The Amazing Race 32 is the thirty-second installment of the reality television show, The Amazing Race.
Development
The Amazing Race 32 was taped in 2018, but did not air until almost two years later. It originally slated to premiere on May 20, 2020, with a two-hour season premiere.[2] However, the premiere date was pushed back further in the year for the 2020-21 television season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, replacing Survivor in CBS's fall lineup.[3]
Host Phil Keoghan explained that, following themed casting in recent seasons, this season would go "back to basics", featuring elements that have contributed to the show's longevity.[4]
This season marked the return of the Yield after being absent for 21 seasons in the American version.[5]
