The beginning of 2026 brought with it the beginning of a brand new series of The Masked Singer for UK audiences. The UK installment of the long-running global TV franchise returned to ITV for its seventh series, bringing back judges Mo Gilligan, Maya Jama, Jonathan Ross, and of course Davina McCall. The quartet have been joined by some major guest panelists this year, including Anne-Marie, Olly Murs, Matt Lucas, Freddie Flintoff, Katherine Ryan, and Little Mix's Perrie Edwards. And now, eight weeks into its run, we have reached the Grand Final.
There are just three contestants left at this point, as Moth, Conkers, and Toastie all compete to become the winner of the veteran series. And after last week's double elimination saw the unmaskings of Sloth (Ben Fogle) and Can of Worms (JLS' Marvin Humes), it's clear that anything can happen in this series.
But what time can you expect it to all go down? Here's the start time, preview, and everything else you need to know.
The Masked Singer Final start time (and how long the episode is)
The Grand Final of The Masked Singer airs on ITV at 7:00 p.m. GMT, while also being available to stream on ITVX at the same time. Being that this is the final, it will run for 1 hour and 30 minutes, wrapping up at 8:30 p.m. GMT.
Each of the finalists will take to the stage to sing new songs while the judges do their best to guess who could be behind each of the masks. The audience will then vote to save their favourites and progress them to the final stage of the competition and put them in with a chance of winning the whole series.
It's been a competitive series this time around, with a number of the big reveals being genuinely shocking. Kate Nash's early elimination caught viewers off-guard, as did that of Strictly judge Anton Du Beke, who showcased that he has a beautiful singing voice - moving the arena when he performed his exit song.
With that in mind, you can bet that audiences will be eager to find out who are under those three remaining masks. Host Joel Dommett will be presenting one of the final three with that Golden Mask Trophy by the end of the evening, but which one of Conkers, Toastie, and Moth will make it to the end?
The Masked Singer remains a popular global brand ever since its launch in 2015 (the UK version commenced airing in 2020) as audiences all around the world are thrilled by the concept. From trying to pinpoint where you heard those vocals before to reacting to some of the judges' outlandish guesses, the show is always a good time and, just as this series has once again proven, it's a great way to spend your Saturday night in the UK.
So sit down, relax and enjoy one more entertaining evening of singing, guessing, and what are undoubtedly going to be some jaw-dropping reveals, as The Masked Singer UK concludes its seventh season.
