The ninth season of the Australian competitive cooking competition show My Kitchen Rules premiered on the Seven Network on Monday 29 January 2018.

Applications for contestants opened during the airing of the eighth season. Pete Evans and Manu Feildel returned as judges, with Colin Fassnidge acting as a judge/mentor in the challenge/elimination rounds.

Format Changes

  • Group Challenges – Teams were divided into two groups of eight for their Instant restaurant rounds. In previous series, teams were usually combined afterwards, however this year, teams continue to compete as part of their groups during the Top 14 to Top 9 rounds. Each group competed in separate People's Choice challenges which also allowed the opposing group to judge and observe the teams' cooking. Once the competition reached the Top 8, teams were combined as a single group.
  • Elimination House – All Sudden Death Cook-Offs are held in the Elimination House, a large mansion with two full-sized kitchens for the competing teams to use. Following a similar format to the previous MKR kitchen eliminations, both teams cook a three-course menu for a table of the remaining teams and judges Pete and Manu.
