The Amazing Race 38
Updated: 12/16/2025, 8:48:43 PM Wikipedia source
The Amazing Race 38 (also known as The Amazing Race: European Adventure) is the thirty-eighth season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured 13 teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around Europe to win US$1,000,000. Each team also includes at least one former Big Brother houseguest. Filming took place between March 17 and April 9, 2025. This season visited two continents and nine countries during twelve legs. Starting in Hoorn, racers traveled through the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Greece, Italy, and France, before returning to the United States and finishing in New York City, New York. New elements introduced this season include a U-Turn penalty vote for a non-eliminated team. Elements of the show that returned for this season include the pre-starting line task, the international starting line, gifting a second Express Pass to another team, and the Hazard. The season premiered on CBS on September 25, 2025, and concluded on December 10, 2025. Brothers and entrepreneurs Jas and Jag Bains were the winners of this season, becoming the first Sikh-Punjabi to win the series. Dating couple Kyland Young and Taylor Hale finished in second place, and brothers Joseph and Adam Abdin finished in third place.
