The hit E4 show has revealed when the new series will start filming, as well as how you can apply to be on the show.
When you click on the link for the application form, it says: “It looks like you’re ready to skip the small talk and walk straight down the aisle – and you’ve come to the right place!”
The form continues: “You may just be one short application form away from making dating apps, being ghosted and dating fatigue a thing of the past!
“MAFS UK isn’t just a TV show – it could be your shot at finding your forever person!”
The small print then revealed the closing date for applications, which in turn uncovered the filming start date for the 2026 series.
“Applicants must be aged 18+. The team will get back to you if they would like to proceed with your application.
“Closing date for applications is 28th Feb ’26,” the form stated.
Elsewhere in the small print, it stated: “CPL are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief.”
After ticking one box, you’re taken to the next part of the application.
The second page of the form is where your personal details are shared with the show.
Information like your name, date of birth and address are shared, before the next page of the application is available to fill out.
The next page is an “About You” page where you fill out more information, such as what you’re looking for in a partner.
Fans of the show are constantly expressing how they are keen to sign up for the show.
Just recently on X, one person said: “Can’t think of a good reason NOT to apply for MAFS right now.”
“Might apply for MAFS,” said another.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”
This comes just months before the 2025 series is due to hit screens.
Though no official start date for the 2025 season has been revealed, MAFS UK will likely hit our streets in the coming months.
It is estimated that the hit series will make a comeback in the middle of September.
This is not official, but instead judging by how the 2024 series began on September 16, 2024.
