How to Watch — The Chase
How to Watch The Chase
The Chase is one of television's most successful quiz show formats, with active production in the UK and adaptations worldwide. The American version on ABC ran for three seasons (2021–2023) before being cancelled, while the original UK version on ITV continues to thrive. Here's how to watch every version.
The UK Version on ITV (2009–Present)
The original and longest-running version of The Chase airs on ITV in the United Kingdom, hosted by Bradley Walsh since its 2009 debut. New episodes air regularly throughout the year, and the show remains one of ITV's most-watched daytime programs. Chasers include Mark "The Beast" Labbett, Anne "The Governess" Hegerty, Paul "The Sinnerman" Sinha, Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan, Shaun "The Dark Destroyer" Wallace, and Darragh "The Menace" Ennis. UK viewers can watch live on ITV or stream on ITVX, which offers both live viewing and on-demand access to recent episodes. ITVX is free for UK residents.
The US Version on ABC (2021–2023)
The American version of The Chase aired on ABC from 2021 to 2023 across three seasons, hosted by Sara Haines with Chasers Mark Labbett, Brandon Blackwell, Victoria Groce, and Brad Rutter. ABC cancelled the show after Season 3. While no longer in production, past episodes remain available:
- Hulu: All three seasons available with a Hulu subscription
- ABC.com / ABC App: Select episodes may be available with a cable provider login
- Amazon Prime Video: Episodes available for digital purchase
- Apple TV: Individual episodes and seasons available for purchase
Streaming and On-Demand Options
Depending on your region and which version you want to watch:
- ITVX (UK): Free streaming of the original UK version with full episode archive
- BritBox (International): UK episodes available for international viewers
- Hulu (US): All three seasons of the US version
- YouTube: Official clips and highlights from both UK and US channels
- Game Show Network (GSN): Occasionally airs US version reruns
Streaming availability changes as licensing agreements shift, so check your preferred platform for current listings.
International Versions
The Chase has been adapted in numerous countries including Australia (Seven Network), Germany, France, India, and many others. Each adaptation features local hosts, regional Chasers, and culturally tailored questions. International versions can sometimes be found on YouTube or through region-specific streaming platforms.
Celebrity and Special Editions
Both the UK and US versions have produced celebrity editions featuring famous contestants competing for charity. The UK's "The Chase Celebrity Special" airs regularly on ITV. Celebrity editions offer a different dynamic — contestants are often more willing to take risks with higher and lower offers, creating dramatic moments.
Tips for New Viewers
If you're new to The Chase, the UK version on ITVX or BritBox is the definitive starting point — over 15 years of episodes with Bradley Walsh's natural chemistry with the Chasers. The US version on Hulu offers a polished American adaptation that's easy to binge. Either way, the format's appeal is immediate: watch a contestant build a cash pot, then try to outrun a trivia genius back to safety.
