Race Across The World series 6 will kick off in April

BBC’s Race Across the World is an epic adventure that sees two-person teams make their way across countries with no smartphone and limited resources – and we now know when series 6 will premiere.

In 2025, series 5 visited Asia, beginning at The Great Wall of China, and ending in Kanniyakumari, the southernmost tip of India. The route was a gruelling 14,000km. Along the way, teams battled public transport woes, money troubles and challenging environments.

The show is a brilliant way to get a glimpse of parts of the world that may not have been on your radar, and think about the way you’d tackle a journey on a shoestring budget. But when will the BBC hit return? We’ve rounded up everything we know so far. �
