The tenth season of the Australian competitive cooking competition My Kitchen Rules, titled 10th Anniversary Season, premiered on the Seven Network on Monday 28 January 2019.

Before this series aired, The Best of MKR was shown depicting MKR's journey over the years

Applications for contestants opened during the airing of the ninth season. Pete Evans and Manu Feildel returned as judges, with Colin Fassnidge acting as a judge/mentor in the challenge/elimination rounds.

Format Changes MKR Restaurant – The previous Kitchen Headquarters has been replaced with an MKR restaurant, featuring two kitchens and a dining area. It is used for all head-to-head Sudden Death Cook-Offs and the Finals. Perfect Strangers – Milly and Karolina are the first two people that haven't known each other before working as a team. Pop Up Restaurants - Groups will go on separate challenge like Season 9 from Top 13 to Top 11. Each time for the challenge, teams will cook for Pete, Colin, the other group and the public. The team that has the most score from the public receive People's Choice and get advantage in the scoring of the Sudden Death, while Pete and Colin will choose the weakest team to go to Sudden Death. Open Houses – From Top 10, two teams from each group will work together to make a three-course meal for Pete, Manu, the teams and the public. At the end of this round, the two teams that have the lowest score will compete against each other in a Sudden Death Cook-Off. New Quarterfinal - In the first three quarterfinals, instead of cooking food just for the judges, contestants have to serve for the public, VIPs, contestants from past seasons, kids and adults in the MKR Restaurant. The team with the highest score will progress to the semi-finals. Triple Elimination Quarterfinal - For the first time, three teams will be eliminated from the competition in the last quarterfinal. Judges on the Grand Finale - Instead of having six judges to score the dishes, a total of ten judges will be present, including the six judges in the semifinals and Guy Turland, Shannon Martinez, Sean Connoly and Rachel Khoo.
