Season 23

Eleven teams left Los Angeles into a twelve-leg autumn route through Chile, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Abu Dhabi, Indonesia, and Japan before an Alaskan finish line. CBS held the Sunday hour and the production delivered the closing run before the franchise's next pivot — the show running the format on muscle memory across familiar geographies and a few sharper detours. The casting leans on partner pairs and dating couples. Phil Keoghan paces the season at its established cadence.
