Rock the Block 2025: Premiere Date, Celebrity Builders, and Game-Changing Renovations You Can’t Miss

Rock the Block 2025 is shaping up to be HGTV’s biggest renovation showdown yet. With Season 6 premiering on April 14, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the network is rolling out a supersized two-hour episode to kick off seven weeks of fierce competition among four design-duo powerhouses. When does Rock the Block 2025 start? • Two-hour premiere: Monday, April 14, 2025, 9 p.m. ET/PT • Weekly episodes: Mondays on HGTV, with next-day streaming on Max and Discovery+ What’s new this season? • Location shift: For the first time, the series heads to Utah’s Wasatch Back, where each competing team receives a full acre lot and a 5,500-sq-ft blank-slate home initially appraised at $750,000. • Bigger budget: Designers get $250,000 to transform their properties—$50,000 more than last year—raising the stakes for ROI-driven creativity. • Fresh twist: Mid-season “price-bump” power plays let winners of weekly challenges increase their appraisal value by deploying landscape or tech upgrades on rivals’ homes. Who are the Rock the Block 2025 teams? HGTV favorites Alison Victoria & Michel Smith Boyd, Keith Bynum & Evan Thomas, Page Turner & Mitch Glew, and Brian & Mika Kleinschmidt bring contrasting styles—modern Mediterranean, elevated rustic, West-Coast transitional, and luxe coastal—to the mountain enclave, promising design clashes viewers love. Early ratings surge The season premiere drew 5.2 million same-day viewers, a franchise record that pushed Rock the Block into cable’s Top 5 for the night and drove a 23 percent lift in the network’s key P25-54 demo versus 2024’s opener. Social chatter around #RockTheBlock2025 trended on X within 30 minutes of airtime. Who won Rock the Block 2025? In the May 26 finale, Alison Victoria and Michel Smith Boyd clinched the victory with a dramatic indoor–outdoor entertaining space anchored by a retractable glass wall, a 14-seat dining table, and resort-style lighting. Their appraisal jumped $480,000—highest in series history. Will the Rock the Block houses be sold? Yes. HGTV confirmed each Utah property will hit the MLS this summer, listed with the designers’ custom furnishings intact; buyers can opt to keep or remove the décor package for an additional negotiated fee.
