“True Ninja Warrior fans are really gonna appreciate how we went back to the basics…” said Gbajabiamila. “You’re gonna see a lot of the iconic obstacles of the past make their return. And it’s a really cool thing because some of these Ninjas who are competing, they have never competed on these obstacles ’cause they weren’t even born.”

How to Watch American Ninja Warrior Online
American Ninja Warrior Season 17 airs on NBC, but fans without cable can tune in using any live TV streaming service that carries the channel. One of our favorites is Hulu + Live TV, which carries 100 channels, including NBC for ANW streams.
There are a few packages to choose from when signing up for Hulu + Live TV (all of them start with a three-day free trial if you want to jump in right now). Plans start at $81.99 a month. Here’s a breakdown of your three options:
- Hulu (With Ads) + Live TV, Disney+ (With Ads), and ESPN+ (With Ads): $82.99/month.
- Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV, Disney+ (No Ads), and ESPN+ (With Ads): $95.99/month.
- Live TV Only (no ESPN+, Disney+, or Hulu on-demand): $81.99/month.
The most bang for your buck, in our opinion, is the $82.99 a month plan that includes ads on the extra streaming services.
