The Amazing Race 36 is the thirty-sixth season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it features thirteen teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the Americas to win US$1,000,000. This season visited two continents and eight countries and traveled over 11,711 miles (18,847 km) during eleven legs. Starting in Puerto Vallarta, racers traveled through Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Barbados, and the Dominican Republic before returning to the United States and finishing in Philadelphia. Filmed during the waning days of the COVID-19 pandemic global health emergency and prior to the 35th aired season, this season features chartered air travel rather than commercial air travel and other accommodations for the safety of the racers. The season premiered on CBS on March 13, 2024 and concluded on May 15, 2024.
