Fox announced today that MasterChef has been renewed for two more seasons: 16 & 17. The news comes less than a month after the cooking competition crowned its 15th winner. The series has continued to be a strong performer for the network, ranking as the summer's #1 cooking series among adults 18-49. It was also Fox's most watched summer show of 2025.

"MasterChef remains a standout series for FOX, drawing its dedicated fanbase back season after season to witness amateur cooks transform into culinary masters," said Yasmin Rawji, Executive Vice President Unscripted, Fox Entertainment. "Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Tiffany Derry provide culinary expertise, mentorship and heart and we can't wait to see what they, as well as our partners at Endemol Shine North America, have in store for Seasons 16 and 17 of MasterChef."

"Securing a two-season pickup for Seasons 16 and 17 is huge news and a testament to the unstoppable momentum of MasterChef. A massive thank you to FOX for always opening doors and inspiring new creative ideas to keep the series fun and fresh," said Michael Heyerman, SVP Unscripted Original Series, Endemol Shine North America & Executive Producer. "We have cooked up two absolutely great themes for the new season that fans are going to love. We're thrilled to be back in the kitchen with Gordon, Joe, and Tiffany, building on the incredible chemistry and high standards they set last season!"
