Watch Race Across The World Season 4: Preview
Race Across the World – the UK’s answer to The Amazing Race – has a disarmingly simple premise. The first team of two to get from a starting point to the finishing line wins a prize of £20,000. Simple.
The catch is that they have to do so using only the bare essentials with no smartphones, internet, bank cards or directions. And for one unlucky team, not even a map. Oh, and the race spans 15,000 kilometres from Sapporo in Japan to Lombok in Indonesia.
It’s certainly a compelling hook with the BAFTA-winning series returning for its fourth run. Starting with five teams who quickly found a home in viewers heart, relationships spanned from mother and daughter duos Sharon and Brydie and Eugenie and Isabel, to lifelong pals Alfie and Owen, siblings Betty and James, and a husband and wife Stephen and Viv.
Journeying through Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, and Indonesia, throughout the eight hour-long episodes the leaders have been interchangeable, the budgets depleting at varying rates, and the heartwarming moments unfolding and moving audiences across each episode. And now you can watch all episodes of Race Across the World Season 4 from start to finish, including a special “Reunion” episode.
Find out all the details about the series below including how to watch Race Across The World Season 4 online and for free.

How to watch Race Across The World from anywhere
If you’re a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Race Across The World Season 4just as you would at home.
While BBC iPlayer is for licence fee-paying Brits and blocks access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there’s a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address and help you to watch UK TV online from abroad, making it look like you’re accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK-based server and tune into all the programmes on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
How To Use A VPN To Unblock Streaming Services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from just $3.69 a month with its 2-year plan
2. Connect to a server – for BBC iPlayer, for example, you’ll want to connect to a server located in the UK
3. Stream away! – login to your streaming service – BBC iPlayer in this instance – and stream like you were in your home country
Can I watch Race Across The World Season 4 anywhere else?
Although some of the previous series of Race Across the World have found an international streaming home, it doesn’t look as though Season 4 will be shown in any of the US, Canada or Australia.
So if you’re a Brit abroad who’s desperate to watch, then we can only suggest that you try using a VPN to avoid the geo-restrictions that the BBC iPlayer puts in place.
