Drag Race (season 14) is the fourteenth season of the hit reality television series, Drag Race.


The winner of the season will headline the Drag Race Tour, win a one-of-a-kind trip, a one-year supply of Cosmetics, a cash prize of $150,000, and the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar." For the first time, the runner-up also received a $50,000 prize.


The theme song playing during the runway every episode was "Who is She" and the song played during the credits was "Just What They Want", both from RuPaul's album Mamaru.


The premiere episode consisted of two 90-minute episodes, which saw the queens split in half, with seven competing in the first episode and the remaining seven in the second. Both sets of queens competing in the same variety show challenge: performing an original talent in front of the judges and a live audience.
