Roach holds the fifth longest streak in the TV game show's history.
Canadian Jeopardy champion Mattea Roach will return to TVs everywhere next month for the show's tournament of champions.
Roach, who hails from Nova Scotia and now calls Toronto home, earned her spot in the tournament this spring, when she won 23 consecutive games in the regular season.
It's the fifth-longest streak in the TV game show's history.
The pre-recorded tournament begins airing on Monday, but Roach isn't set to appear until Nov. 8, when she'll compete in an exhibition game against contestants Amy Schneider and Matt Amodio, two other so-called "super-champions" from the past year.
All three super-champions have earned byes into the semifinals. Roach is scheduled to compete on Nov. 10 to earn a spot in the best-of-seven finals.
Schneider holds the second-longest streak, having won 40 games, while Amodio is in the third spot with 38.
Roach, Schneider and Amodio will then compete against a larger pool of contestants for the tournament of champions' semifinal round later in the week.
