8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 28 is a series of special episodes that began on 25 July 2025. These episodes followed a hiatus of the show in 2024, with filming having resumed earlier in 2025.

Starting with this Series, during the Introduction, the suffix "Guest" from Team Captains has been dropped. This could possibly be due to Jon Richardson joining the cast of Waterloo Road in April 2025, indicating that he has less time to appear on the show and may no longer be considered a regular cast of the show moving forward.
