The Amazing Race 2025: Who won Season 37?

The Amazing Race season 37 has officially crowned its champions—and it was a photo finish that fans won’t soon forget. After a season packed with surprising twists, emotional breakthroughs, and massive comebacks, we finally got the winner in what CBS teased as “one of the closest races to the mat” in the show’s history.

The May 15, 2025, finale episode wrapped up a globe-trotting journey that took 14 teams through nine countries, 18 cities, and more than 29,000 miles. The final leg saw the top three teams fly business class from Portugal back to the U.S. for a grueling final challenge through the streets of Miami, Florida. Let’s see who won the Amazing Race 2025.

Who won The Amazing Race 2025?

Carson and Jack, the self-proclaimed nerdy gamer duo from Brooklyn, were the first to reach the final mat, securing the season win and the $1 million prize.

“What more could you want? I feel like the luckiest person in the world,” Jack said after the win.

Despite a rough patch midseason—most notably their near-elimination in Bulgaria—Carson and Jack fought their way back into the lead with relentless positivity and sharp navigation skills. Their resurgence saw them win the final three legs of the race, including the Miami finale.

Final Rankings: How the Teams Finished

• 1st Place: Carson McCalley (28) & Jack Dodge (27)- Best Friends, Game Streamers – Brooklyn, NY

Despite being underestimated early on, the duo proved they were not to be taken lightly. Their strategic gameplay, tight friendship, and impressive comeback arc made them not just winners but fan favorites.

• 2nd Place: Han Nguyen (26) & Holden Nguyen (22)- Siblings – Los Gatos, CA

The youngest team in the race, Han and Holden started off rocky but found their footing just in time. Their perseverance earned them a surprise place in the finale, where they ultimately finished second after struggling with a water-based challenge.

• 3rd Place: Jonathan Towns (42) & Ana Towns (35)- Married Parents – Pomona, CA

The couple brought intensity and resilience to the competition, winning multiple legs and even surviving a U-Turn vote. But internal pressure, particularly Jonathan’s self-criticism and emotional clashes with Ana, caught up to them in the final stretch.

• Eliminated Before Finale: Alyssa Borden & Josiah Borden- Married Nurse Anesthetists – Philadelphia, PA

Consistent performers all season, the couple stumbled hard in Portugal due to navigational issues and a car accident, making them the last team eliminated before the final leg.

A Season of Twists, Drama, and big Moves

This was the largest cast ever for The Amazing Race, and the producers didn’t hold back on new challenges. The show mixed classic tasks with fresh curveballs, including new game mechanics like the “Driver’s Seat” power and unpredictable non-elimination legs.

Fan predictions throughout the season leaned heavily toward Carson and Jack, especially after several viewers noticed they were receiving a “winners edit.” Some Redditors speculated early on that the duo's podcast setup—frequently mentioned in the show—hinted at a post-win upgrade.

What’s next for The Amazing Race?

CBS has confirmed that The Amazing Race will return for Season 38 in Fall 2025, marking the first time since 2022 that the show will air two seasons in a single year. With such a thrilling season just wrapped, expectations for the next installment are already sky-high.

The Amazing Race season 37 is now streaming on CBS & Paramount+.
