How to watch The Amazing Race season 35

With The Amazing Race season 35 wrapped up, viewers who need to catch up with the season can do so on Paramount Plus, where all the episodes are available to stream on-demand.

The Amazing Race premise

The basic premise of The Amazing Race is not changing after more than 20 years on TV. The show pits multiple teams of two against each other in a race around the globe. At each location, they must complete different tasks that combine the area's culture and navigate the region in order to reach a final destination. If you are the last team to arrive at the checkpoint, then you are eliminated. The first team to make it all the way to the finish line is the ultimate winner.

After a couple of seasons of private travels between locations for the teams due to the pandemic, The Amazing Race season 35 will require their teams to fly commercial (as they've done throughout most of its run), as well as features like no non-elimination legs, Express Pass and U-Turn.

The Amazing Race season 35 host

There has only been one host for the first 34 seasons of The Amazing Race, and that won't change with season 35. Phil Keoghan is back as the host of The Amazing Race, a job that has earned him four Emmy nominations for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program.
