With soon to be twenty series and counting, Lord Alan Sugar has made many business partners. However, the mogul is far from done.
Earlier this year, Dean Franklin secured the £250,000 investment, narrowly beating competition from Anisa Khan who had a restaurant and delivery business that fused Indian flavours with traditional Italian pizzas.
BBC’s The Apprentice will be back for more. If you want to know when you can see the drama on your screens once again, keep reading. We also have a similar article for Gladiators series 3.
When could The Apprentice series 20 be released?
The BBC has not confirmed when The Apprentice series 20 will air, but we can hazard a guess as to when it will be.
2025’s instalment kicked off on Thursday 30 January 2025 at 9pm GMT on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, while the series before that aired on 1 February 2024.

The past two series have usually kicked off after The Traitors has finished, which usually has 12 episodes – with three airing each week. If the show follows the same schedule, then it would finish around 24 January 2026 based on the pattern of the first three instalments.
So, that would leave a Thursday evening slot free. That means we can expect to possibly see The Apprentice return as early as Thursday 29 January 2026.
This is all speculation based on previous years – we may learn more in the coming weeks.
Is there a trailer for series 20 of The Apprentice UK?
Not yet! But we’ll add it in as soon as it’s available.
Have the contestants been announced for The Apprentice series 20?
Again, no. We expect that news on them will drop in January. As this is a milestone year, there might be a twist on the usual format.
Will The Apprentice return for series 21?
As applications for series 21 are now open (and will be until 11 January 2026), we’re willing to bet that the BBC will be renewing The Apprentice for next year, as usual.
