The season reverted back to beginning with regular competition.
The opening graphics are the same as the second part of Season 40.
On early episodes of this season:
The game board still had 36 individual monitors.
The Final Jeopardy! monitor was still mounted on two rectangular posts.
Starting with the October 14, 2024 episode, the game board is one big screen, and the Final Jeopardy! monitor has been modified, the category is highlighted upon clue selection (similar to Celebrity Jeopardy! Seasons 2 and 3 and Jeopardy! Masters Season 2), and Ken approaches the individual lecterns for the contestant interviews.
Starting with the December 30, 2024 episode, the show's logo appears in the ceiling like Pop Culture Jeopardy! and the audience applauses coming out of the last commercial break, similar to Celebrity Jeopardy! Seasons 2 and 3.
Celebrity Jeopardy! has been upgraded to the following:
The celebrity's charity is shown onscreen during the first Contestant Chat.
The winner of the quarterfinal and semifinal game now shows advances on the contestants podium in blue font and white surroundings.
The subtitles 'advances to (semi)finals' is now a single line instead of double.
The globe is on the right side of the screen.
The amount earned for charities is in white font and blue surroundings.
The Second Chance Tournament, Champions Wildcard Tournament, the Tournament of Champions, and the Invitational Tournament are held during this season.
After these tournaments, the rest of the season will be regular play.
