When does The Amazing Race 2020 start?
The premiere of The Amazing Race 32 is set to air on Wednesday, October 14 at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT. Originally set to premiere as a two-hour special in May, the premiere was then moved into October to fill in the gaps left in the schedule by scripted shows not being able to go back in production in time for early fall.
Now, this two-hour premiere has been split back into two regular hour-long episodes, airing on October 14 and 21 respectively.
The first episode marks a milestone for the CBS show, as the show’s contestants have now traveled a total of a million miles across the 30-plus seasons. The first episode will also mark the first time the show has filmed in Trinidad and Tobago, the contestant’s first stop after setting off from Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl.
In future episodes, set to air on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT, the contestants will visit countries including Brazil, Colombia, India, Kazakhstan and The Philippines.
