We know a lot of you have been waiting for word on this, and it looks like the time has come!

Casting is now open for season 14 of American Ninja Warrior! Submit an application by December 10, 2021 to be considered.

We noticed a couple of things on the casting page. It does say that the age limit is 19. Does that mean teens won’t be involved next year? Not sure. Selected teens were invited for season 13 so maybe the producers are taking that route again.

It also seems like the show will travel once more, and return to Las Vegas. These lines were quite telling:

You must be available to participate in your regional qualifying round, which will take place in March, April and/or May, 2022 (specific locations, dates and times TBD). If qualified or selected to be a finalist, you must be available to participate in the national finals in Las Vegas, NV, with specific dates and times TBD.

The application process consists of a lengthy questionnaire and a video. The video portion can be tricky for some. That’s why we’ve gathered some suggestions and hints for you!
