The Amazing Race 34 is the thirty-fourth season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured twelve teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the Euro-Mediterranean region to win US$1,000,000. This season visited three continents and eight countries, traveling approximately 11,000 miles (18,000 km) over ten legs. Filming took place from May 25 to July 16, 2022. Starting in Munich, racers traveled through Germany, Austria, Italy, Jordan, France, Spain, and Iceland, before returning to the United States and finishing in Nashville. Much like the previous season, this season used a chartered plane rather than commercial airlines to facilitate travel between countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. New elements introduced in this season include an international starting line during the first leg; the Scramble, where teams could perform the first leg's tasks in any order; and eliminating a team in every leg. The season premiered on CBS on September 21, 2022, and concluded on December 7, 2022.
