Come back on regular television. 90% of your audience is waiting for that
Some of the build up was ok, I guess they had to advertise the War Robots game if its sponsoring faceoffs but felt misplaced. Hope we get some good matches when the rest airs, but really hope you can make a good TV deal soon for WC VIII and one that allows it to be aired internationally!
Too much lead up, pre-fight video. That said, hope y'all land a tv deal somewhere.
I loved it. It was over so quick, that split second delay in tombstone spinning up was all hypershock needed to destroy him. It's sad to see the king of kenetic energy made to look so ordinary but going to happen when everyone evolves in a way to beat them. Keep it coming!!!!!
Bring BattleBots back to real TV!
How do I watch BattleBots on my TV? Been a fan forever, but...
If this is the production value we can expect from the new season…yikes.
Needs to be back on hbo max asap
gee, thanks for the whole 8-minute clip. that was mighty generous of you after a two-year wait.
Bring this back to satellite tv
As much as I love Tombstone. Nothing has changed in 5 years or more. Sure it hits hard. Very hard. But not much defense. When it does hit, much of that energy is sent back into to structure of Tombstone. It often sends itself across the ring.
Do we know how long full episodes will be and how many fights per episode?
Awful one-sided fight no spoilers but I expected more
it’s a 8 minute video, the fight itself is MUCH shorter
The fight video could have been shot better. I want the show back on regular TV.
Love this video
Why did you title the video with "Sneak Peek" in it? That made me think it wasn't the actual fight and spoiled the result.
that's two heavy hitters right there.... sumbitch
What up with no more TV shows this sucks. THAT WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU GO WOKE
And now we need the full thing
Time for a re-re-rematch until we get the right results.
Great to finally get to watch again!!
I miss you on tv 📺. I have spoken...
When are you going to be back on TV?
Hypershock was in no mood to play!

Watch here: youtu.be/WZZHGeCkxzk
Actually watched the video now. Well done by BB with the editing and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of F/O Fucking LOVE the "You want some more?" back at Ray and Ray just laughing made me LOL! GREAT job by Alex, Will, Kyle, & the rest of the Hypershock team!
When will the new season air on TV?
We'll watch it in a little while. Looking forward to this new "series" on youtube. We can cast it to the TV and watch it on the "big screen."
Put it back on TV!!!!
Total domination by Alex Bales!
The only thing missing from that was Will going "If he dies... he dies!" afterward. :v
No spoilers, but holy crap!
Yay!!!! That was awesome, so fun to watch. Side note: I love how much Will loves Alex!, the way he looks at her <3
More BattleBots please, can't get enough
Was fun to watch . Hypershock really good with wife driving
Wow total domination!
Will you guys be back on TV
Slam, bam, thank you ma'am!!
Return of the King shall no longer refer to Lord Of The Rings, its in relation to BattleBots
Is BB ever coming back on t.v.? It's sad a show like this can't get renewed but a bunch of tacky, low IQ shows do.
Great to see it back on streaming sites. Great match too.
That was painful😂 Reapers still my favorite robot.
Que le hicieron a tombstone, si fuera el original no le hubiera pasado eso 😞😞😞😞
It was worthy. I won't spoil the fight if you haven't seen it but I will say there's fire and flying robots.
Susan Duncan
Richard Tindall
👍🏻😊
Alright.

