Season 6 is confirmed but had not aired at the time we last updated this page. That makes it the one season we cannot break down as a builder, because there are no builds yet. What we can do is lay out what is actually confirmed versus what is still rumour, since the reporting around this season has been unusually noisy.

We verified the status below against current reporting rather than relying on older notes, because a renewed-but-unaired season is exactly the kind of fact that goes stale fast. Where something is unconfirmed, we say so plainly.

What is confirmed

FOX renewed LEGO Masters for a sixth season, announced around the network's May 2025 upfronts. Nick Cannon is set to replace Will Arnett as host, with Arnett's scheduling cited as the reason for the change. FOX has also said the season will introduce in-person audition episodes for the first time, reported to be tied to LEGOLAND California Resort in Carlsbad.

At the network's 2026 upfronts, FOX slotted the season into a midseason position, which pushes the premiere into 2027 rather than 2026. As of this update there is no confirmed premiere date and no announced judging panel.

What is still unconfirmed

The reason for the delay, commonly reported as a mix of Nick Cannon's commitment to another FOX series and the network's 2026 FIFA World Cup coverage occupying its summer schedule, is described by the outlets reporting it as speculation, not an official FOX statement. Treat it as a likely explanation rather than a confirmed one.

It is also not yet confirmed whether the established Brickmaster judges return for season 6. Until FOX announces a panel and a date, everything past the renewal, the host change, and the audition format is best read as unsettled.

Techniques you can steal

  • The move to in-person auditions, if it holds, means season 6 casting will reward people who can build live in front of a camera, not just film a strong audition tape.
  • A new host does not change the building at all. The craft that wins is set by the challenges and the judges, not the person holding the microphone.
