Be a Supermarket Sweep Contestant

Ever dreamed of racing through a supermarket, filling your cart with high-value items, and competing for big prizes? Supermarket Sweep is actively casting teams of two contestants with big personalities and a passion for the game. Here's how to apply and join the action.

What the Show Is Looking For

Supermarket Sweep producers are seeking terrific teams of two with big personalities and genuine enthusiasm for the game. You and your partner (friend, family member, or significant other) should have great chemistry, communicate well under pressure, and bring energy to the competition. Teams that can make the audience laugh and engage with the host tend to stand out in casting.

Eligibility Requirements

To apply, you and your partner must both be at least 18 years old and legal residents of the United States. Neither contestant can be a candidate for public office, and you must have no felony convictions or active restraining orders. All contestants must voluntarily submit to a background check as part of the vetting process.

The Application Process

Start by visiting the official Supermarket Sweep application website and reading the complete eligibility requirements. Fill out the online application form together as a team. The form includes basic biographical questions, but it also digs deeper into your personalities, your relationship, and why you're excited about competing on the show.

Application Questions to Expect

Be prepared to describe each team member's personality, your best and worst qualities, and the most defining moment of your lives. The casting team will ask how long you've known each other, what makes your team unique, whether you have a personal connection to Supermarket Sweep, and most importantly—what would you do with the prize money if you won $25,000 or even $100,000? Come up with a fun team name, preferably food-related, as this may be used on the show.

Video Submission

Many casting calls require a video submission. If so, keep it brief, energetic, and authentic. Show the chemistry between you and your partner, demonstrate your enthusiasm for the game, and let your personalities shine through. The video doesn't need to be professionally produced—sincerity and energy matter far more than production quality.

After You Apply

Once submitted, your application and video will be reviewed by the official casting team. If they like what they see, you'll receive a callback for a phone interview or virtual audition. Successful contestants move through additional screening, background checks, and final approvals before receiving an air date. Be patient—the casting process can take several months, but it's worth the wait if you make it on air!
