When was MAFS Australia 2026 filmed? The cast of Married At First Sight Australia may appear deeply immersed in relationship struggles on screen, but the events actually took place months ago. Here is a detailed timeline of when everything occurred.
February 2025
This was the period when the cast, including Alissa, Mel, Scott, Bec, Danny, and others, either applied to be on the show or were scouted by MAFS producers. The application process is lengthy, ensuring suitability before official selection and matching.
July 2025
By the end of this month, Australian paparazzi and news sources revealed that the weddings were taking place.
August 2025
The first fiery dinner party was filmed, along with the second, which featured the huge argument between Stella, Brook, Gia, and Alissa. This timeline was confirmed by Brook's social media apology, where she stated: "This dinner party was filmed in August last year and since then, I have had time to reflect and learn from my actions." Three intruder couples also filmed their wedding days this month: Sam and Chris, Steph and Tyson, and Joel and Juliette.
September - November 2025
This period covered the nitty-gritty of the experiment, including Home Stays, Couple's Retreat, and the Grass is Greener challenge. All this drama unfolded while fans were unaware of the upcoming series.

Filming for series 13 ended this month, with couples having chosen to stay or walk away. Just weeks after Final Vows, the cast reunited to film the reunion episodes.
