If 2026’s instalment follows the same pattern as previous years, we’d expect to see series 6 of Race Across the World air sometime around April 2026. If you can’t wait until then, never fear.

Race Across the World airs on BBC One and is available on iPlayer. Digital Spy's first print magazine is here! Buy British Comedy Legends in newsagents or online, now priced at just £3.99.
