A premiere date has officially been announced for The Masked Singer Season 15. The show changed to a once-a-year format for 2026, meaning there was no fall season. Fans will be happy to learn that the new competition is kicking off in just a couple of months.
The Masked Singer Announces Season 15 Premiere Date
Earlier this week, the official Masked Singer account posted the exciting news that Season 15 of the show will premiere on FOX on Wednesday, January 6, 2027. New episodes of the show will be available for fans to stream the next day on Hulu.
Nick Cannon will be back to host the new competition, as Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Rita Ora, and Robin Thicke return to the panel to guess which celebrities are under the masks. The costumes for this season have yet to be revealed.
In the past, The Masked Singer has aired two seasons per year. However, this year only featured one season, which premiered in January 2026 and continued into April. Singer Ashlee Simpson (aka Galaxy Girl) was named the Season 14 winner in the grand finale, with American Idol alum Phillip Phillips (aka Pugcasso) finishing in second place.
Season 15 marks the first season of The Masked Singer to be filmed in New Jersey instead of California. The new filming location was revealed earlier this year, and was reportedly due to production tax incentives, as well as the possibility of recruiting new East Coast talent for the show with the proximity to New York.
Filming for the new season took place this fall. The show is pre-taped, meaning the results are determined by the show’s panelists and studio audience, rather than votes from viewers at home. As celebrities are eliminated from the competition, their identities are finally revealed.
Remember to mark your calendars for Season 15 of The Masked Singer, premiering January 6 on FOX.
