For this season, to get one attempt for the Mega Wall, which was increased to 18.5 feet high, contestants must finish the course in less than 1 minute and 20 seconds a contestant who completes the Mega Wall still gets an immediate reward of $10,000 (promoted by Wells Fargo). The qualifying course starts from Pole Vault and ends on Warped Wall. In the same season, Daniel Gil became the third ninja to achieve total victory, but completed the rope climb slower than Walker. This season set a new record with 8 competitors all advancing to Stage 4, and also crowned the second grand prize winner in Vance Walker, who not only became the fourth ninja to achieve "Total Victory", but had previously won American Ninja Warrior Junior twice.
This season, both Qualifying and Semifinals were entirely held in Universal City in Los Angeles, while the National Finals returned to its usual spot in Las Vegas. A spin-off from the Japanese reality series Sasuke, it is hosted by Matt Iseman, Akbar Gbaja-Biamila, and Zuri Hall. The 15th season of the American game show television series American Ninja Warrior premiered on June 5, 2023, on NBC.
