The seventh season of the Brazilian competitive reality television series MasterChef premiered on 14 July 2020 at 10:45 p.m. on Band.
The season was originally set to premiere on May, however, due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, filming was postponed to 20 June 2020 under a new format. Unlike the standard format, this season, each week new amateur chefs compete in a series of tests to secure a place in the final and a chance to win the grand prize and the MasterChef trophy.
First stage winners were awarded a R$5.000 prize courtesy by PicPay, an Amazon Echo device, a R$500 shop card at Amazon.com, an oven from the new Brastemp Gourmand line, a Tramontina kit of pots and knives, a scholarship at Estácio de Sá University and a reduced new version of the program trophy.
On 2 July, Band announced that filming had been suspended until 6 July 2020. Taping for the first stage was completed on 28 August 2020. Shooting for the final resumed in November 2020.
The final winner was awarded a R$25.000 prize, a house equipped by Amazon Echo smart devices, a Brastemp Inverse 4 refrigerator, a new kitchen equipped by Tramontina and the MasterChef trophy.
Architect Anna Paula Nico won the competition over app driver Hailton Arruda and systems analyst Heitor Cardoso on 29 December 2020.
