8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 27 was a series of five special episodes that began on 03 January 2025 and ended on 31 January 2025, with a Best Bits compilation airing on 07 February 2025. As no episodes were filmed in 2024, this Series aired to clear out the remaining filmed episodes dating back to 2023.

Episode Cats165 first premiered on BBC UKTV in Australia and New Zealand on 31 January 2024 and was aired out of order as it was filmed back in 2022. This was also evident by the mechanical conundrum board still being present.
