When people ask “when was MAFS filmed?”, they’re usually talking about the most recent Married at First Sight seasons, which are filmed many months before they air.

Quick Scoop: When was MAFS filmed?

For recent seasons, the rough pattern is:

  • MAFS Australia 2025 season
    • Casting started around March 2024.
* Weddings and main experiment filming kicked off in July 2024.

* Final vows and last dinner parties wrapped up toward the end of October 2024.

* A reunion was filmed in November 2024, a few weeks after final vows.

* The season then started airing in Australia in late January 2025 and in the UK in March 2025.
  • MAFS UK (general filming pattern)
    • Recent UK seasons are also filmed several months ahead of broadcast, often with weddings in early in the year (around February), final vows by late spring, and reunions a bit later, with the show airing many months after all filming is done.

So if you’re watching a “new” season now, most of what you’re seeing was actually filmed the previous year, with the reunion typically shot weeks or even a couple of months after the final vows.

Fans on forums often point out that by the time episodes hit TV, couples may already have broken up or moved on in real life, because filming wrapped long before broadcast.

TL;DR: MAFS seasons are usually filmed over a few months (roughly 8–12 weeks for the main experiment), finishing many months before the episodes air, with reunions filmed later but still well before you see them on TV.
