MasterChef Australia 2025 is in full swing, and even though we haven’t reached the halfway point of the competition yet, fans think they have figured out who the winner is.
This year, along with being named the seventeenth Australian MasterChef champion, the victor will also take home $250,000.
This season is already special because all 24 contestants have previously competed on the show.
There is always speculation about who wins the reality show, so we have rounded up all the top theories and signs that certain contestants may make it to the end below.

Who will win MasterChef Australia 2025?
Nine contestants have already left or been eliminated from the competition, and this year’s contestants are hungrier than ever for the coveted title.
Even though we won’t be finding out who wins any time soon, Sportsbet is always a key indicator on who could be competing for the prize.
At the time of publication, the latest entry had Laura Sharrad tipped as the winner with odds of $1.50, followed by Callum Hann ($4.00) and Declan ($8.50).
Fan favourite Sarah Todd has been tipped to secure fourth place with $10.00 odds, with Theo Loizou rounding out the top five with the same odds.
The other contestants have been listed as follows:
- Andre Ursini ($11.00)
- Snezana Calic ($13.00)
- Ben Macdonald ($15.00)
- Alana Lowes ($21.00)
- Depinder Chhibber ($21.00)
- Audra Morrice ($26.00)
- Beau Cook ($26.00)
- Jamie Fleming ($34.00)
- Samira El Khafir ($41.00)

Only time will tell if these predictions are spot on, but fans also have their own theories.
As the show was being promoted, Channel 10 revealed that Laura, Callum, and Sarah were among the fan favourites returning to the show.
When the first episode aired, the judges introduced the trio, who captained the first service challenge.
This made Reddit users wonder if any of the three contestants, who have all carved out successful careers since they first appeared on the show, could win the series.
One user has already made their prediction.
“I think the winner will be Sarah, she’s grown so much since her time on MasterChef, and I can just see it happening. COMPLETE guess but just to guess I think Laura, Darrsh, Declan, and Depinder, maybe even Sav, will be in the top 5 this time around,” they wrote at the time. However, Sav has since been eliminated.
Another fan has expressed their hope for Laura, who has already competed twice, and another said they wanted Depinder to win.

When is the MasterChef Australia 2025 finale?
According to the Sportsbet entry, the finale will air on Tuesday, July 1. So we have plenty of time to see how these theories stack up as the competition progresses.
