Premiering Monday, July 13 at 9|8c (and available to stream on HBO Max the next day), our brand-new series, Pitmasters, is a raw, relentless, real-world BBQ competition unlike anything ever attempted on Food Network. It's a nonstop, weeklong battle set deep in the wilderness where teams of the most notable pitmasters will push the boundaries of what BBQ can be. Competitors will cook from sunrise to sunset to sunrise again, fighting for survival and their share of up to $50,000. Teams must manage fire, fatigue and challenges within challenges to impress an elite panel of judges: Andrew Zimmern, Jess Pryles, Moe Cason and Ernest Servantes. Only one team will be crowned the Pitmasters Champion. Join the social conversation and share your takes on the hottest barbecue trends using #FNPitmasters.

This time around, it's going to be a battle of savory and sweet: four trucks specialize in savory dishes and four are experts on the sweet stuff. The eight competing teams each represent a dynamic mix of flavors, strategies and culinary creativity. Host Tyler Florence will lead the route from Nashville to the Great Smoky Mountains — complete with stops in cities with vibrant food scenes. Every week, the teams must prove their cooking expertise, marketing savvy and selling skills in themed challenges to beat their rivals. For the first time, the bottom two teams each week will go head-to-head in a taste redemption battle to see who earns the right to stay and who heads home. The season will culminate in an action-packed finale at the legendary Churchill Downs in Louisville, where only one truck will be awarded a life-changing $50,000 grand prize. The Great Food Truck Race kicks off a new season on Sunday, July 26 at 9|8c — and will be available to stream the next day on HBO Max. Get to know the competing teams and relive the most dramatic moments of the season using #GreatFoodTruckRace.

Also premiering this summer is new series Kitchen Undercover, a high-stakes, sneak-attack restaurant rescue led by chef Antonia Lofaso, alongside sous-chef Nestor Milian, who will go full undercover, slipping into failing restaurants that are one more bad review away from total collapse. While Antonia watches the drama unfold from a secret command center — spying on every meltdown, mistake and questionable choice — Nestor will be on the inside, embedded with the staff, stirring the pot and digging up the juicy truth. From toxic team dynamics to tragic food, nothing will stay hidden for long. When the real reasons customers aren’t coming back are exposed, Antonia will storm in to shake things up, call out the chaos and whip these teams into shape. But with the clock ticking and closure looming, only time will tell if Antonia can turn these hot messes into hot spots. Go behind the scenes on Food Network's social pages via #KitchenUndercover.

Restaurant Impossible: Last Call — premiering Thursday, July 23 at 8|7c and streaming on HBO Max the next day — is a fresh take on a classic. The series follows acclaimed chef Aarón Sánchez and dynamic Canadian restaurateur Jen Agg as they lead the charge to rescue struggling restaurants across North America. Their goal is not to formulate quick fixes; they will dig into real problems, adapt to a new and challenging restaurant industry and find creative, unexpected solutions tailored to each business. While Jen tackles design and front-of-house issues, Aarón gets to work on the culinary side, assessing exactly what needs to change for the restaurant to thrive. From horrendous Yelp reviews to feuding family members, each episode will reflect the varying challenges today’s restaurateurs face. Emotions will run high, and the stakes are critical as Aarón and Jen strategize each location’s rescue plan — all while navigating the greater changes happening in an industry being forced to evolve. Keep up with Food Network's social pages via #RestaurantImpossible to hear from Aarón and Jen before each restaurant overhaul and learn their do’s and don'ts about running a successful eatery in 2026.
