Can you believe that by the end of this year we would have watched three different series of Married At First Sight?
Back in February we had the MAFS UK reunion (that was all about the MAFS 2023 and MAFS 2024 cast), then we had MAFS Australia 2025, and now we've got series 10 of Married At First Sight UK.
So, we've had a deep dive into everything we know so far about MAFS UK 2025...
When did MAFS UK 2025 start?
Married At First Sight UK returned on Sunday 21 September at 9pm on E4. Yes, that's right, SUNDAY.

Although the show has previously run Monday - Thursday, this year it will be shown Sunday - Wednesday. Why? We do not know, we're just happy that it's back.