Bring back to TV
Can you post a link please?
I just want a new season..
How do watch it ?
Glad to see you are taking this in your own hands. Who cares about tv anymore anyway.
Don't sing it,... bring it
I miss this not being on TV
Plz claim your redemption, Tombstone. I'm counting for all your improvements, from beyond the grave!🤞😁
Would be nice if we could watch this on our TV.
Sara Smith if you'd like, pass this info on to Micah; they're plugging it pretty big...doubt you can receive it, but shows how they plan to televise a new season
I would buy tickets to these!!
Ok yall gonna have some Episodes on YouTube? Ill watch. But I've got 'televised' expectations.
what about a pay per view? I am sure many of us would buy in just to get it back to production.
Great to see Tombstone back in the box for the first time since 2022! Facing the same opponent who knocked them out then no less!
Not a good matchup for Tombstone
Tombstone was one of my favorites from the og days, but Hypershock is an absolute masterpiece. Gonna be a goodun
I only watch it on You Tube as I can't watch it in UK. The UK version was rubbish. It would be even better if they retired Tombstone (and its operator.)
🪦 was good for a season now everyone mops the floor with him
I can't wait
I'm so happy, but I so wish it could be on Network TV, it's so much better. All in all though, idk, I'm just happy to watch my FAVORITE OF ALL TIME SHOW!!!!!!
When is it actually going to show on TV
You Tube should be where this is broadcasted.

Tooooooomb Stooooooone!!! ☠️
Is Battlebots on TV anymore and if so, what channel?

Needs to be back on tv
Sad this isn’t on tv anymore
Needs to be back on tv
Ooo does this mean Alex is driving instead of will. She did a great job in last tournament
Networks don't know what good entertainment is.. this show blows most content out of the water for pure entertainment for every age group. GIVE US BATTLEBOTS!!! 😝
i don't mind watching on youtube but maybe they can get a contract with Motortrend or one of those other streaming apps, dare i say Disney+ lol
Isn't this the ReMars fight that was like 2 years ago now
The amount of people that think Battlebots is choosing not to be on television, is too damn high.
Apple tv should buy this, it fits their sci-fi style and they don't have much stuff like it
What channel is it on?
Is this going to be on You Tube or You Tube TV?
We want the whole thing, and new season
Bring back battle bots to TV!!!!!
Did will bales retire?
Tombstone wins flawless victory.
I miss this being on Discovery Channel 😓
I'm disappointed this is not on TV anymore but not surprised. The show got stale from the same teams competing with little to no innovation. Yet, the show was more exciting due to increased battery power creating more devastating hits. There needs to be a pull in for innovation from less known "minor" league robot fighting teams or a yearly rules change. Otherwise sadly, this version has runned it's course.
Need to have this on prime video. Sick of almost needing a different streaming service per show. DVR was where we peaked
Last fight of these bots was amazing so a rematch will be fantastic 😀😀😁😀
More free great but they need a TV deal can't understand why they haven't there's 1000s of channels
Yes bring it back to TV.. please
Hypershock, horizontal spinners don't seem to like facing verts
Will this show ever come back to tv? We so miss it
The last YouTube episode was so bad we couldn't even make it through the whole thing. Last season was fantastic, though, I hope it picks back up again.
Why the hell isn’t this back on tv yet 😤😡🤬

Will there no longer be new competitions aired on TV?
Thank You so much! Can’t wait for premiere! Max Ang Yoo mate it’s happening!
Need to add the YouTube link to your post!
We’re coming to the Vegas show March 26th. Is there anywhere we can see what robots will be featured?
Is this same as supports face off
So no more Discovery TV?
When does it air on TV. Been waiting
Please post the you tube link for this
Heck yeah! I'm so excited!
It's finally here!
Why did you people have to get a sponsorship from THE MOST AWFUL PAY TO WIN FREE TO PLAY GAME EVER MADE??? Seriously you could at least get a better sponsor than War Robots. That game is awful for a reason. I mean have you seen all of the user reviews for that game online? They all say the same thing: scummy microtransactions, lots of grinding, VERY MUCH P2W involving spending real money just to have an advantage. Watch this video and you’ll have a much better idea on what kind of tactics these devs use: m.youtube.com/watch?v=xNjI03CGkb4&t=1s&pp=2AEBkAIB
Yeah! Finally good news! My 5th graders will be so happy to watch new matches! Yep you are my snack break watch with my little monsters in school! 😛
Will the regular tournament season come back? Been difficult to keep track of all the mini updates and series.
WCVIII… come on.
Really hope you can make this work, I love stuff like NHRL but it's not the same as heavyweights that Battlebots allows, nothing is like Battlebots I hope you're able to get funding for this in a way that doesn't get in the way of the show but hopefully allows for longevity of the show
This is a good move! Excited to be able to watch again.
I will watch this on the TV with ad’s so BattleBots gets something out of it. Basically, not on my phone with the ad blockers.
You know what, I love BattleBots and I will watch it in any format that's available. Subscribed!
BattleBots so when does the actual series start on Youtube ? I see you posted the March 11 sneek peak, but it also says you have a new series coming, will it be soon ? 🙂
Can you retroactively change all the heat results so that La Machine wins all of them? Please and thank you
Great news BattleBots! I hope whatever deal you make allows for new seasons to be aired internationally, what about Netflix or something? Or even pay on YouTube I'm sure many fans would do that.
What channel will this be on in Canada?
Is it the same announcers from when it aired on TV?
Great news! Just FYI, I think a lot of people would be willing to pay for an online streaming BB season. It’s the only reason I was paying for Discovery+, and it would make more sense to skip the middleman and just give you the money.😆
Battlebots is the best! I was super sad the first time it went off air! Glad there's a way to still watch!!!

