Hosts Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbajabiamila, along with co-host Zuri Hall, will return to 'American Ninja Warrior' Season 15.

How much prize money does the winner of 'American Ninja Warrior' take home?
The athletes will compete for the whopping prize in 'American Ninja Warrior' Season 15. Notably, the prize fund has grown to quite an astonishing amount throughout the seasons. According to NBC, the ninja who completes all six final obstacles takes home a whopping $1 million. Interestingly, 'American Ninja Warrior' doesn't allocate the $1 million prize to a winner in every single season of the show.
