Married at First Sight Australia 2026 (Season 13) was filmed in the second half of 2025, mainly across the Australian winter–spring period (roughly July to October 2025), with the season then premiering in early February 2026.

Quick Scoop: When was MAFS 2026 filmed?

While the network doesn’t publish a day‑by‑day shooting calendar, multiple pieces of publicly available info line up:

  • Season 13 premiered on Channel 9 and 9Now on Monday 2 February 2026.
  • A UK entertainment post notes that MAFS Australia is usually filmed during the UK summer, between July and October , and refers to the 2026 season being fully wrapped about five months before the March 2026 UK airing.
  • That five‑month gap between the end of filming and UK broadcast is consistent with previous seasons, which shoot mid‑year then air the following February–March.

Putting that together, Season 13 (the “MAFS 2026” you’re seeing on TV now) was filmed over several weeks in mid to late 2025 , with weddings, honeymoons and the experiment completed by around October 2025 , and post‑production running into early 2026.

Extra context: locations and timing vibes

  • The 2026 couples’ retreat was filmed at the Greyleigh estate near Kiama on the NSW South Coast, a location also used in the 2025 weddings, which shows continuity in shooting style and schedule.
  • Recent seasons have kept a very similar pattern: film in the middle of the year, edit over several months, then drop the series to Australian audiences around late January or early February.

So if you’re watching drama “happening now” on MAFS 2026, remember you’re really looking back at relationships and storylines that were filmed around mid‑2025.
