University Challenge

Get ready, quiz fans! The wait for the next clash of the country's brightest minds is almost over. While the BBC is keeping the exact start date under wraps for now, all signs point to a triumphant return for University Challenge in the very near future! Following the thrilling conclusion of the last series in April 2024, production is well underway for the next academic year of quizzing. Based on the show's long-standing and reliable broadcast schedule, we can make a highly educated guess. The previous season, Amol Rajan's fantastic debut as host, kicked off in mid-July. Looking back at previous years confirms this pattern, with new seasons consistently launching in the late summer. Therefore, we can confidently anticipate that the gongs will start sounding for the 56th series in late summer 2024, most likely landing in our schedules in either July or August. The new cohort of students is preparing, and Amol Rajan is ready to take the helm for his second series. The stage is set for another season of fiendish starters for ten!
