While University Challenge has a fresh look with a new set and title sequence, the beloved format that fans have come to appreciate will remain unchanged. Viewers can anticipate fast-paced and highly competitive matches between some of the nation’s most knowledgeable students, accompanied by the familiar voice of announcer Roger Tilling. Representing universities and university colleges from Aberdeen to Southampton, the teams will include not only well-established institutions but also one of the UK’s smallest and newest universities making its debut in the competition.
