List of ninjas selected to compete on Season 15 of American Ninja Warrior 2023 (or Season 16)

Over February & March 2023, calls went out to invite ninjas to compete on Season 15 of American Ninja Warrior in 2023.

Note that some ninjas are actually getting invited to be on Season 16 of American Ninja Warrior at the same time. Both seasons are filming back to back in early 2023, although it isn’t clear right now when Season 16 of ANW will air.

Thus, some of the ninjas on the list below might not appear in the upcoming Season 15 of ANW – but rather next season. At this point, we don’t have a way to tell who was invited for which season – so we’ll just have to keep an eye out for the first episode of Season 15 of ANW to air to find out (which starts on June 5, 2023).

If you know of any ninjas who got the call that we’ve missed – just let us know in the comments and we’ll add them.
