How to Watch MasterChef Season 12: Back to Win Online From Anywhere

By Lore Apostol / May 25, 2022

MasterChef is returning for its twelfth season, which will be an all-star season where contestants will be returning for a second chance to win. The best part is that we will be able to watch it all online quite easily. We have all the information you may need on your favorite competitive cooking reality TV show, including the release date, so let's see when, where, and how to watch MasterChef Season 12: Back to Win online from anywhere in the world.

MasterChef will bring back All-Star chefs for MasterChef: Back to Win - Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez, and Joe Bastianich will return as judges, with Emeril Lagasse as a guest judge. To date, only 11 have been crowned, but there were just as many who didn't make the cut. Now, 20 of those will have another chance to win an apron - and two contestants from MasterChef Junior will be competing alongside the adults.

Home cooks serve up their signature dishes to the judges. With MasterChef: Back To Win, the series reopens the door to some of the most memorable and talented cooks in the competition's history, including two MasterChef Junior cooks now competing as adults. This season is more exciting than ever with a surprise-filled journey that takes the contestants on the trip of a lifetime, as 20 All-Stars will get a second chance to prove they have what it takes. Ramsay and the judges will serve as mentors to these skilled home chefs as they compete to claim the title of MasterChef and the $250,000 grand prize.

The MasterChef contestants will face the challenge of feeding hungry members of the Coast Guard, demonstrate their skills in a vegan dish challenge, travel to Horsetown USA (Norco, CA) to feed cowboys and compete in the fan-favorite restaurant takeover challenge at Wolfgang Puck's Spago. Only one home cook will ultimately claim the MasterChef title, the $250,000 grand prize, and a complete state-of-the-art kitchen from VIKING.

MasterChef Season 12: Back to Win premieres on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, and you will be able to see the first episode at 8 PM ET on Fox. This show usually has 18 episodes, so we expect Season 12 to have 18 episodes as well, and we will get one each Wednesday at the same hour.

How to Watch MasterChef Season 12 Online From Anywhere

You can easily watch content online through a subscription with a live TV and streaming platform from your home country. However, if you travel abroad or even to some other stages, you will need to use a VPN subscription to watch MasterChef Season 12 online from anywhere on top of the streaming service. This is required because these platforms are geo-restricted, and a VPN lets you change your IP address to make it seem like you are back home and thus bypass the blockade.

If you don't know what tool to choose, we recommend you go for ExpressVPN because this is one of the best tools on the market right now. So if you want to unblock most of the streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, fuboTV, and more, you can try ExpressVPN for 30 days RISK-FREE since there's a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee in place. Besides being extremely easy to use, it offers thousands of servers all over the world, great speed, and strong encryption to protect your data online.

To take advantage of the refund guarantee and of a great discount at the same time, you should go ahead and subscribe to ExpressVPN (49% discount and 3 months FREE) on their website and select the annual plan. It will only take a few minutes of your time to create an account, so fill in your details, pay, and download and install the app for your device or system. When MasterChef Season 12 new episodes air, select a server located back home and turn on the VPN, then open the streaming platform you are subscribed to and start watching.

How to Watch MasterChef Season 12 Online in the US

Season 12 of the US MasterChef show is hosted on the Fox network, and this means you can also watch the channel online through several live TV services such as Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV, Sling TV, and also on some streaming platforms. Let's see what your options are right now.

How to watch MasterChef Season 12 without cable:

One of the best options for you is the Hulu + Live TV service, where you can watch Fox starting at $69.99 per month. When you subscribe, you get Disney Plus and ESPN Plus for free as a deal bundle right now beside the famous On-Demand streaming library and several live TV channels, so you get content from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, sports, and more.

If you're a sports fan, you can also check fuboTV since it offers several sports networks and also includes Fox in all of its plans. Subscription prices start at $69.99 per month and have the same fee no matter whether you pick the monthly or quarterly variant. You also get a 7-day free trial on fuboTV.

Sling TV is also a great option when it comes to prices. Plans start at $35 per month, and you will find Fox in two of its three available packs (the ones that include Blue). However, Fox is available in select markets, so you should check the availability in your area before subscribing. There's a 50% discount for the first month at Sling TV right now, and you also have several add-ons and extras to customize your subscription.

The channel list on YouTube TV includes Fox. This service lets you watch live TV from more than 85 channels for $54.99 per month for the first three months, then $64.99 a month, and you get a 7-day free trial. You also get NFL, NBA, and MLB networks and several attractive perks and customization options such as premium channels and add-ons.

Another option is the Fox Now app that lets you stream full episodes of the show and catch primetime FOX shows with a TV provider login - and you can even restart Live TV to watch from the beginning. If you can wait, the episodes will become available on the Fox website soon after their premiere (returning FOX shows unlock eight days after airing). Besides signing in with your TV provider credentials, you can create an account and get 1-hour preview access.

Since all of the platforms mentioned above have geo-restrictions in place, you may need to use a reliable VPN if you're traveling. Just set it to a server located at home and run it at the same time as the streaming platform in order to lift the geo-blockades.

How to Watch MasterChef Season 12 Online in Canada

If you live in Canada, you can watch the US MasterChef on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET starting May 25 on CTV, and you can also stream the show's episodes on the CTV website and the CTV app, as announced by Bell Media. The website and the app let you watch the episodes on-demand after they air after you log in with your cable provider credentials.

Traveling away from Canada? Remember that all streaming platforms have geo-restrictions in place, so we recommend you use a powerful VPN to unblock these services and let you watch the show while abroad. Just select a server from back home for this to work.

How to Watch MasterChef Season 12 Online in the UK

Fans who live in the UK will be able to use the Fox Now app to watch Fox content (you can download it from the App Store or Play Store). Signing in with your TV provider credentials gets you access to full episodes of Fox shows live and on-demand, and you can even restart live TV to watch from the beginning.

Traveling away from the UK? Remember that the Fox app is geo-restricted in most countries, so you will need to use a capable VPN to lift geo-blockades if you find your access is bared abroad. Just select a server from back home when turning on the tool.

Can I Watch MasterChef Season 12 in Australia?

If you live in Australia, watching MasterChef Season 12 and other Fox shows will be an issue. We have no information regarding where you could watch the latest season when it premieres - it's not available on platforms like Amazon Prime, Foxtel Now, Stan, Binge, or Telstra TV, and no other service acquired the rights for it. Sorry, Australia!
