The eleventh series of The Great British Bake Off will begin on 22 September 2020, with this being the fourth series to be broadcast on Channel 4. It is presented by returning host Noel Fielding and new host Matt Lucas, who replaced Sandi Toksvig;[1] and judged by returning judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith. The first three episodes will be extended to 90 minutes instead of the usual 75 minutes. The bakers were announced on 15 September 2020.[2]

Filming of the eleventh series was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming was originally scheduled to take place in April 2020, but it was pushed back to July 2020.[3] Filming the series normally takes place over 12 or 13 weeks on the weekends, but due to pandemic, the cast and crew had to live in a "self-contained biosphere" (Down Hall Hotel in Bishop's Stortford with a skeleton staff),[4] and filming took place in a marquee tent in the garden of the hotel over a period of 6 weeks.[5][6] The contestants and crew had to undergo a period of self-isolation after filming had wrapped.
