Overview

  • The tournament, which premiered Tuesday, Aug. 25, airs Tuesdays through Fridays on ABC with next‑day streaming on Hulu and Disney+ and select live‑TV streaming services.
  • Six top former contestants — Yogesh Raut, Juveria Zaheer, Victoria Groce, Paolo Pasco, Andrew He and Long Nguyen — make up the field, several of whom are past Masters finalists or recent tournament winners.
  • The event runs nine hour‑long episodes with two half‑hour games per episode and uses match points to advance players, where a game win is worth 3 points and second place earns 1 point.
  • The champion will receive $500,000, the Masters trophy, and trigger a $100,000 charity donation, and all competitors will take home prize money from the tournament.
  • Host Ken Jennings says the season feels like a 'class reunion' and producers have raised clue difficulty; early quarterfinal play on Aug. 25 produced wins for Paolo Pasco and Victoria Groce that sent them valuable match points.
