Two-hour live arena tour of the BBC series Gladiators, with the Gladiators, fan-favourite challenges and the Eliminator finale.
Gladiators Live Tour comes to Utilita Arena on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November 2026, with matinee performances on both days. It's a two-hour live adaptation of the television show, and the tour is billed as louder, faster and more spectacular than before.
On stage, the Gladiators return to face a field of contenders across a series of events, fan-favourite challenges, breathtaking stunts and head-to-head battles, all building to the Eliminator finale. The arena is transformed into a modern gladiatorial battleground with purpose-built sets, spectacular lighting and cinematic staging, and stars from the hit BBC series are among the names involved.
This follows a successful 2025 debut that sold more than 200,000 tickets, and the 2026 run takes in seven UK cities. Beyond the live stage, the brand remains active: the Gladiators Experience is open in Birmingham, the fourth series is recording for BBC One and iPlayer, and American Gladiators is rebooting on Prime Video.
