MKR 2026 teams unveil signature dishes ahead of launch

It’s almost time to dust off the napkins and pour the vino, because My Kitchen Rules is officially heading back to our screens. Seven and 7NEWS have confirmed the popular cooking competition premieres on Monday, September 28 on Channel Seven and 7plus – and ahead of the big launch, the fresh batch of teams have revealed exactly what they’ll be serving up in the signature dish round.

Now, as any MKR superfan knows, the signature dish is where first impressions are made – and these new faces are clearly pulling out all the stops. While the teams come from all walks of life, they’re united by one thing: the pressure of cooking for the judges and their rivals. The reveal gives us a sneaky taste of the flavours, cuisines and personal stories that’ll be dished up this season, from family favourites with a twist to more ambitious plates designed to impress from the get-go.

Of course, we’re not going to spoil the judging panel’s reactions or dish out spoilers before the episode even airs – but let’s just say the competition looks set to be as fierce as ever. With the signature dishes now on the table, it’s all about who can handle the heat when the instant restaurant doors swing open. Mark your calendars for September 28, because this is one premiere you won’t want to miss.
