“[American Ninja Warrior] is a unique competition that it is about the people and the stories and it has a lot of unique characteristics," ANW executive producer Arthur Smith told Deadline. "Where else do you have athletes rooting for each other? Where else do you have women and men competing on the same course? We have a community and there’s so many positive values."

ANW often introduces rule changes, but if the 2024 championship is like last year, the competition will feature two rounds of relay-style obstacles. As the teams race to beat their competing couples, teams earn one point for every obstacle they complete. The two couples who've proven they have the grit and power to beat the rest duke it out on the Power Tower for the bragging rights and grand prize. The first Couple's Championship winners were Kyle Soderman and Megan Johnson from Austin, TX.
