The Floor Australia is back once again, but this time, with an outrageous twist.
Channel Nine unveiled the news at its 2026 Upfronts event, and promised The Floor‘s second series will be “bigger, bolder, and more intense than ever”, and we finally know when its going to air!
Scroll on for everything you need to know about the series.
Will there be a season two of The Floor Australia?
Channel Nine has officially revealed that the second season of The Floor will premiere on Sunday, April 19, at 7pm.
Host Rodger Corser said, “I can’t wait for Australia to be immersed in all the drama, suspense and fun of The Floor season two. Super fun new categories combined with a new level of gameplay, strategy and competitiveness will make for plenty of jaw-dropping and hilarious moments.
“So grab your friends and family, park yourself in front of the telly, and see who’s the best in your lounge room in 2026.”

What is The Floor?
Rodger will lead a new class of 81 Australians as they put their minds to the test in a bit to win the ultimate prize of $200,000.
Each contestant begins the game with one tile on the floor, which represents their subject of expertise, and they must win their neighbours’ tiles in a bid to come out on top.
However, the competition will be “tougher” and “more ruthless” this time around, with Nine promising to bring a whole new level of entertainment in 2026.
“The core of the game remains: each contestant defends their tile of expertise, challenging their neighbours to winner-takes-all trivia duels to seize control of The Floor,” a press release teased.
“With fresh contestants, brand-new subjects, and unexpected twists, the game has been elevated to a whole new level.”
This time, contestants will be confronted with “The Freeze”.
If the US version of the show is anything to go by, its Territory Freeze means that whoever wins the most duels by the middle of the season earns the freeze and is safe.
“That means, halfway through the season, whoever has the most territory is safe,” US host Rob Lowe previously explained.
“No one can go after them.”
Who will take part on The Floor?
This year, Travel Guides star Kevin Moloney is set to compete.
Olympic Gold Medallist Steven Bradbury, celebrity chef Hayden Quinn and Love Island Australia‘s Tommy Armour are also set to take on the mind-bending challenge.
Married at First Sight Australia lovebirds Stella and Filip are also set to join the second season.
It will be a mix of celebrities and everyday Aussies set to see if they have what it takes to beat The Floor.
Who is hosting The Floor in Australia?
Rodger Corser, 53, will once again be helming the second series of the hit trivia sensation after its record-breaking debut run in 2025.
Rodger’s return to The Floor is no doubt music to his fans’ ears after he was replaced by Gretel Killeen on The Traitors revival over on Network 10.
Rodger helmed the first two series of The Traitors, but it was shelved, leading to claims that the host was being axed at Network 10.
However, he has found huge success on The Floor, which debuted Down Under in 2025 after proving to be a huge hit in multiple other countries.
Where is The Floor Australia filmed?
Filming for the first series took place in Amsterdam, and many of the contestants were recruited from nearby countries to keep the costs down.
However, all Australian expats were chosen to take on the challenge, with 2019 Married at First Sight alum Jules Robinson even making an appearance.
It was previously claimed that producers were keen to recruit more reality TV stars for season two to boost the show’s appeal.
Though the filming location hasn’t yet been confirmed, it will likely take place in Amsterdam once again, rather than a replica set being built Down Under.
Was The Floor Australia filmed in one day?
Rodger revealed that in season one, two episodes were generally shot in a single day, and the show was filmed over a week.
“For The Floor, I got one suit. Every night they would clean my suit, and I had five different T-shirts that they would rotate,” he told 9Entertainment.
He explained that everyone’s wardrobe was kept the same for consistency, and this technique has been used in the other versions of the show.
Who won The Floor in Australia?
In 2025, Patrick Neasey became the inaugural Aussie champion and won the life-changing $200,000 prize.
The 33-year-old engineer defeated 80 others and said he planned to take an epic road trip along the Alaska Highway.
“Winning The Floor Australia feels incredible,” he said.
“Being part of the very first group of contestants — and coming out on top — is something I’m really proud of.
“I put a lot of study into categories like Girl Groups, History Makers, and World Leaders, so to see that pay off is incredibly satisfying. But honestly, the biggest reward isn’t the money — it’s the friendships I made, the memories from the show, and knowing my family and friends are proud of what I achieved.”
