EW's editorial guidelines Published on November 1, 2023 09:00AM EDT There's no new episode of The Masked Singer this week, and — cue Ken Jeong impression — we know exactly why that is and when it'll air next. As is often the case this time of year, the episode has been deferred due to the World Series. This week's episode lands at the same date and general time as Game 5 of baseball's top matchup, which Fox has the rights to. So, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers will be battling it out on your TV screens instead of a bunch of masked singing celebrities. However, the World Series will be over by Nov. 4 at the latest, which means The Masked Singer will be right back on schedule starting next week, Nov. 8, when the new episode will air on Fox. The rest of the season should continue as planned from there. Donut on 'The Masked Singer'.
