Episode 8571 was broadcast on 30 July 2025, as part of Series 92.
Brett Davids played Paul Hegarty, with Brett Davids winning 119 – 80. The Dictionary Corner guest was Jon Culshaw, and the lexicographer was Susie Dent.
This game had two notable highlights:
- Davids' performance was a max game — the fifteenth in the history of Countdown and the third in a heat game in the new 15-round format.
- This was the fourth time that a max got achieved in a heat game in the 15-round format; the first coming from Kirk Bevins on 4 March 2009 (albeit in the old format), the second being Tom Stevenson's on 29 September 2022 and the third being Ronan Higginson's on 23 May 2023.
