New episodes of season 8 of The Masked Singer air every Wednesday on FOX at 8.00 pm ET. But this week, the show has been postponed to Sunday.

Instead of The Masked Singer season 8 episode 6, FOX will air Game 4 of the 2022 World Series at 8.03 pm ET. The sports program will stream the entire week, and so the singing competition series didn’t get any other time slot.

On Wednesday, November 2, 2022, the network will air the World Series Game 4 pre-game at 7.00 pm ET, followed by the main event an hour later. Meanwhile, fans can watch previous episodes of The Masked Singer on the FOX site or on Hulu.

Those who don’t have access to the channel can opt for various TV providers or streaming services, such as Xfinity, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, DirecTV Stream, Philo, fuboTV, Optimum, dish, and YouTube TV.


What to expect from the new episode?

The upcoming episode of The Masked Singer season 8 will celebrate the 100th episode of the show. The theme will be the 90’s, where the winning contestant will get a direct ticket to the semi-finals.

The official synopsis of The Masked Singer season 8 episode 6, titled 90s Night, reads:

“Reminiscing over one of America's most popular decades: the 1990s. The stakes are higher than ever as the winning contestant from this episode will head straight to the Semifinals.”

The new episode will welcome two new contestants, alongside previous episode’s winner, the Lambs. A preview showed that the two new masks will be Milkshake and Walrus.
