"The Amazing Race" 38 is an unusual season in that it's one big crossover, with all 13 teams comprising at least one "Big Brother" alumnus. They've each brought a family member or significant other along for their European adventure, apart from Taylor Hale, who's apparently dating Kyland Young.
Here's how to watch "The Amazing Race" 38 online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.
► Date and time: "The Amazing Race" 38 premieres at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on Thursday, September 25.
• FREE STREAM — CTV (Canada)
• U.S. — Paramount Plus / CBS via Fubo
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
Did "The Amazing Race" really need such a drastic overhaul? The consistently superb ratings suggest not, although despite the multitude of nominations it receives year-in and year-out, it last took home an award in 2014. How members of the public respond to the whole reality TV schtick will, however, be a source of intrigue even for naysayers.
Phil Keoghan will be dropping twists before the race even begins, with an Express Pass and a Hazard set to be doled out to the respective winners and losers of a challenge right from the outset.
The show has also teased that the contestants, of which season 24 and 25 winners Taylor and Jag Bains are the most high-profile "Big Brother" alumni, will "reach new heights" in Prague, "bathe like a king" in Budapest and "skydive nearly 13,000 feet" over Romania.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
