'New level of gameplay, strategy and competitiveness': The Floor returns to Nine
One winner and $200,000 grand prize on the line.
The Floor is set to return to Nine, following its breakout debut as the network’s top new show of 2025.
Hosted by Rodger Corser, the new season will see 81 contestants compete on a giant interactive LED arena, battling through trivia duels to take control of the floor.
Each contestant enters with a specialist subject, aiming to win head-to-head challenges, conquer tiles and ultimately claim the entire arena.
Only one contestant will take home the $200,000 grand prize.
New twists and gameplay
This season introduces expanded gameplay elements, including the return of the Time Boost, which gives contestants a lifeline during duels, and The Freeze, allowing players to protect their territory and strategically advance.
The format also leans into a generational battle, with contestants ranging from experienced trivia players to younger competitors, adding a new dynamic to the competition.
Among the contestants are recognisable Australian personalities, including Olympic gold medallist Steven Bradbury, celebrity chef Hayden Quinn, Travel Guides personality Kevin Moloney, and Love Island Australia contestant Tommy Armour.
