Get ready!

With three Instant Restaurant rounds in the bag, the My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2025 grand finale is rapidly approaching.

Before anyone claims the MKR 2025 title — and the $250,000 prize that comes with it — they’ll have to face a nail-biting finale judged by some of Australia’s top chefs.

While the contestants film the finale months before it airs, this year’s winners may not even know their own fate. MKR 2025 winners Simone and Viviana told Chattr in an interview that they found out about their triumph at the same time as the rest of Australia.

“It was breathtaking,” Viviana shared, adding that they filmed alternative endings at the finale so the results weren’t leaked. “We didn’t know until last night, and it was easily one of the happiest moments of my life.”

So, with the MKR 2025 finale just around the corner, here’s everything you need to know.

Who’s in the MKR 2025 finale?

At the time of writing, the semi-finalists have been confirmed. They are Justin and Will, Lol and Lil, Danielle and Marko and Maria and Bailey.

Those four teams will compete at Kitchen HQ to determine who will advance to the MKR 2025 grand finale.

When is the MKR 2025 grand finale?

The official date of the MKR grand finale hasn’t officially been announced yet, but the semi-finals have. The first will play out on Sunday, November 9, and the second will air the following night.

That means that the MKR 2025 grand finale will likely take place on Sunday, November 16.

What happens in the MKR grand finale?

While there’s no formal word on what exactly the MKR 2025 grand finale will entail, last year’s saw the top two teams cook an entree, main and dessert for judges Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge, as well as special guest judge Julie Godwin.

The three professional chefs judged each dish out of ten, and the team with the highest score was crowned the winner. So, we can likely expect a similar format this year.

My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2025 airs on Sundays and Mondays on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
