‘Jeopardy! Masters’ Suffers Huge Ratings Decline – Fans Debate the Reasons

The third season of Jeopardy! Masters premiered on April 30, 2025, at 9 pm on ABC, attracting 3.12 million viewers.
The ratings drop followed ABC’s decision to move the show's timeslot from 8:00 to 9:00 pm, which viewers and analysts identified as a main cause.
Additional factors included the absence of fan favorites like James Holzhauer, tournament burnout, reduced advertising, and oversaturation of Jeopardy spin-offs.
The rating for the key 18-49 demographic dropped by nearly 35%, falling from 0.43 to between 0.28 and 0.33. One viewer commented that what was once a guaranteed hit has now become a series that even the most loyal followers might find difficult to keep up with on a regular basis.
The ratings decline suggests airing time and casting changes significantly affect viewer engagement, indicating the 9 pm slot may be too late for the core audience to play along actively.
