American Ninja Warrior 16 is the sixteenth season of American Ninja Warrior, and the first season after Daniel Gil and Vance Walker's total victories in the previous season.
It was revealed in the leaked acceptance letter that this season, alongside American Ninja Warrior 15, will be filmed. Details on when this season will air in relation to American Ninja Warrior 15 were a year apart. Casting for this season, unbeknownst to the general public, closed on December 16, 2022.
As a result of this dually-structured filming, the following changes are happening these two seasons:
- This season is filmed after each part of American Ninja Warrior 15 wraps up. For example, Qualifiers for American Ninja Warrior 15 were filmed, in a few days time, Qualifiers for this season were filmed and so on.
- That means some competitors will be in the Semifinals and/or Las Vegas National Finals solely for one season or the other.
- Some competitors may not be available for both seasons, however, so this doesn't mean every competitor competed in American Ninja Warrior 15 will be featured in this season (such as Barclay Stockett, Jera Boyd, Jonathan Godbout, Ethan Bartnicki, Hans Hertz, Isaiah Wakeham, Evan Andrews, Jonathan Bange, Ian Dory, Grant McCartney, and Joseph Rouse).
- However, several slots are purposely vacant, and competitors who were not initially called but did well would occupy these slots (such as Taylor Greene and Madelyn Madaras).
- The Mega Wall's prize money was increased to US$20,000 or 2% of the million-dollar prize according to Zuri.
- Due to the aforementioned filming schedule, the format is identical with the previous season.
- Similar to previous seasons, most of the episodes are two hours long excluding the following episodes which were one hour long:
- Excluding the fourth and fifth episode showcasing the last two qualifiers respectively.
- Similar to Wildcards, Legacy Invites are given to select competitors who did not qualify for the national finals but were invited to compete due to their impact on the show. Two Legacy Invites appeared in the National Finals (both on Stage One): Ryan Stratis (who was eliminated in the semifinals) and Jesse Labreck. The latter is the first to compete in the national finals without competing in the qualifying or the semifinals rounds of the same season.
- Similar to SASUKE 39, the course received minor renewal to increase the difficulty following a Total Victory, but to a much lesser extent compared to past instances as the course would be identical to the previous season with only two new obstacles at the National Finals.
