Married At First Sight returns to Channel Nine in 2026 on February 2.Â
In October, Channel Nine unveiled an explosive first look at Married At First Sight 2026 during its annual Upfronts – and the raunchy trailer leaves little to the imagination.
Daily Mail has obtained the exclusive teaser, which promises the steamiest, most chaotic season in the show’s history.
Opening with the ominous line, ‘Way outside of your comfort zone,’ the teaser cuts between a series of shocking scenes – from steamy bedroom moments and lingerie-clad brides to fiery dinner party confrontations that hint at heartbreak, betrayal and scandal.
‘Oh my God,’ one bride gasps as the music intensifies, before the voiceover teases: ‘A sprinkle of drama. Nine’s love juggernaut is back next year.’
In one jaw-dropping moment, a glamorous blonde bride breaks down in tears, apologising to her groom before admitting, ‘I’m really, really sorry… I don’t think I can marry you.’
But the biggest shock comes as the trailer takes a decidedly X-rated turn – showing one groom and his bride in bed, passionately kissing as she poses in blue lingerie.
Another bride is seen dressed in a black bunny outfit, cheekily looking over her shoulder as she walks away, leaving viewers stunned.

Insiders have declared the upcoming season ‘the most X-rated’Â instalment yet.Â
The new footage also hints at the boldest cast in series history, featuring explosive dinner parties, steamy moments in the honeymoon suites, and fiery showdowns that leave the experts stunned.
The 2026 season has already been making headlines behind the scenes, with insiders describing it as ‘an uncontrollable wildfire’ of walkouts, feuds and even a runaway bride who vanished for more than 14 hours during filming.
John Aiken, Alessandra Rampolla and Mel Schilling say the 2026 experiment will push boundaries like never before – both on and off camera.Â
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail, the trio revealed that while the new season is packed with chaos and confrontation, it’s also filled with unexpected love stories.
‘We’ve got a lot of empowered and outspoken women on the show this year who really hold everyone to account – including the experts,’ John laughed.
‘It’s an amazing season,’ Mel added, before Alessandra agreed, saying viewers can expect ‘a particularly feisty’ group of brides this time around.
