“I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” is back in 2026 with different versions, and the only clearly confirmed start date so far is for the Australian series, which begins on Sunday 18 January 2026.

UK vs Australia versions

  • The classic UK ITV jungle series for late 2026 has not yet had an official November launch date announced, though recent series have typically started in mid‑November.
  • The South Africa all‑stars spin‑off is confirmed to be returning in 2026, but it only has a general “2026” launch window so far, with industry press expecting an April–May schedule similar to its first run.

Confirmed 2026 Australia start

  • Entertainment outlets report that I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Australia 2026 is confirmed to premiere on Sunday 18 January 2026.
  • Australian coverage also notes that production in South Africa wrapped before this premiere date, with Network Ten promoting the show around that 18 January launch.

What this means for “when is it starting?”

  • If the question is about the Australian edition: it starts 18 January 2026.
  • If the question is about the UK ITV jungle series: the exact 2026 date is not confirmed yet, but based on recent years you can expect a mid‑November start unless ITV changes the pattern.

TL;DR: The only locked‑in date right now is I’m a Celeb Australia 2026 on 18 January 2026; UK and South Africa 2026 runs are confirmed for the year but without precise public launch dates yet.
