When Will The Amazing Race Return In 2021
Ah, The Amazing Race. That glorious globetrotting game show where teams sprint through airports, eat questionable delicacies, and try not to yell at each other too much. It’s the kind of chaotic TV we all secretly crave. But the big question on everyone's minds is: Where has it been?
The Great Race Delay
The show, like so many others, got caught in the travel restrictions and safety concerns of 2020. Picture trying to coordinate flights and challenges in a world where borders were closing faster than you can say "detour!" A logistical nightmare, to say the least.
Season 33 actually started filming before everything went sideways. They managed to film a few episodes, then had to hit the brakes and send everyone home. Talk about a cliffhanger in real life!

Hope on the Horizon?
But don't despair, armchair travelers! There's good news brewing. After a lengthy pause, filming for Season 33 did resume. That's right, those suitcases are getting dusted off, passports are being checked, and teams are prepping for more frantic fun.
CBS has announced that Season 33 of The Amazing Race will finally air in January 5, 2022. That means we're getting a very very delayed, very special New Year's treat!
What to Expect (Besides the Unexpected)
So, what can we expect from this resurrected season? Well, for starters, probably a slightly different race than originally planned. Given the changing travel landscape, it's a safe bet that some adjustments have been made.
There will probably be some new teams as some could not return. Also, expect plenty of hand sanitizer. Remember to cheer them on from your couch!
The Thrill of the Unknown
Part of what makes The Amazing Race so addictive is the sheer unpredictability of it all. We love seeing contestants struggle with language barriers, navigate unfamiliar cultures, and make hilariously bad decisions under pressure.
Will they miss their flight? Will they accidentally eat something truly disgusting? Will they manage to navigate a foreign city with only a tattered map and a questionable sense of direction? We can't wait to find out!
Get Ready to Race (From Your Couch)
Mark your calendars, set your DVRs, and stock up on your favorite snacks. The Amazing Race is almost back, and it's going to be a wild ride. Prepare to yell at your TV, laugh until your sides hurt, and maybe even learn a thing or two about the world along the way.
And remember, no matter how frustrating the challenges get, at least you're not the one trying to herd sheep in Mongolia or decipher ancient hieroglyphics in Egypt. From the comfort of our living room, we can all agree that The Amazing Race is amazing entertainment.

And thanks to The Amazing Race, we can at least skim a few more chapters.
