CBS’s The Amazing Race Season 35 is finally here. Fans can gear up to watch host Phil Keoghan guide newly partnered teams to race worldwide for the $1 million prize. While recent seasons of the show were adjusted for coronavirus (COVID-19), some fan-favorite aspects of pre-pandemic seasons will return. So, how can viewers catch The Amazing Race Season 35 premiere? Here’s what to know.

‘The Amazing Race’ Season 35 premiere date and time

The Amazing Race Season 35 premiere date is Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023, at 9:30 p.m. ET. The new season premieres after Survivor Season 45 premieres at 8 p.m. ET.

Survivor and The Amazing Race will have 90-minute episodes throughout the entire season. This decision was likely made in light of the writer’s and actor’s strikes causing delays for other network TV shows. According to executive producers Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri, the longer episodes “allow us to show more of each city we travel to, especially the people and the culture, plus we get to know our contestants on a deeper level and their relationships with each other,” according to Entertainment Weekly.

The season premiere opens in Los Angeles, where the cast members have to cross a tightrope on the roof of the Biltmore Hotel. After that, the competitors head to new locations, like Slovenia, Sweden, India, Ireland, Thailand, Germany, and finally, Washington State for the finish line.
