GuideHow Many Teams Compete on LEGO Masters?
If you're catching up on LEGO Masters and trying to figure out how big the competition field actually is, the short answer is that it changes every season. I went through all five aired seasons of the US show to pin down the exact team count for each one, and added the season count for the US, Australian, and UK versions while I was at it. Heads up, I name every season's winning team below as part of the team-count breakdown, so tread carefully if you are behind.
How many teams start each season?
On the US version of LEGO Masters, each season opens with somewhere between 10 and 13 two-person teams. That's not a typo or a rounding error, the number genuinely moves around from year to year because casting decides how many pairs make the cut before filming starts. Season 1 opened with 10 teams, season 2 and season 4 both opened with 12, season 3 had the biggest field at 13 teams, and season 5 sat in the middle with 11. Every team is a pair, so those numbers mean 20 to 26 individual builders competing for the season's top prize.
Team counts by season
Season 1 (2020): 10 teams. Winners were Tyler and Amy, a married couple from Bradenton, Florida.
Season 2 (2021): 12 teams. Winners were brothers Mark and Steven Erickson from Atlanta, in a finale billed as a battle of the brothers against two other sibling teams.
Season 3 (2022): 13 teams, the largest field of any US season so far. Winners were Nick Della Mora and Stacey Roy.
Season 4 (2023): 12 teams. Winners were Christopher Lee and Robert Zhang, whose finale build later became an actual retail LEGO set (41838 Travel Moments).
Season 5 (2025): 11 teams. Winners were siblings Ian and Sage Summers.
Why the team count changes each season
LEGO Masters doesn't lock itself to a fixed cast size the way some competition shows do. Casting builds the roster around who applies and who fits the mix of skill levels and personalities producers want on set that year, and the episode count generally tracks the team count. Season 1 ran 10 episodes for its 10 teams, season 2 ran 12 episodes for its 12 teams, and season 3 ran 13 episodes for its 13 teams. Season 4 is the exception: it started with 12 teams but only ran 11 episodes, because one team withdrew partway through the season after a health issue rather than being formally eliminated. Season 5 ran 10 episodes for its 11 teams.
How many seasons are there total?
Five seasons of the US LEGO Masters have aired so far, running from 2020 through 2025 on FOX, all hosted by Will Arnett with Brickmasters Amy Corbett and Jamie Berard judging every season. A sixth season has been renewed, and it comes with real changes: Nick Cannon is set to take over as host from Will Arnett, and season 6 will include in-person audition episodes for the first time, filmed at LEGOLAND California Resort in Carlsbad. As of mid-2026, FOX has pushed season 6 to a midseason slot with an expected early 2027 window, and no exact premiere date has been confirmed yet.
The US show has also produced three Celebrity Holiday Bricktacular specials outside the regular season format, airing in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
LEGO Masters around the world
The US isn't the only country running the format. LEGO Masters Australia, hosted by Hamish Blake with Ryan 'The Brickman' McNaught as the sole judge across every season, has aired 7 full seasons on Nine Network from 2019 through 2025. A season 8 special called Bricktacular started airing July 5, 2026, but as of this writing it's still in progress and hadn't crowned a winner yet.
LEGO Masters UK, the original version the whole format is based on, only produced 2 regular series, airing on Channel 4 in 2017 and 2018. It came back for one-off holiday specials after that, but no new regular UK series has followed.
There's no fixed number of teams on LEGO Masters. The US show has run anywhere from 10 to 13 two-person teams per season across its five aired seasons, and season 6 hasn't announced its cast size yet. If you're counting seasons instead, the US sits at 5 aired with a sixth renewed, Australia leads the pack with 7 full seasons, and the UK original stopped after just 2.
