'Delighted to kick off the new year and welcome viewers back into the BattleBox with 14 all-new episodes filled with some of the most intense bot battles we've ever seen,' said Scott Lewers, EVP Multiplatform Programming Discovery Factual & Head of Content, Science.

After missing the 2020 season, Blacksmith, Minotaur, DUCK! and Icewave make their triumphant returns to wage war against fan favorites Witch Doctor, SawBlaze, Hydra, Whiplash and Valkyrie, but only one will be crowned the top bot in the world. Former title holder Tombstone returns to the BattleBox. Rivals meet again, more determined than ever to be victorious. Will they succeed, or will the trophy find a new home in Europe, Asia or South America? New Zealand's End Game currently has the trophy, but teams from the USA are determined to bring it back to America. Each night a vicious lineup of bots battle for their lives in the iconic BattleBox but only the toughest will live to see the next round. More than 60 teams travel to Las Vegas for a chance to take home the greatest prize in the sport: The Giant Nut.

This season, bots from around the globe descend upon Las Vegas for a battle to the death in the new season of BATTLEBOTS returning to Discovery on Thursday, January 6 at 8 PM ET/PT. Who's ready for a Sin City showdown? BATTLEBOTS, the world's premier robot fighting competition, is back and more ferocious than ever.
