Each episode consists of four players, known as 'contenders' – two male and two female – competing in a series of physically challenging events against the show's resident 'Gladiators', a group of elite athletes – like bodybuilders or track and field athletes – and eventually competing in one final event, the Eliminator. The series consists of the heats, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and a grand final, to determine the overall champions.

The series is presented by Bradley Walsh and his son, Barney. It is refereed by Mark Clattenburg and voice-over commentated by Guy Mowbray.

Upon its release, the revived series of Gladiators has become one of the most successful family entertainment launches for the BBC in 7 years.
