MAFS fans all around, take note: Married At First Sight UK 2025 is coming to screens very, very soon.
Anyone who is a stranger to the premise of the global TV phenomenon (seriously, where have you been?) it sees contestants who are looking for love marry their on-screen match, you guessed it, at first sight – without meeting them beforehand.
“Bursting with butterflies, our new brides and new grooms will first meet at the altar to make their vows in stunning wedding ceremonies,” Channel 4’s synopsis for the new series reads. “They’ll take of leap of faith to find love as they jet off on luxury honeymoons and start a bold new chapter in their lives. They’ll move in together, attend dinner parties with fellow couples, and reunite at commitment ceremonies where every couple will lift the lid on how they really feel in their relationship.”
We also know that relationship experts and matchmakers Paul C. Brunson, Melanie Schilling and Charlene Douglas will be joining once again to help the married couples navigate their new relationship.
So when will Married At First Sight 2025 start? Here’s what we know so far.

When does MAFS UK 2025 start?
The start date for 2025’s rendition of Married At First Sight UK hasn’t yet been confirmed – but we can hazard what we believe are pretty accurate guesses based on previous series start dates.
For instance, series eight aired on Monday 18 September 2023 and series nine started on Monday 16 September 2024 – so we predict that MAFS UK 2025 will premiere on Monday 15 September of this year.
When a start date is confirmed, we will update you ASAP.
Who are the Married at First Sight UK 2025 experts?
Paul C Brunson, Charlene Douglas and Mel Schilling will be the experts helping the contestants through this year’s series. You may recognise Paul from Celebs Go Dating, which he works on with Anna Williamson and Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, while Mel Schilling is a MAFS Australia legend and is a specialist in human behaviour and performance, working alongside experts John Aiken and sexologist Alessandra Rampolla.
How long will Married at First Sight UK 2025 air for?
Again, we can hazard guesses based on previous seasons, which have ran from mid September until mid November, with reunion episodes airing around 13-14 November. So we expect the same thing to happen this year, with the series consisting of roughly 36 episodes.
