MrBeast’s own blockbuster television series, Beast Games, is upon us. From the release date to a breakdown of the first season, here’s how you can watch the show and keep up with what’s happened.
After years of dominating on YouTube, MrBeast is taking on a new challenge in the TV industry. His very own game show, Beast Games, is coming soon to Prime Video and it’s already set to be a record-breaking affair.
While initially marred in controversy due to a number of lawsuits claiming filming led to “inhumane conditions” for contestants, MrBeast himself has addressed it all head-on, claiming he’s sitting on behind-the-scenes footage to debunk the allegations.
Despite this drama, Beast Games is barreling toward its imminent release. So to get you up to speed, here’s the full release schedule along with a look at Season 1 as a whole.
When does Beast Games come out?
Beast Games premieres on Thursday, December 19, 2024. The first two episodes will go live at 12pm EST / 9 AM PT / 5pm GMT.
The series will launch with a two-episode premiere, followed by weekly episodes until the competition concludes.
Where to watch Beast Games online
Beast Games will air exclusively on Prime Video. The series won’t be available on MrBeast’s YouTube channel, nor any other social media platform. In order to watch it in full, you’ll need to subscribe to Amazon Prime.
However, MrBeast has announced he will be hosting a watch party on his Twitch channel for the first episode, and Amazon has granted blanket permission for streamers to watch and react to the premier on their own channels too.

What is Beast Games?
Beast Games is MrBeast’s own big-budget game show, wherein, 1,000 contestants compete in a series of increasingly difficult challenges until only one remains. The overall winner walks away with a life-changing $5 million cash prize.
Some challenges rely on individual skill and wit, while others are team-based, meaning you’ll need your group to surpass the opposition.
It’s the first venture into television for YouTube superstar MrBeast, who’s built the biggest YouTube channel in the world, in large part, due to competitions just like those we’ll see throughout Beast Games, just on a smaller scale with smaller prizes.
