Mexico's MasterChef Goes Live 24/7 with Unprecedented Digital Twist
A groundbreaking version of MasterChef is coming to Mexico this spring. MasterChef México 24/7 will mark the first live, round-the-clock edition of the global cooking competition. The show blends traditional TV broadcasts with a 24/7 digital stream and interactive elements for fans.
MasterChef México first aired in 2015 on TV Azteca, produced by EndemolShine Boomdog. Now, the franchise is expanding with MasterChef México 24/7, set to premiere on May 17 on the same network. The new format will include two-hour primetime episodes from Monday to Friday, plus a three-hour Sunday special.
Contestants will live, train, and compete together in a custom-built facility. Every moment—from training sessions and technical challenges to judges’ discussions—will stream in real time on Disney+. The digital platform will also offer behind-the-scenes access, giving viewers an unfiltered look at the competition. The show will be hosted by **Claudia Lizaldi**, with **Chef Adrián Herrera**, **Chef Zahie Téllez**, and **Chef Poncho Cadena** serving as judges. Frank Scheuermann, chief content officer at EndemolShine Boomdog, explained that the 24/7 format widens engagement while keeping the competition’s core values intact. *MasterChef* remains one of the world’s most successful reality TV formats. Banijay Entertainment, which oversees the brand globally, has produced over **700 seasons** across **70+ countries** since its launch.
The launch of MasterChef México 24/7 introduces a new way to experience the cooking competition. Fans can watch live challenges, training, and judging through TV Azteca, Disney+, and digital platforms. The format’s real-time access aims to bring audiences closer to the contestants’ journey than ever before.
