Summer is here and it's time for another round of elite athletes competing on the world's toughest courses to see who can win the American Ninja Warrior season 15 crown. 

In American Ninja Warrior season 14 some of the show's youngest competitors joined seasoned veterans as they showed off their incredible athletic skills. In season 15, the stakes are even higher as warriors race on side-by-side courses, going head-to-head against their competition in a whole new way. 

While competitors always raced against the timer, now they'll have to face challenging new courses knowing their rivals are alongside them. 

Here's everything we know about American Ninja Warrior season 15.

"Season 15 of American Ninja Warrior returns with the most elite athletes in the country competing on the world’s most difficult obstacle courses. Hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila, along with co-host Zuri Hall, are back to call the action as the ninjas make their way through the qualifying and semifinal rounds in Los Angeles before moving to the national finals in Las Vegas. With the biggest changes in show history, Season 15 will challenge the ninjas to race side-by-side and head-to-head across a high-stakes course with a spot in the national finals on the line. Additionally, the Mega Wall is even taller than before at 18½ feet and, for the first time ever, ninjas will need to complete all six obstacles in a designated time in order to earn a shot at the $10,000 prize. Also at stake is a top prize of $1 million for the fastest ninja who can conquer all four stages at the national finals."
