The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2025: When it's out and who's on the teams
The Big Fat Quiz of the Year has confirmed its 2025 line-up
The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2025 is just weeks away, with Jimmy Carr set to test celebrities on the year’s biggest moments.
Certain shows have become a holiday staple, whether it’s the Strictly Come Dancing special, Richard Osman’s Festive House of Games, or the long list of Christmas TV specials we revisit every year.
The Big Fat Quiz of the Year has aired on Channel 4 every year since 2004, with famous faces joining Carr to reminisce, laugh, and go head-to-head over what happened in the last 12 months.
If you’re among the fans waiting for it to air, you’re in the right place – here’s what we know.
What date and time is The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2025 out?
The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2025 will air at 9pm on December 26, 2026. It will be two hours long.
This is pretty much par for the course, with the past 14 years’ quizzes airing on (or around) Boxing Day. The only exceptions have been 2009 and 2010’s quizzes, which aired the following years around New Year’s Day.
There is still a question mark over the Big Fat Quiz of Telly. Another instalment of the spin-off (focused, as the title suggests, on TV) is said to be coming to Channel 4 soon, as reported by TV Zone.
However, it’s unclear exactly when it’ll air, so keep your eyes peeled for further updates.
Who’s on 2025’s Big Fat Quiz teams?
There will be three teams on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2025: Jonathan Ross and Richard Ayoade, Katherine Ryan and Nick Mohammed, and Roisin Conaty and Lou Sanders.
It’s a Celebrity Traitors reunion for Ross and Mohammed, who appeared together on the show earlier this year.
Ayoade is a Big Fat Quiz stalwart, having appeared as a regular panelist on the show since 2007. He’s often been teamed with Noel Fielding, but the Bake Off co-host didn’t join last year’s quiz, and he isn’t part of the 2025 line-up, either.
