After weeks of fierce competition, unforgettable runways, and drama we never, ever saw coming, RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 is heading into its grand finale — and it's happening Friday, April 18 at 8/7c on MTV. Oh, and in case you missed the gag: Liza Minnelli will be making her Drag Race debut during the finale. Yes, the Liza Minnelli.

That said, it's time to learn where to watch the RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 finale.

Only four queens remain: Jewels Sparkles, Onya Nurve, Sam Star, and Lexi Love — and they're all still very much in the running. Jewels has become a fan favorite with her charm and polish, Onya's shown undeniable strength week after week, Sam with her old Hollywood smile, and Lexi has had her stumbles, sure, but she's still proving she's a serious contender. It really could be anyone's season.

Of course, we're still recovering from Hormona Lisa's now-iconic "non–shake-and-go" moment. (Let's be real, that wig shook and went.) But with only a couple episodes left, the energy is building, the stakes are high, and the queens are pulling out every last trick in the book to snatch that crown.

You can catch the finale this Friday, April 18 at 8 p.m. ET on MTV, and stream them live or the next day with a streaming platform. And don't forget RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked! — because the tea behind the scenes might just be spicier than the main stage.
