Exatlon is a reality competition series where two teams of physically fit contestants compete against each other. The teams are composed of athletes (such as current and former Olympians), sports professionals and celebrities on one team and ordinary people with athletic ability, from all walks of life on the other team. All must have strong physical skills and sporting abilities.
Exatlon is a team-oriented competition which moves to an individual mode in its final weeks, culminating in a final round where a male and female are crowned the Exatlon champions. The format varies in certain markets where the male and female compete in the final for one of them to be crowned the Exatlon champion.
