How To Watch MasterChef Australia Season 17 Online
Watch MasterChef Australia Season 17: Preview
Foodies, help yourselves to another delectable edition of MasterChef Australia. There’ll be the usual pulse-raising dinner services and high-pressured culinary challenges, though this “Back to Win” edition offers something spicier as eliminated contestants from the show’s long run return to the kitchen in the hopes of winning the coveted MasterChef trophy. Catch episodes weekly with our guide below for how to watch MasterChef Australia Season 17 online and free on 10 Play from anywhere.
Waiting to put twenty-four MasterChef alumni through their paces are judges Andy Allen and Poh Ling Yeow, themselves both former contestants, plus food critic Sofia Levin and Michelin Star-awarded chef Jean-Christophe Novelli. And this “Back to Win” edition of the show – only the second in its sixteen-year history – guarantees that everyone will be feeling the pressure. As Allen told our gifted gastronomes, “Whether it be your first, second or third time […] it does change your life and you just want to make sure that you don’t take it for granted.’”
They may not have bagged the AU$250,000 prize the first (or even second) time around. But these former contestants have had impressive careers as restauranteurs, authors, and TV presenters since their MasterChef debut, so they’re all well-seasoned (ha!) in their own right. Some are now taking their third stab at the top spot, like perpetual runner up Laura Sharrard. Others, meanwhile, were competing for the first time and busting their chops in the kitchen less than a year ago. Yet all of them have the same insatiable hunger to prove themselves worthy of the MasterChef moniker.
Immediately throwing down the gauntlet is guest star Gordon Ramsey, who’ll test our contestants’ nerves when he runs the first week’s service challenge with them. There’ll then be an ongoing revolving door of celebrity chefs throughout the season’s run, including former Great Australian Bake Off judge Maggie Beer and the esteemed Peter Gilmore, with an after-dinner palette cleanser courtesy of the Sooshi Mango crew, who’ll be serving up “the ultimate culinary-meets-comedy fusion.”
Ready for another helping of this cooking competition? We’ve got you…sautéed! Just read on where our guide will explain how to watch MasterChef Australia Season 17 online and stream every episode free from anywhere in the world.

Can I watch MasterChef Australia Season 17 online in Canada?
Canadians hoping to watch MasterChef Australia Season 17 in line with those Down Under are out of luck.
While the latest installment of the show should eventually air on the CTV Life channel, and then be available to stream on CTV, expect a painfully long wait of well over a year before the show reaches Canada. But at least you can currently watch MasterChef Australia Seasons 1 through 15 via the CTV website or app while you wait (provided you have a Bell Media account).
Out of the country? Simply download a VPN to connect to your regional services from anywhere, just like you would back home.
Can I watch MasterChef Australia Season 17 online in the UK?
There’s no sign that MasterChef Australia Season 17 will be landing on UK shores anytime soon. However, until the latest episodes become available, you can still enjoy prior seasons of the competitive cooking show: either with an Amazon Prime Video subscription, or through streaming service U (formerly UKTV Play).
Traveling away from home? 10 Play is regionally-restricted, so Aussie citizens will need a VPN to watch MasterChef Australia Season 17 while located in another country.
