For the past six years, “The Masked Singer” has been a staple in our TV viewing experience. The anticipation of seeing judges like Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora trying to guess which celebrities are behind the elaborate costumes is unmatched. However, FOX recently announced a surprising break in the show’s airing schedule. Fans will have to wait until 2026 for Season 14 to premiere, a first for the show’s fall season format.
The upcoming season of “The Masked Singer” is set to premiere on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, with a special two-hour episode. The filming for Season 14 took place over the summer of 2025. The new season will feature a diverse range of costumes, including characters like 14 Karat Carrot, Calla Lily, Cat Witch, Crane, The Croissants, Eggplant, Galaxy Girl, Googly Eyes, Handyman, High Voltage, Le Who Who, Owl, Pangolin, Pugcasso, Queen Corgi, Scarab, Snow Cone, and Stingray.
The format for Season 14 of “The Masked Singer” has yet to be revealed, but in previous seasons, contestants were split into groups and competed within those groups until the final rounds. This unique format has contributed to the show’s success, along with the element of secrecy surrounding the contestants’ identities.
One of the reasons why fans love “The Masked Singer” is its innovative format, combining elements of different popular TV shows. The show has resonated with audiences, drawing them in with its addictive nature. The costumes for the show are custom-made and designed by Tim Chappel, who took over the design responsibilities in Season 8.
Throughout its run, “The Masked Singer” has garnered critical acclaim, winning two Emmy Awards for outstanding costume design in 2020 and 2021. The show has been nominated for a total of eight Emmy Awards, solidifying its place as a cultural phenomenon.
Fans can catch “The Masked Singer” online through the FOXNOW app with a cable login or on Hulu the day after it airs. While the show is not available on Netflix, viewers can still enjoy it through these streaming platforms. “The Masked Singer” airs Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
The allure of “The Masked Singer” lies in its ability to captivate viewers and keep them guessing. Stay tuned for more updates and news about Season 14 of the popular show as it premieres in 2026.
