MasterChef Australia 2026 starts on Sunday, April 19, 2026, airing 7:00–7:30 pm on Channel 10 and continuing on the four-night schedule through the week. This schedule places the premiere on April 19 with episodes then airing Sunday through Wednesday at prime time. For viewing, you can also catch up later on 10Play, Channel 10’s streaming platform.[1][3][9]
Notes for viewers in Italy (Figino, Lombardy): if you’re watching from abroad, check local streaming availability and any regional licensing; Australian content often requires a VPN or an authorized international distribution option if available in your region.[1]
If you’d like, I can compile a quick viewing plan for the first week (episodes, times, and guest appearances) based on the latest schedules.
