SARATOGA SPRINGS — The NBC hit television show American Ninja Warrior was the catalyst behind the Saratoga Ninja Lab, and now three of their athletes will be competing on the newest season. 

The next American Ninja Warrior could be Jenson Little, André Patnode, or Emily Holmes – all three have gotten the call to be on the next season of the show. 

“These three athletes worked incredibly hard. It’s time for them to test their skills and shine on the big stage,” stated Geoff Snyder, Head Team Coach and Co-Owner at the Albany and Saratoga Ninja Labs. “They will have a lot of cheering fans from the Capital Region.” 

The 14th season American Ninja Warrior will be airing sometime this year; no official date has been announced, but the show typically airs sometime in mid to late May. American Ninja Warrior shows some of the most elite athletes from around the country competing on the world’s most difficult obstacle courses to win a $1 million dollar prize. The winner of that prize is the contestant that can conquer all four stages at the finals after making through the qualifying rounds and semifinals. 

Many details are still under wraps, as the show has yet to begin taping. The qualifying round will be held March 20-24 in San Antonio, Texas, the semifinals will be held April 8-11 in Los Angeles, CA, and the finals will be held on May 14-17 in Las Vegas, NV. Producers have revealed that the show will look similar to season 13, which aired in 2021.
