Married at First Sight is a British television programme where couples are matched "scientifically" by a panel of experts. They meet just minutes before they marry. Upon returning, they live together for a period of time, during which they meet at commitment ceremonies and choose whether or not they will continue their relationship. As of the 2019 series, none of the marriages has lasted.

On 24 November 2020, it was announced that the programme will move to Channel 4's sister channel E4 in 2021 and will use the format of its Australian counterpart following the broadcast of the Australian version on E4.[2]
