Nine has announced three major sponsors for its first season of the all new, adrenaline-charged Australian Ninja Warrior.

The major brands set to harness the power of the worldwide Ninja Warrior phenomenon are KFC, Advil and Berocca.

“We are tremendously excited that KFC, Advil and Berocca have all chosen to partner with us on the first season of a show that has been a television sensation in markets around the world.”

As part of their sponsorship, KFC will have on-ground branding over the course, and in particular the family and friends supporters area. This will be extended to the Ninja Support Crew content online on 9Now.

Advil will also have on-ground branding on the course, on the screen timer, leaderboard and break engagers, while Berocca will have ownership of the performance of the night replay in the show and online.

Australian Ninja Warrior will see 250 ordinary mums and dads, doctors, tradies, athletes and celebrities competing in the quest for one goal: to claim the crown of Australia’s first Ninja Warrior.

The diverse range of competitors will line up to take their shot at the most difficult obstacle course in the world, with Rebecca Maddern, Ben Fordham and Freddie Flintoff calling their every move on Ninja Island.

The first season of Australian Ninja Warrior debuts Sunday, July 9, at 7.00pm on Channel Nine and 9Now.
