American Ninja Warrior

About the Show

"American Ninja Warrior" returns for its 10th season this summer and its seventh full season on NBC.

The action-packed series follows competitors as they tackle a series of challenging obstacle courses in both city qualifying and city finals rounds across the country. Those who successfully complete the finals course in their designated region move on to the national finals round in Las Vegas, where they face a stunning four-stage course modeled after the famed Mt. Midoriyama course in Japan. The winner will take home a grand prize of $1 million.  

New obstacles and several new cities await our competitors in their continuing quest for physical excellence. Hundreds of competitors will test their skills this season to see if they can make history and join Isaac Caldiero, who became the show's first winner in Season 7.

This season "American Ninja Warrior" will make stops in Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Minneapolis before heading to Las Vegas for the national finals.

"American Ninja Warrior" is based on the global hit "Sasuke," from Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, which is now in its 35th season in Japan.
 
The series is executive produced by A. Smith & Co. Productions' founders Arthur Smith and Kent Weed ("Hell's Kitchen," "NFL Pro Bowl Skills Showdown," "Unsung"), along with Brian Richardson and Anthony Storm.

Episodes available for purchase.
