	===City qualifying and finals===
	] ] city course filming view from ], looking out to ]. ]]

	In each city qualifier course, the competitors that the producers have selected compete on an obstacle course consisting of six obstacles. Descriptions of each obstacle in each course are provided by the sideline reporter at the beginning of an episode.

	At the beginning of each run, a buzzer sounds off, allowing a competitor to begin the course. A timer begins simultaneously. The first obstacle on any city qualifying course is the quintuple steps or floating steps, in which competitors must run across. This is followed by four different obstacles that test a competitors balance, upper-body strength and grip. These five obstacles are built above water. If a competitor falls into the water or touches it, their run ends immediately and the timer records their time.

	Until season nine, the sixth and final obstacle was the 14'6" warped wall, in which competitors are given three chances to reach the top. In season ten, the 18-foot "Mega Wall" was introduced adjacent to the warped wall. Competitors have only one attempt to reach the top of the Mega Wall, and if successful, will win $10,000. However, if unsuccessful, the competitor will only get one attempt at the warped wall. Competitors are given the choice of which to climb.

	At the top of both walls, there is a buzzer a competitor presses which stops the timer and records their time, ending their run on the course. The top 30 competitors who go the farthest the fastest advance to the city finals course. Since season nine, the top five women also advance to the city finals, regardless if they finished in the top 30.

	City finals courses are the follow-up to each city qualifying course. They contain four new obstacles, in addition to the six obstacles featured in the city qualifying course. These four obstacles are all placed after the original six obstacles. As of season ten, two of the original six obstacles are replaced with new obstacles for the city finals course.

	The top 15 competitors who go the farthest the fastest from each city finals course move on to compete on the National Finals course. As of season nine, the top two women in each city finals course also move on to compete on the National Finals course, even if they do not finish in the top 15. Small prizes ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 are awarded to first, second, and third finishers who complete the city finals course.<ref name="Season8Changes"/>

	Qualifying and finals courses are filmed back-to-back, usually over two nights. Obstacles are designed and produced in the five months prior to an episode taping, with 3–4 new ones per city. In season eight, 18 obstacles were debuted.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Lee \|first1=Nikki \|title=The fine points of American Ninja Warrior course evolution \|url=https://www.americanninjawarriornation.com/2017/1/10/14148190/the-fine-points-of-american-ninja-warrior-course-evolution \|website=American Ninja Warrior Nation \|accessdate=August 5, 2018 \|date=January 10, 2017}}</ref>

	The entire format was changed as well – regional qualifiers in different parts of the country were aired, and the Mt.

Like the previous year's competition, ''ANW'' hosts ] and ] chose their own all-star teams, this year composed of one veteran, one breakout star, and one woman. Team Matt featured Chris Wilczewski, Najee Richardson, and Jesse "Flex" Lebreck. Team Akbar featured Grant McCartney, Neil "Crazy" Craver, and Meagan Martin. Also, sideline interviewer ] got to pick her own team, which consisted of Jessie Graff, Flip Rodriguez, and Nicholas Coolridge. Teams competed as a relay race to finish sections of stages one, two, and three of the regular season finals course, Mt. Midoriyama.

	The all-star winners were '''Team Kristine''', who won the team relay race competition, beating Team Matt and last year's champions Team Akbar. Their highlight of the night was completing Stage 3 in a record time of 5:30:62, making this the '']'' Run of the Night.

	====2018====

	On May 17, 2018, NBC aired a third two-hour all-star special. Like the last two seasons' competition, ''ANW'' hosts ] and ], along with ], chose their own all-star teams, composed of two male veterans, and one female veteran. The reigning champs, Team Kristine (gray/pink) featured: Jessie Graff, Flip Rodriguez, and J.J. Woods. Team Matt (blue) featured: Jamie Rahn, Lance Pekus, and Jesse LaBreck. However, Team Akbar featured first-time all-stars: Allyssa Beird, Jon Alexis Jr., and Tyler Yamauchi.

	For the first half of the special, the athletes competed individuality, earning "skills medals". First was the "Skills Competition", which consisted of who can make it up the Super Salmon Ladder, 4 stories high and 35 rungs in the fastest time. '''Winner:''' Sean Bryan (19.39). And a test of how far the all-star ninjas can fly on the Wicked Wingnuts obstacle. '''Winner:''' Drew Drechsel (20 feet). They tested their upper body strength by racing head-to-head on the Thunderbolt. '''Winner:''' Jamie Rahn. Then, it was a speed and balance challenge on the Striding Steps. '''Winner:''' Jake Murray (28.76) This year, ''ANW'' debuted a new obstacle, the Mega Spider Climb, where the eight women all-stars raced side-by-side 80 feet up to the top of the Stage 4 tower. '''Winner:''' Jessie Graff, who won the tournament-style Stage 4 competition in a time of 24:03, making this the '']'' Run of the Night.

	The second half showcased the team competition: Stage 1 featured a relay race through the obstacles course. First racer goes through Snake Run, Propeller Bar and Double Dipper. Next racer tackles the Jumping Spider, Parkour Run and the Warped Wall. And the anchor runs through the Domino Pipes, and the Flying Squirrel. The other two teams compete on Stage 2 for the other spot in the finals. Team Kristine won Stage 1 and got a bye into Stage 3. Stage 2 featured the Giant Ring Swing, Criss Cross Salmon Ladder, Wave Runner, Swing Surfer, Wingnut Alley and the Wall Flip. Team Matt won and moved onto Stage 3, which featured Floating Boards, Key Lock Hang, the Nail Clipper, Ultimate Cliffhanger, the Body Prop, Peg Cloud, the Time Bomb and the Floating Bar.

	The all-star winners were once again '''Team Kristine''', who won the team relay race competition with a time of 6:12.06, beating Team Matt by only 5 seconds (6:17.96).
