The start date for Married at First Sight Australia 2026 has been confirmed!
While it only feels like yesterday that Married at First Sight‘s Jacqui and Clint stormed into the 2025 reunion and shook the entire cast, it is in fact time to do it all over again as a new season of MAFS Australia has been announced for the start of 2026.
Yes, while Jacqui and Ryan have been airing out their grievances in court, and Awhina and Billy have been playing ‘will-they-won’t-they’ with the public, a whole new cast of Aussies have been taking on the ultimate experiment of love.
Matched by relationship experts John Aiken, Mel Schilling, and Alessandra Rampolla, a group of 18 hopeful singles have been paired up and thrown into a relationship that began on their wedding day.
So, when exactly does the fun begin for viewers? Here’s when MAFS Australia 2026 starts to air on TV in the UK and Australia.
