‘Jeopardy!’ Full Post-Season Schedule & Contestants: Tournament of Champions and More
Jeopardy! will hold multiple postseason events including Second Chance and Champions Wildcard tournaments with winners advancing to the 2026 Tournament of Champions.
Executive producers Sarah Whitcomb-Foss and Michael Davies announced the schedule: Second Chance Tournament begins December 15, 2026, leading to the Champions Wildcard on January 5, 2026, and the ToC on January 19, 2026.
The ToC will feature top multi‑game winners alongside wildcard and Celebrity Jeopardy! entrants, with one- and two-day champions eligible and Second Chance feeding the Champions Wildcard.
Contestant lists name dozens of Second Chance entrants including Evan Argyle, Abigail Arnold, and Guy Branum, plus multi-game winners Scott Riccardi and Laura Faddah.
Three‑day champions who missed direct selection can advance via Second Chance, with winners moving to the Champions Wildcard, shaping Tournament of Champions entrants and drawing interest from champions and former contestants.
Producers say fans should 'stay tuned' as All‑Stars airs Fridays on ABC starting December 15, and Pop Culture Jeopardy! is slated for Netflix in 2026.
