With the 40th season of Jeopardy! winding down—the finale is set for Friday, July 26—we’re already looking ahead to when we’ll see some of its players again, for the upcoming Tournament of Champions.

Any player with four or more wins during the regular season of gameplay (which began on April 10, 2024) is eligible for a future Tournament of Champions. That includes so far 15-game winner Adriana Harmeyer and Drew Basile (also a Survivor alum), along with two five- and four-game winners. Executive producer Michael Davies revealed on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast that the next postseason (which includes this tournament) has been moved to the first quarter of 2025.

Also competing will be the winner of Celebrity Jeopardy! Season 2, Lisa Ann Walter. Season 1’s winner, Ike Barinholtz, made it to the semifinals in the last ToC.

Scroll down as we’re keeping track of all the players eligible for the next Tournament of Champions, along with how many games each won (and total winnings). Let us know who you think has what it takes to win this ToC in the comments section, below.

    That's not many contestants to compose a TOC, and with the current season ending soon, they're gonna have to look elsewhere to fill it out if they want to have it in early 2025.

    I think they were all pretty strong, but I would like to see Adriana win. Only one of them I did not care for, but it is only my opinion. A personality thing.

    The tournaments were necessary due to the writers' strike and Jeopardy's insistence on not re-using old clues in the new season. Granted, the strike ended quicker than they anticipated and they had already committed to more rounds of Second Chance and Wild Card play. But, I enjoyed those tournaments because most of the players were so very good and the competition was fairly intense.
