The Season 15 American Ninja Warrior Semi-Finals are upon us, and the race to the $1 million grand prize and honor of becoming Champion has never been more intense.

How to Watch

Watch American Ninja Warrior on NBC and Peacock

After eight nail-biting Qualifying Rounds, we're looking at a lineup of Ninjas all with eyes set on victory. To get there, they'll have to show more tenacity than ever. 

"With the biggest changes in show history, Season 15 will challenge the Ninjas to race side-by-side and head-to-head across a high-stakes course with a spot in the National Finals on the line," NBC announced in a statement. "Additionally, the Mega Wall is even taller than before at 18.5 feet and, for the first time ever, Ninjas will need to complete all six obstacles in a designated time in order to earn a shot at the $10,000 prize." 

For the first time in ANW history, Ninjas are racing head-to-head during the nail-biting Semi-Final rounds. The season continues to bring the heat as we see cherished fan favorites duking it out against friends, family members, and longtime rivals in riveting new challenges. 

Packed with gravity-defying new obstacles like "Greased Lighting" and shockingly difficult twists like "Pole Vault," the pressure is on. Who will meet the moment? 

"Seeing people go head-to-head gives you a different energy. A different experience. It’s something we haven’t done on the main show..." ANW Host Matt Iseman told TV Insider. "This year in the Semi-Finals they’ll be racing head-to-head. So either go fast or go home."
