There’s a schedule switch-up happening tonight (Monday, July 20) and next week for American Ninja Warrior.

The hit NBC series will air one hour earlier than usual this week, as well as next week’s episode (Monday, July 27).

When Is American Ninja Warrior airing on July 20 and July 27?

American Ninja Warrior will be airing from 8-10 p.m. ET on NBC and next day on Peacock, rather than the usual 9-11 p.m. ET time slot.

Why Is American Ninja Warrior getting a time change?

After July 27, American Ninja Warrior will return to its original time slot at 9 p.m. ET. 

What is happening in Season 18 of the show?
