List of episodes

The fifteenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race premiered January 6, 2023.[1] The reality competition series moved to MTV for broadcast, instead of VH1 in the United States.[2]

This season features the largest cast in the show's history, with sixteen queens competing for an amount of $200,000, the largest cash prize in the show's history. It is also the first season to feature biological twins, Sugar and Spice.[3] Series judges Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and Ross Mathews returned, and Ts Madison, who had previously appeared as a recurring guest judge, joined the judges panel.[4]

The season was won by Sasha Colby, the third trans person to win the main series of RuPaul's Drag Race,[5][6] with Anetra as the runner-up. Malaysia Babydoll Foxx was named Miss Congeniality.[7]
