The new teams will encounter game-changing twists in every episode, including the classic game pieces the Fast Forward and U-Turn &#8211; and the additions of new ones, such as a Fork in the Road, which Racers will confront on the first leg in Hong Kong. When teams arrive at the Fork in the Road, they will have to choose which direction and route they want to take to the Pit Stop, creating two parallel races where two teams will be eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This season 14 teams will embark on an unforgettable adventure,&#8221; said Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri, co-creators and executive producers of THE AMAZING RACE. &#8220;Traveling around the globe for a stop in Osaka, Japan, where they will experience a modern-day bullet train in a thriving city and then immerse themselves in a 12,000-year-old tradition, performing with a taiko drum group. They will feel the adrenaline rush of skydiving over Dubai&#8217;s breathtaking cityscape contrasted with another stop, for the first time on THE AMAZING RACE, in the countryside of Bulgaria, where they will participate in a traditional folk dance. Adding a new city this season, teams will visit the medieval village of Strasbourg, France, which will feel like stepping into a fairytale. For our season of surprises, there is no end to the drama, twists and turns until we see who the winners are!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following are the teams competing on the upcoming season of THE AMAZING RACE:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-93181\" src=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Alyssa-Borden.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Alyssa-Borden.webp 461w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Alyssa-Borden-200x300.webp 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/>Alyssa Borden (31, nurse anesthetist) and Josiah Borden (32, nurse anesthetist)<br \/>\nMarried nurse anesthetists<br \/>\nPhiladelphia<\/p><div id=\"morty-1307691456\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;

At every destination, each team must compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are completed will they learn of their next location. Teams that are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the contest progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning THE AMAZING RACE and the $1 million prize.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry Bruckheimer, Bertram van Munster, Elise Doganieri, Jonathan Littman, Phil Keoghan, Mark Vertullo and Patrick Cariaga are the executive producers. World Race Productions produces THE AMAZING RACE in association with Jerry Bruckheimer Television, ABC Studios, and Amazing Race Productions. THE AMAZING RACE was created by Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri.<\/p>\n<p>*Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers will have access to stream live via the live feed of their local CBS affiliate on the service, as well as on demand.
