Channel 9 has given viewers an early Christmas gift, confirming when the next season of Married at First Sight Australia will return to screens.
The ratings juggernaut is locked in for an early February launch on Channel 9, once the Australian Open wraps up and the network once again clears the runway for what is bound to again be the biggest reality tv series of the year.
The 2026 season marks the show’s 13th outing, continuing its reign as one of the most talked about formats on Australian television.

A fresh group of hopeful singles from around the country will take the now-familiar leap of faith, walking down the aisle to marry a stranger as the experiment delivers its trademark mix of romance, conflict and headline-making moments.
Dinner Parties and Commitment Ceremonies are once again set to drive the weekly conversation, with plenty of fireworks promised along the way.
Season 13 also brings new twists, including a new chapter of Revelations Week, while Final Test Week returns with an added layer designed to push couples towards make-or-break decisions late in the experiment.
The expert trio of Alessandra Rampolla, John Aiken and Mel Schilling are back to guide the matches, while the broader MAFS universe continues to expand, with the Nine owned streamer Stan set to host a weekly companion series MAFS: After The Dinner Party following each Dinner Party.
Produced by Endemol Shine Australia for the Nine Network, Married at First Sight Australia 2026 is once again positioned as Channel 9’s major post-summer play, ready to dominate ratings and social feeds as the year’s reality cycle properly kicks off.
