When Does The Masked Singer Season 15 Start?
Fox has set the premiere for Wednesday, January 6, 2027, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The date came with Fox’s winter 2027 schedule on November 11, 2026, which three trade and TV outlets reported the same way. Season 15 is the only new run of the show in the 2026-27 TV season, so there is no fall edition this year.
That puts the premiere almost exactly a year after Season 14, which also started in early January and ended with its finale on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. Fox has not given an episode count or a finale date for Season 15 yet.
What Is Changing in Season 15
The biggest change is behind the camera. When Fox renewed the show in May 2026, it moved production to Eureka Productions, a company owned by Fremantle. Fox Entertainment Studios had made the show in-house before that. Reports at the time said the production was likely to leave Los Angeles for the East Coast, but Fox has not confirmed where Season 15 was filmed, so we will add it when it does.
Nothing official has been said about new rules, theme nights or a change to the format. Ticket listings and fan reports have floated theme nights, but none of that is confirmed by Fox, so it is left out here.
Who Is on the Panel and Who Hosts Season 15?
The whole Season 14 team is back. Fox shared the Season 15 key art on November 11 on the show’s official Instagram, posted jointly with all five of them: Nick Cannon as host, with Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Rita Ora and Robin Thicke on the panel. That answers a question left open in May, when reports on the new production company said it was not yet clear whether the on-camera line-up would change.
How Season 14 Ended
Ashlee Simpson won Season 14 as Galaxy Girl, and her sister Jessica Simpson joined her on stage for the unmasking. The finale aired on April 1, 2026.
| Place | Costume | Celebrity |
| Winner | Galaxy Girl | Ashlee Simpson |
| Runner-up | Pugcasso | Phillip Phillips |
| Third | Cat Witch | Kylie Cantrall |
| Fourth | Crane | Normani |
Phillip Phillips, the American Idol winner, came second. Normani was the first of the final four to be unmasked on finale night. For a look at how theme nights and panels worked in an earlier run, our Season 10 guide is still up.
