‘Halloween Wars’ 2021: Start Date, Host, Judges and How to Watch

Food Network is ready to celebrate spooky season a little early this year. The network is kicking off its Halloween-themed shows in September this year, saying in a press release: “We’re kicking off a spooktacular roster of all-new and returning Halloween competitions, featuring some of your favorite chefs and stars.” Among those is the baking championship Halloween Wars, which follows several teams as they complete spooky-themed challenges for a chance to win $50,000.

Wondering where and when to watch Halloween Wars this year? Here’s what to know:

When Does Halloween Wars 2021 Start?

Unlike previous years, Halloween Wars will kick off in September instead of October. Season 11 premieres on Sunday, September 19 at 9 p.m. ET.

Who Is Hosting Halloween Wars 2021?

Food Network hasn’t officially announced a host for Season 11, but since Jonathan Bennett has been hosting the show since Season 6, it’s reasonable to expect he’ll be back this year as well.

Who Is Judging Halloween Wars 2021?

Since Halloween Wars began in 2011, the show has had two permanent judges, who are joined by a third judge that changes every episode. This year, though, there are three permanent judges: Cake decorator Shinmin Li (who has judged every season), Food Network star and ex-NFL player Eddie Jackson, and Food Network Star champion Aarti Sequeira.

No guest judges have been announced for Season 11 yet.

How To Watch Halloween Wars 2021:

If you want to watch Halloween Wars the old-fashioned way, just turn on Food Network on your TV at 9/8c. The series will also be available to stream on Discovery+.
