The sixth installment of the sports entertainment reality competition series Australian Ninja Warrior debuted on 27 June 2022, airing on the Nine Network. The season features hosts Leila McKinnon, Jim Courier, alongside Will & Woody as commentators.

Production

On 15 September 2021, Nine confirmed the show's renewal for a sixth season during its upfront presentations. In October 2021, Ben Fordham stepped down from his hosting duties. The following month, Nine disclosed that Rebecca Maddern's contract would not be extended, resulting in her immediate exit and resignation as host. By January 2022, Jim Courier and Leila McKinnon were announced as the new hosts, with Will & Woody joining as sideline commentators.

Format Changes

  • Power round - Superseding the power tower, this season introduces the power pool. The top four competitors from each round face off in two phases: a water chase, rope climb, three laches, followed by a final rope to the buzzer. Winners move on to a concluding round where the champion secures an advantage for the semi-finals.
    • Advantage - The victor of the power pool selects their opponent for the semi-final stage.
  • Semi-finals - For the first time ever, semi-finals consist of direct head-to-head races; winners advance straight to the Grand Final.
    • Advantage - The competitor with the fastest time earns an edge in the Grand Final.
  • Grand final - Stage 1 is conducted as a head-to-head race; winners must then complete within a set time limit to progress to stage 2.
