Match Game Season 6 Release Date on ABC; When Does It Start?

What Is Match Game About?

Contestants attempt to match the answers of celebrities in the iconic game of fill in the missing blank. Competitors answer questions and the panelists try to match their answers. After three rounds of the game, the remaining player competes against three panelists. Each matching answer increases their winnings. In the final round, the player spins the star wheel.

Match Game premiered on ABC on June 26, 2016. Alec Baldwin serves as host and executive producer. The show airs as part of ABC’s “Sunday Fun and Games” block alongside the returning Celebrity Family Feud starring Steve Harvey and The $100,000 Pyramid starring Michael Strahan.

Each game is self-contained, with two questions per contestant; the winner advances to the Super Match. If the score is tied after two rounds, a tiebreaker round with all stars is played; if the tie persists a sudden-death tiebreaker is played. Values for the audience match portion of the bonus game are $5,000, $3,000, and $2,000, with $1,000 awarded for not matching any of the top three answers. The contestant then selects a celebrity for the head-to-head match, which multiplies the audience match winnings by five if successful, for a potential top prize of $25,000.

On many episodes, answers that are deemed inappropriate for broadcast are edited out with comical effects, including a slide whistle sound effect dubbed over the audible answer in place of the usual bleep censor. In addition, the answer card and celebrity’s mouth may be blurred or pixelated.
