How to Get on LEGO Masters: Application and Casting Guide

You apply through official casting calls and casting-agency application forms, the same way most reality competition shows recruit. Past seasons of LEGO Masters used casting sites such as mycastingnet.com to collect applications, which typically ask for a written questionnaire, photos of your builds, and sometimes a short video introducing yourself and your building partner.

For season 6, FOX is doing something new: in-person audition episodes, filmed at LEGOLAND California Resort in Carlsbad. That is a real shift from the fully form-based casting of earlier seasons, and it suggests FOX wants to put more of the audition process on camera as its own content, not just a background step before the season starts.

You need to be at least 18 years old to apply for the standard adult competition. If you have a younger builder in your house who is itching to compete, there is a separate spinoff called LEGO Masters Jr. that accepts builders aged 9 to 17 with a parent or guardian's consent, so that is the route for kids rather than the main show.

LEGO Masters is a team competition, not a solo one. Every season has run with two-person teams, so you cannot apply alone expecting to get paired up on camera. You need a building partner before you submit, whether that is a sibling, spouse, best friend, or longtime building buddy. Casting tends to favor pairs with a clear, likeable dynamic and a story behind how they build together, since that relationship carries a lot of the show's drama.

Beyond the paperwork, what actually gets a team cast is build skill plus personality. The show needs contestants who can execute fast, creative builds under a TV clock, but it also needs teams whose chemistry and character survive editing into an entertaining episode. A strong portfolio of past builds, whether that is elaborate MOCs (my own creations) you have photographed over the years or a body of work shared in the LEGO fan community, is going to matter more than following any specific formula in the application.

Expect the process to move like most competition-show casting: an initial written and photo application, then likely video calls or interviews for teams who make the first cut, and finally in-person meetings or auditions before a final decision. Season 6's LEGOLAND California audition episodes suggest at least part of that later stage will now happen on camera at the park itself rather than in a private casting room.

If you do make it onto the show, you are working with real LEGO bricks pulled from a massive shared supply called the Brick Pit. Wikipedia records more than three million bricks available to teams in season one, and while exact totals for later seasons are not confirmed, it is safe to say the Brick Pit numbers in the millions every year. You generally do not keep what you build. After each episode, a sorter breaks the models back down and returns the bricks to the pit for the next challenge, though a handful of standout builds, including some from the season one finale and later winning builds, have ended up on permanent display at LEGOLAND parks instead.

As of mid-2026, LEGO Masters season 6 has been renewed by FOX with Nick Cannon taking over as host from Will Arnett, but it does not have a confirmed premiere date. FOX pushed the season to a mid-season slot at its 2026 upfronts, with reporting from TVInsider pointing to an early 2027 target rather than the 2026 return fans expected. If you are hoping to apply for this specific season, keep an eye on FOX's official channels and the LEGO Masters social accounts, since casting calls typically open well before a season starts filming.
