The Ultimate Fighter 32 will debut in June on ESPN and ESPN+ with casting for the new season already underway.

The long-running reality series will focus on featherweights and middleweights for the latest installment with coaches to be named later. Casting for the series will run through Jan. 19 with applicants submitting information through this link.

Casting will be done virtually with no physical tryouts with selections to be made sometime in late January.

The latest season of TUF comes after TUF 31 focused on bantamweights and lightweights with a cast comprised of both UFC veterans and newcomers. Former two-division champion Conor McGregor coached the prospects while Michael Chandler handled the veterans.

Brad Katona and Kurt Holobaugh went on to win the season, with both securing new contracts to return to the UFC roster after having previously competed for the promotion.

Middleweights were most recently featured on TUF back in season 29 when Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega served as coaches. Bryan Battle claimed the title that season.

As for the featherweights, the 145-pound fighters appear for the first time since season 27, which featured Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier as coaches. Katona actually won that season of the reality show as well before he was released and later returned to become the first ever two-time TUF champion.

There’s no word yet on who will coach the upcoming season of the reality series but the show is scheduled to debut in June with an exact date still to be announced.
