It’s official - Married At First Sight Australia 2026 is heading to our screens tonight (9 March) and we've got all the info on when and where to watch it.
Season 13 has already kicked off Down Under on Channel 9 and 9Now (it premiered on Monday 2nd February), and if early reports are anything to go by, it’s set to be the "most volatile" series yet. There’ve already been plenty of clips doing the rounds on social media and, judging by Mel and Luke’s wedding alone, we’re in for chaos.
This year promises even more twists and turns, including the debut of 'Revelations Week', while last year’s 'Final Test Week' is back - this time with a "powerful twist" that producers say is designed to "challenge and spark make-or-break decisions for the couples."
