A world first twist and $250,000 prize: Everything we know about The Amazing Race Australia 2022.

Last season, The Amazing Race Australia contestants raced around different locations in Australia due to difficulties with the international border (read: COVID told us to stay home). 

However, this year 20 teams will be travelling across six continents including Turkey, Greece, Belize, Morocco, Mexico and Colombia. Yes, international travel is back!

And in a world first, two separate groups of 10 teams will race - one in Melbourne, the other in Sydney - and they have no knowledge of the other team. Each group will compete across Morocco before they meet up in the second leg.

Trust us, we are as excited as you are.
