Let’s be honest: you’re probably reading this because you typed “Race Across The World TV time” into Google while sitting on the toilet. I respect that. It’s our generation’s version of checking the newspaper listings.
For the most recent series (the one set in Central and South America), the pattern was a Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One. But don’t mark your calendar in permanent ink. The BBC loves a schedule shuffle. It’s like they have a tiny gremlin in charge of the EPG.
Your best bet? Set a Google alert. Or, and this is the old-school way, tell your partner to remind you. They will forget. You will miss the first ten minutes. You will then spend the rest of the episode asking, “Wait, which team is the one that hates each other?”

You’ll also notice a sudden spike in “what to pack for a budget trip” articles. That’s the cultural water-mark. When your aunt starts posting travel tips on Facebook, the new season is imminent.
