How to watch Taskmaster

As detailed above, Taskmaster will air on Channel 4, with episodes expected to become available on All 4 shortly after broadcast.

In addition, the previous 13 seasons of Taskmaster are currently available to watch on the video on demand service.

Taskmaster aired on UKTV channel Dave for five years, building up a loyal fandom in that time.

In 2020, ahead of Taskmaster's 10th season, the show moved over to Channel 4 after a deal was signed for the broadcaster to make six seasons of the show across three years.
