What channel is Gladiators on TV today? BBC start time and how to watch

• Gladiators is back with a brand new episode this evening.
• Two new Gladiators have joined the cast for the 2025 series.
• Find out how to watch - and if it is moved for the Six Nations.

Gladiators is back and once again has a prime slot on the BBC this weekend. The beloved 90s series was revived last year and is now in its second series.

Originally running on ITV throughout the 1990s, it was first revived in the 2000s by Sky. It is now on its third different broadcaster since it first conquered our screens more than 30 years ago.

It might mean that viewers are a bit confused about which channel exactly the new Gladiators show is on - and leaving them at risk of missing the new episode. Audiences might wonder if the schedule will be switched around as the Six Nations starts.
