Series 83 is the current series of Countdown and the eighteenth series presented by Nick Hewer, with some episodes presented by Colin Murray. It was preceded by three special episodes after the finals of Series 82, and began on 4 January 2021.

Filming began in October 2020. Social distancing guidelines introduced in the second half of the previous series, including a ban on studio audiences, remained in place; it remains unknown when or how these will be lifted, but are likely to be followed throughout the entirety of this series. Editions filmed during November 2020 – the second England lockdown – were helmed by Colin Murray due to Nick Hewer shielding at the insistence of his family, making this the first regular series to have more than one host (8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 16 notwithstanding). Nick announced on his first day back that he would retire at the end of the year; his final episode date is not yet known. In addition, a recording block on 11, 12 and 13 January – the first during the third England lockdown, and during which editions intended for broadcast between 5 and 23 March would have been filmed – had to be delayed due to Nick Hewer shielding again, Colin Murray being unavailable, two out of three Dictionary Corner guests dropping out and only seven of fifteen contestants being available.

Apterite James Burley is currently participating in the series.

Since Series 60, players are sorted by number of wins, then by number of points. Points from both wins and losses count. Points from sudden death conundrums are not counted, and players with the same number of wins and points are sorted by the number of conundrums correctly guessed, then highest single-game score.
