The sixth season of SAS: Who Dares Wins kicked off on Sunday, May 9th and quickly proved that it’s not afraid to break out of its tried and tested format.
The Channel 4 series follows 20 civilian recruits as they attempt to survive a brutal 10-day SAS-style military camp, developed by hardened military vets Ant Middleton and Jason Fox. This time around, they included a secret ‘mole’ who fed information from the recruits to the DS.
The inclusion of a spy and the return to the ‘spiritual home’ of the SAS in rugged Scotland has made this year’s competition the toughest to date.
Think you can do better? Here’s how to apply for the next series of SAS: Who Dares Wins.

SAS Who Dares Wins 2021 location: Raasay
The 2021 series is filmed in Raasay, Scotland.
Raasay, which is known for its difficult terrain and challenging weather, is where the series has been filmed for the 2020 series.
Meanwhile, the 2019 series was filmed high up in the Andes Mountains in Central Chile, in an abandoned ex-military forward operating base.
Why did the show change to include women?
For the first time in history, the British Ministry of Defence has changed their selection criteria for the SAS, allowing women to apply in 2019.
To reflect the military changes, SAS: Who Dares Wins welcomed both male and female recruits for last year’s show and will pit them against one other with no rules changes based on gender.
It is assumed this will continue for the next series too.
