2026: Renewal, Potential Release Date & Route
BBC’s Race Across the World is a thrilling show that follows pairs as they navigate foreign lands with limited resources and no smartphones. The recent conclusion of the Celebrity edition has left fans eagerly anticipating the return of the main series. In 2025, the show took contestants on a challenging 14,000km journey from The Great Wall of China to Kanniyakumari, India.
The series is known for its focus on public transport challenges, budget constraints, and exploring unique destinations. As fans eagerly await the return of the show, many are wondering when Series 6 will air. While the exact route for the upcoming season has not been confirmed by BBC, potential destinations could include the USA, Africa, and Oceania, as these regions have not yet been explored in previous series.
Previous seasons of Race Across the World have covered a wide range of locations, from London to Marina Bay, Mexico City to Ushuaia, and Vancouver to St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The show has also ventured to Marrakesh, Sapporo, and Belém, among other locations. With so many regions left unvisited, the possibilities for future routes are endless.
Fans can expect Series 6 of Race Across the World to air around April 2026, following the pattern of previous seasons. As applications for the new season have already closed, viewers can look forward to another exciting adventure filled with challenges, cultural experiences, and unexpected twists. Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming season and get ready to embark on a journey unlike any other.
