Ninja Warrior France 9 was the ninth season of the regular International SASUKE/Ninja Warrior format in France, and the first season since the Total Victories of Clément Gravier and Matthias Noirel in Ninja Warrior France 8. The show was officially announced on December 9th, 2024. Then, the show was scheduled to be recorded from March 26th to March 31st, 2025, which then preceded to be impossible due to a rain delay that resulted in the recording taking longer than originally planned, and was recorded at Vieux Port de Cannes in Cannes, France. The premiere episode of the season will be aired on July 4th, 2025 at TF1. The hosts of this season, just as of the other seasons, were Denis Brogniart and Christophe Beaugrand, while the sideline reporter of this season was television presenter Anaïs Grangerac, who had replaced the sideline reporter of the last few seasons, Iris Mittenaere, due to a scheduling conflict on Mittenaere's side, making this season of Ninja Warrior France the first since Ninja Warrior France 2 in which Mittenaere was not the sideline reporter. This season saw the return of regular Ninja Warrior France after its break in 2024 due to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Qualifications[]
While not many exact information are known about the Qualififcations of this season, several different online images suggest that the direct duel Ninja vs. Ninja format used in the previous season will be applied here as well. There, two competitors would race against each other across six obstacles.
In addition, there would be two regular Warped Walls (blue and white walls) and a Mega Wall (red wall) being placed inbetween them once again. Competitors who would complete the Mega Wall would automatically win the match, as well as a TBA € cash prize and a straight spot in the Finals.

The Semifinals[]
This time, the Semifinals were run over in TBA episodes in total, with each Semifinal taking place right after the Qualification it represents (so Semifinal 1 would take place right after the end of Qualifier 1). There were TBA Semifinalists (TBA male and TBA female competitors) in each of the Semifinals, and all of them would have to compete in separate Ninja vs. Ninja matches. And similar to the previous season, two competitors would race against each other on a side-by-side course, with the winner in each match advancing to the Finals and the loser being eliminated from the competition. This time, however, each regular Semifinalist of a Ninja vs. Ninja match would have to face an internetional competitor.
Each Semifinal included TBA different International Competitors (TBA male and TBA female competitors), with each International Competitor racing against the Semifinalists of their respective gender. And just as with the Legend Competitors of Ninja Warrior France 8, the international opponent of a race here would be determined by the choice of the competitor who has to participate. Due to the above-mentioned fact, the final competitor would have to automatically compete against the last remaining International Competitor.
