How to watch Amazing Race Australia 2025?

For Australian viewers, the 2025 season aired on Network 10 with episodes dropping weekly on Sunday evenings. Streaming access was available through Paramount Plus, which carried full seasons of the franchise—including Season 1 for those wanting a refresher before diving into the celebrity edition. International audiences could access the official Network 10 website or the Paramount Plus app, though availability varied by region.

Streaming platforms

Paramount Plus served as the primary streaming home for Amazing Race Australia 2025, offering on-demand episodes shortly after their broadcast premiere. First-time viewers looking to familiarise themselves with the format could also find Season 1 available on Prime Video, giving newcomers a straightforward entry point into the franchise.

Schedule and episodes

The season followed a weekly cadence, with new episodes airing every Sunday on Network 10. The premiere on September 8, 2025 kicked off 15 consecutive weeks of racing action, concluding with the finale on October 20, 2025. Viewers who missed live broadcasts could catch up via Paramount Plus the following day.

Who are the celebrities on The Amazing Race 2025?

The third celebrity edition of The Amazing Race Australia featured 13 star-studded teams, each pairing well-known personalities from Australian television, sport, and entertainment. The cast brought diverse backgrounds and fan bases, from reality TV veterans to Olympic athletes.

Cast reveal

The official cast announcement came through TV Blackbox, generating significant buzz among Australian television fans. Among the notable names were Below Deck’s Aesha Scott, Olympic swimmer Bronte Campbell, and comedian Gretal Killeen. The roster also included Network 10 soap opera stars Rob Mills and Georgie Tunny, who were already public about their engagement.

The upshot

The celebrity casting strategy clearly aimed at overlapping fan bases—pairing reality TV personalities with established soap opera actors ensured the season had built-in audience draw from multiple Network 10 properties.

Team pairings

Each team consisted of two celebrities, often with pre-existing personal or professional relationships. The Curry brothers represented one of the few sibling pairings, while other teams combined celebrities from different backgrounds. This approach created natural on-screen chemistry and rivalry dynamics that fueled viewer engagement throughout the season.

What is the Amazing Race Australia 2025 schedule?

The production timeline was notably compressed: filming ran from March 18, 2025 to April 14, 2025—a span of just under four weeks—but the aired season stretched across two months, giving audiences a weekly dramatic payoff.

Premiere and finale dates

The season premiered on September 8, 2025, with the Grand Finale airing on October 19, 2025. The official crowning of champions occurred the following day, October 20, 2025, when Network 10 confirmed Stephen and Bernard Curry as the winners. The finale location—a volcanic landscape near Mount Merapi in Indonesia—provided a dramatic backdrop for the season’s conclusion.

Episode airing

Each of the 15 legs received its own episode, with leg numbers corresponding roughly to elimination order. Leg 3 aired on September 10, 2025, marking the first major elimination when Bronte Campbell and her partner were sent home in Nepal. The final leg aired on October 20, 2025.

The paradox

The compressed filming-to-airing gap meant audiences experienced the race in near-real-time relative to when it was shot—a stark contrast to typical reality TV post-production timelines, which can stretch months.

Who won Amazing Race Australia 2025?

Stephen and Bernard Curry crossed the finish line first on October 20, 2025, becoming the first team to reach the final Pit Stop at Sumberwatu Heritage Resort in Sambirejo, Java. Their victory was decisive: the brothers solved the final puzzle quickly and leapfrogged rivals Rob Mills and Georgie Tunny, who had dominated earlier legs but stumbled at the critical moment.

Winners announcement

Network 10 officially announced the Curry brothers as champions, with Who Magazine publishing a detailed winner profile confirming their $100,000 prize would be donated to One in Five, a mental health research charity. The announcement came during the live finale broadcast, where the brothers were visibly emotional as host Beau Ryan confirmed their win.

Final standings

The final three teams represented the season’s most competitive pairings: Stephen and Bernard Curry took first place, Rob Mills and Georgie Tunny finished second, and Aesha Scott and Scott Dobson placed third. Notably, Rob and Georgie had won the most legs throughout the season but ultimately lost the race at the final hurdle—a narrative twist that resonated with audiences.

What are the Amazing Race Australia 2025 results?

Beyond the final podium, the full elimination order revealed several dramatic moments. The season featured an extraordinary combination of firsts: the first disqualification, the first evacuation, the first team quit, and six Speed Bump challenges—marking this as one of the most chaotic celebrity editions in the franchise’s history.

Key eliminations

Bronte Campbell and her partner became the first high-profile exit, eliminated in leg 3 during a Nepal challenge that aired September 10, 2025. Ed and Tiffany were the first team eliminated after incurring a penalty during a hay-stacking challenge in Nepal. Gretal Killeen and Epiphany Morgan survived until the 12th leg, ultimately finishing fifth overall.

What to watch

The leg-by-leg data reveals Rob and Georgie’s dominance was genuine—they won five legs (8, 10, 11, 13, and 14)—but the Curry brothers won strategically at legs 3, 6, 12, and 15, with the final leg proving decisive.

Dramatic moments

One of the season’s most alarming incidents involved a team being evacuated mid-challenge, while another team quit in the same leg—an unprecedented combination. Dom Di Tommaso and Marx Marsters suffered a 30-minute penalty during leg 5 that ultimately cost them their spot in the race, overtaking Lindy Klim’s team in the final stretch.
