The Amazing Race 23 is the twenty-third installment of the reality television show The Amazing Race. It featured eleven teams of two people, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world for a US$1 million grand prize.
The season premiered on September 29, 2013, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS, with the two-hour season finale airing on December 8, 2013.
Dating couple Jason Case and Amy Diaz were the winners of this season of The Amazing Race.
The season was renewed on March 27, 2013 for the 2013–14 TV season. A revised opening credits sequence and on screen clue information graphics were developed for this season with an updated map using 3D blue marble layout.
The season spanned 35,000 miles (56,000 km) through four continents and nine countries, including Chile, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. The Double Express Pass, introduced in the previous season, returned – in which the first team to arrive at the Pit Stop on the first leg received two Express Passes, one for themselves and one to give to any other team.
