The Gladiators TV show is a high-energy sports entertainment series where everyday contestants face off against elite athletes — the “Gladiators” — in a series of physical challenges testing strength, speed, and endurance.
Originally airing in the 1990s on ITV and revived in 2024 by the BBC, the show has returned to massive popularity with modern production and new events. The latest series is filmed at Utilita Arena Sheffield but often features promotional and live fan events in London, celebrating the iconic mix of athleticism and showmanship that made Gladiators a household name.
