Originally airing on BBC Two, Race Across the World transitioned to BBC One with its third season, and now fans can tune in for the new season every Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, ensuring an hour-long intense display of competition and strategy.

For the upcoming season, viewers can follow the journeys of ten diverse contestants, including pairs from Hertfordshire, Yorkshire, Barking, Birmingham, Kent, and Rutland. Each duo brings unique dynamics and motivations as they embark on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, testing their limits and camaraderie along the way.

With each episode releasing weekly on Wednesdays, fans can expect suspense, drama, and unexpected twists as the teams traverse Eastern Asia, conquering challenges and forming unforgettable memories. The show’s format ensures that audiences are glued to their screens, witnessing the emotional highs and lows of the participants as they strive to emerge victorious in this ultimate race across continents.
