Is ‘The Masked Singer’ Renewed for Season 15?
As of now, FOX has not officially announced whether The Masked Singer has been renewed for season 15. The network has also not publicly confirmed whether the show will return later in 2026 or follow a different schedule moving forward.
Why the Schedule Changed
For its entire run up, The Masked Singer aired two seasons per calendar year—one in the spring and one in the fall. That pattern ran from 2019 through 2024.
However, in 2025, FOX shifted its strategy and aired only one season, which ran from February to May. The show then took a break and did not return until season 14 premiered in early 2026.

At the time, FOX executives said the decision was intentional.
“A lot of people forget that Masked Singer was actually the first show back during Covid,” FOX Entertainment CEO Rob Wade told reporters in May 2025 (via Deadline).
“My point is it was incredibly taxing on that crew and that cast and they’ve done a phenomenal job… It just felt like the right time to give the show and the very, very hardworking people involved in it a little bit of breathing space just to regroup creatively.”
Wade added that the network has not ruled out returning to two seasons per year in the future.
“But it’s not intended at the moment just to become a one season a year. But we’ll make a decision on that as it comes up,” said the executive.
Could There Be Another ‘Masked Singer’ Season in 2026?
Because FOX has not confirmed a renewal yet, it’s unclear whether The Masked Singer will return for another cycle later in 2026. In the past, renewal announcements have sometimes come before the finale airs or shortly after the season ends
That means a season 15 announcement could still happen soon, even if it hasn’t been confirmed yet.
While FOX has not made an official announcement, The Masked Singer remains one of the network’s most consistent unscripted performers.
The show has been a staple of FOX’s lineup since its debut in 2019 and continues to draw a dedicated audience. Although the first few seasons averaged between 6 and 8 million viewers, all seasons since season 7 have averaged under 4 million viewers per episode, which is obviously a large fall-off but the show has stayed relatively consistent over those seven seasons, so there’s no reason to think the show won’t be renewed by FOX.
That track record suggests the series is still a strong candidate for renewal, even as the network adjusts its scheduling strategy.
