The BBC has confirmed when fans can expect the MasterChef 2026 final to air - and it's just weeks away.
The final, which will see one contestant claim the title as the 2026 champion, will air on Friday 5 June at 8pm on BBC One.
The show returned for its latest season in April, welcoming fans to a new era as fresh judges Grace Dent and Anna Haugh took over the reins following Gregg Wallace's and John Torode's exits.
Wallace and Torode were axed as presenters back in July 2025, with the BBC then confirming that it would air season 21 - the series filmed in 2024 which features both hosts - for the sake of the cooks who had taken part in the process.
Food critic Dent and Irish chef and restaurateur Haugh were then announced as the new hosts in September, with Dent - who has been a regular guest judge on MasterChef for the past decade - saying: "I'm over the moon to be coming back to the MasterChef kitchen and unearthing what culinary skills people have been cooking up behind closed doors."
She continued: "It's a joy to be working with Anna, who brings all her incredible experience to the table. I am in for such a treat with this series, I can't wait to get started."
Haugh added: "I'm delighted to be back on MasterChef and judging alongside the wonderful Grace Dent, whose writing and wit I've admired for years.
"MasterChef has long inspired and resonated with cooks in home kitchens and of course in my industry."
She added: "I can't wait to get into the studio for what will be a great competition."
