The teams will really have to put their knowledge to the test, tackling questions on all aspects of human thought, achievement and culture from around the world

Get ready, we're coming back to your screens! I’m thrilled to be hosting another series of University Challenge. Yet again I’m looking forward to tense rivalries, big comebacks and countless more starters for 10.

One of the UK’s toughest quiz competitions returns to BBC Two and iPlayer with twenty-eight new student teams from across the UK battling it out to earn the title of Series Champions and lift the trophy – presented to them at the Series Final by one of Britain's best-loved and most esteemed figures. The familiar theme tune heralds the return of the fast-paced and fiercely competitive matches, featuring the nation's brightest students and the unmistakeable voice of announcer Roger Tilling. The teams will be playing on behalf of universities and university colleges from all four nations of the UK.

Kalpna Patel-Knight, BBC Head of Entertainment Commissioning: “Amol’s first series with University Challenge blew audiences out of the water. Really excited he is back with more incredible University teams going head to head. This new series will be sure to have audiences shouting at their screens once again and I’m looking forward to the next big moment.”
