When does 'The Amazing Race' start? Season 36 premiere date, host, where to watch

"The Amazing Race" is coming back for its 36th season this spring.

CBS announced the spring premiere date back in November, along with premiere dates for new show "Tracker" and returning hits like "Young Sheldon" and "Survivor."

The Emmy Award-winning reality series features teams of two who "embark on a trek around the world." Teams that are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the season progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning the $1 million prize.

"At every destination, each team must compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are completed will they learn of their next location," the show's synopsis reads.

While the participants of the upcoming season have not yet been announced, here's everything else you need to know about Season 36 of "The Amazing Race."
