Still dreaming about finding “the one”? Or maybe you’ve never been in love but are ready to take the plunge. Either way, applications for MAFS 2027 are now open.

While we’re still deep in the drama of Season 13, Australia’s biggest social experiment is already gearing up for Season 14 — and it could be your chance to meet your soulmate. So if you’re ready to put your love life in the hands of the experts, now’s the time to get your application in.

Who knows — you might walk away with your forever person… or at the very least, a little fame.

How to apply for MAFS Australia

To apply for MAFS Australia 2027, head to Channel Nine’s official casting page here.

To be eligible to be cast on the Channel Nine show, you must be available to film between mid-July and November 2026. So if you have a job and you think you’re in with a chance, maybe give them a heads-up.

The application states the show is looking for participants of all ages and backgrounds who are truly committed to finding love. If you are a science enthusiast, you’ll appreciate that the experiment is guided by science and psychology, but you will not meet your match until your wedding day… eek!

How long does it take to complete the MAFS application form?

According to previous contestants, the MAFS application process is pretty lengthy, so we decided to sign up and see just how long it actually takes.

Applicants must complete an extensive, often invasive, questionnaire. It starts with basic details like height and weight, then moves to personal questions, such as “Why are you looking for love?” and “Is there anything you’d hesitate to tell your future partner?”

Applicants must also upload a full-body photo, a recent picture, and a one-minute video introducing themselves and explaining their motivation for wanting to join MAFS.

If that slightly invasive process hasn’t scared you off yet, then it might be time to get your application in.

When do applications close for MAFS 2027?

There’s no information about when casting will close for MAFS 2027 just yet, but get in quick so you don’t miss out.

What’s changing for MAFS in 2027?

Recently, Mel Schilling announced that this will be her last season as an expert on MAFS since 2015. The announcement comes after Mel was diagnosed with bowel cancer in December 2023, and after going through six months of chemotherapy and life changes, she decided to put her family first.

We don’t know who will replace her and join John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla on the couch yet, but it will surely shake things up.

Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 airs Sunday – Monday on Channel 9 and 9Now.
