On 28 January 2025, Dan Monaghan, Senior Vice President Content & Programming, revealed to TV Tonight that a third celebrity season was in production with the cast set to be revealed soon.

[6] This season was the first time that any version of The Amazing Race filmed in Uzbekistan with the show filming in Samarkand and Tersak from 24 March to 27 March.

On 18 April 2025, the Herald Sun reported that Ant & Dan were ejected following an off-camera verbal altercation with another team. According to the tabloid, Dan Middleton began yelling at Luke & "Sassy" Scott following a night out during a break in between legs. The event was witnessed by Brendan Fevola, who threatened to leave if Middleton was not removed for his misconduct.
