American Ninja Warrior 17 is the seventeenth season of American Ninja Warrior, and the first season after Caleb Bergstrom and Vance Walker's total victories from the previous season.

Casting was announced in early June, and applications closed on July 31st, 2024, with all rounds being filmed in Las Vegas from September 23rd to October 5th, 2024.

This season featured significant changes compared to previous seasons:

  • It is a celebration of American Ninja Warrior's past, present, and future, featuring iconic obstacles from previous seasons, fan favorite ninjas who returned after several seasons away, and well-known active ninjas.
    • Each episode highlighted some of the most memorable moments from the show's history:
      • QF EP 1: Wildest Wipeouts
      • QF EP 2: Best Costumes
      • QF EP 3: Matt and Akbar’s Best Moments
      • QF EP 4: (Un)forgettable Moments
      • QF EP 5: Start Line Moments
      • QF EP 6: Wildest Moments
      • SF EP 1: Best Sidelines
      • SF EP 2: Greatest Saves
      • SF EP 3: Memorable Celebrities
      • National Finals: Top 20 Memorable Moments
  • The qualifying rounds featured a traditional six-obstacle course. The top 15 men and top 5 women in each episode advanced to the semifinals.
    • This rule is similar to those of the previous two seasons, but unlike those seasons, in which the leaderboards were separated by gender, both leaderboards were consolidated into a single top 20 leaderboard.
    • The rules for the Mega Wall utilized since American Ninja Warrior 15 returned. Completing the Mega Wall earned a cash prize of $10,000.
  • The semifinal rounds utilized the ten-obstacle course for the first time since American Ninja Warrior 14. The top 17 men and top 3 women in each episode advanced to the National Finals.
    • Akin to qualifying, these leaderboards were consolidated into a single top 20 leaderboard.
  • The National Finals featured the most drastic changes. The four-stage course, a staple since American Ninja Warrior 4, was replaced with a head-to-head racing competition, featuring memorable obstacles from the show’s history. The format was as follows:
    • Group Stage: The 60 finalists were divided into 15 groups of four, seeded based on their semifinals result. All finalists raced against three other finalists in their group, with the top two winning competitors advancing to the next round.
      • If only two ninjas are tied, it is determined by their head-to-head result against each other. If three or more ninjas are tied, it is determined by fastest time across all races and if still tied obstacle progress. The moment that a 3 or 4-way tie goes to a 2-way tie, their head-to-head result determines who advances or get a higher seed, not by continuing with any additional steps.
      • Two different courses were used; each group used one course for their matches. As such, two losing competitors with the best result on each course would move on as a wildcard.
    • Knockout Stage: The 32 remaining finalists competed in a single elimination tournament to determine the Ultimate Champion, who won a $250,000 cash prize (the same prize money established on American Ninja Warrior 2).
