Season 34.
The first season to start the US race outside the United States — twelve teams launched from Munich, the widest field the show had run since its fifteenth outing.
The race finally left home to start: a Munich launch, a twelve-team field, and a Mega Leg structure that lets a single leg run two hours.
A rhythm worth tracking.
The first season to start the US race outside the United States. Twelve teams launched from Munich, the widest field since Season 15, then ran through Austria, Italy, France, Spain, and Iceland before a Jordan stretch and a Nashville finish. The production folded in Mega Legs, single legs that span two episodes rather than one, which stretches the familiar leg-to-leg rhythm. The international opening and the wider cast give the early route a texture standard hometown-start seasons cannot manufacture.
The #34 slot.

4 moments, no spoilers.
- Format · the Munich start
The first time the US version began its route outside the United States. The opening leg's foreign launch reshapes the early-leg texture.
- Format · the Mega Leg
Certain legs span two episodes rather than one, stretching a single leg's tasks across a longer stretch of road.
- Casting · the wider field
Twelve teams of two, the largest field since Season 15 — watch how the broader cast fills the opening European legs.
- Route · Europe to Jordan
Austria, Italy, France, Spain, and Iceland before a Jordan stretch and a Nashville finish — a route that leans heavily on Europe early.
