A group of elite athletes is going to be competing on arguably the most challenging course yet in their quest for the title of Grand Champion (and, of course, the prize money doesn’t hurt). But where can you watch the show, and is it available to stream? We have all the answers you need!
Where Can You Watch ‘American Ninja Warrior?’

What Do We Know About ‘American Ninja Warrior’ Season 17?
Ahead of the “American Ninja Warrior” Season 17 premiere, we are taking a look at what we know and a few things we don’t. Firstly, hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila and Matt Iseman will return for another season, joined by co-host Zuri Hall.
The longtime hosts are not the only familiar faces returning for this season, and fans of the show will recognize a few “American Ninja Warrior” veterans, in addition to new competitors. Iseman hinted at some of the stories that will be highlighted in an interview with TV Insider on June 2. “You see the next steps of the Bergstrom Bunch and the Beckstrand, Behrends out of Iowa. You see them grow and expand the influence they’ve had on ninja,” Iseman said.
In Season 17, competitors will also be competing head-to-head, making for a more thrilling and high-energy finish. This is something that Iseman commented on in an interview with NBC Insider on May 8. “These athletes push each other to be more aggressive, to be more athletic, to take bigger risks,” he said.
Also in the interview, Iseman discussed how things would be different this season and how the show has worked to iron out a few issues from previous seasons. “This season is really looking at the future of Ninja but also celebrating the past…” Iseman shared. “We saw some upsets that you never would’ve predicted in a million years. And then we saw redemptions that just made your heart swell. So the season was filled with so many highlights and so many incredible moments.”
The Obstacle Course Is Changing
A few of the old obstacles were reintroduced for this season, including Cannonball Alley, which adds a nostalgic element to the competition. “We actually brought back a lot of the old ones, which is really cool,” Gbajabiamila told TVInsider on June 2 about what audiences can expect from the obstacle course. “We have some throwbacks because we wanted to pay homage to some of the throwback ninjas.”
On your mark, get set, go … watch!
