HaMerotz LaMillion 9, also known as HaMerotz LaMillion 2024, is the ninth season of HaMerotz LaMillion (Hebrew: המירוץ למיליון, lit. The Race to the Million), an Israeli reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race, and the first installment of Channel 12's iteration of the show. Hosted by Yehuda Levi, replacing Ron Shahar who hosted the previous seasons of the show, it featured thirteen teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world to win ₪1,000,000. Starting in Mýrdalshreppur, racers travelled through Iceland, Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Senegal, Azerbaijan, Austria, Germany, Mongolia, South Korea, Vietnam, and New Zealand. New twists introduced in this season include Partner Swap. Elements of the show that returned for this season include the Fast Forward and the no-rest leg. The season was set to premiere in early 2024, although the premiere date was delayed by the Israel-Hamas war. The season premiered on 1 July 2024 on Channel 12 and is set to conclude on 25 September 2024.