It was a fun video to make! This sport has given me some amazing moments!
Great video that one.
For a long time my favourite has been New Zealand's End Game. Both Uk's Robot Wars and the USA's Battlebots. heavily influenced the story line in my recently published novel.“ The boy who loved robots.” I regularly watched Robot Wars, and I was very sad when it stopped being broadcast. The initial inspiration for "The boy who loved robots." had come about because my elder son had been tasked with the idea of building a Lego robot as part of his computer course at university. My father was one of the Bawdsey Manor Radar Pioneers, and was a brilliant electronic engineer and a very good mechanical engineer, so it should not seem surprising that I myself have learnt quite a lot about the two disciplines required for building remotely controlled robots. Whilst I do not build robots myself, I was inspired by the fact that the Robot Wars teams were often not just boys, and the whole business of stereotyping came out quite forcibly in the story which is "The boy who loved robots." Because of the grief aspect of this book, care should be taken if you are contemplating giving this book to someone under the age of 12. Claire Rosemary Jane.
Witchdoctor....you can't keep losing these finals against shite bots that are nowhere near as good as u,BUT you need to change ur bot slightly depending on yr opponent....yr front ramps are quite right for facing tombstone and horizontal spinners as such,but for shite bots like tantrum you NEEDED a much bigger slant to get under them and stop bullying u around the box!!!....please,I really want u to win a trophy so just look at yr bot depending on whom u are facing Mike....

Will Bales had the best answer. 🤑
Get battlebots back on something. I know someone would take you. Netflix would probably give you more money than discovery was.
Will sorry to say but I will be leaving this site until BattleBots returns to TV and if it does not come back on TV then I will not return to this site goodbye
If I subscribe to this Facebook group will that let me watch the fight? I am for sure having some withdraws of not being able to watch the fights anymore please let it come back on tv.
I took my child for his 14th birthday to Las Vegas (fr Wisconsin) for his dream trip to see the Battlebots- and they cancelled the show less than 24 hours before it was supposed to happen. He is on the spectrum. He did not and still does not understand why we couldn't go to see the Battlebots.. hotel, plane ticket, VIP seats and quite a bit of money I could have put toward therapy rather than WASTED on what was supposed to be his biggest wish of his life. .....Which is a drop in the bucket compared to his disappointment. Thanks for nothing, including an applogy battlebots.
Is this ever going to be televised? I miss watching it.
I just want a new championship. 🙁
When is Battlebots going to be on TV again ??????
Will there be any new episodes BattleBots
BattleBots BattleBots Fans Is the action coming back to television? I think you were on Discovery.
Cool but I really need wc8 it's been over a year
I have 4 tickets to the event. Unfortunately, my son's eye surgery was scheduled for the same day, and we won't be able to attend. If anyone is interested in buying them or knows anyone who might be interested, please send me a message.
Yeah, inernational accessibilty is a joke!The solgan "BattleBots available worldwide" is a lie! In fact newes series seem only be accesible in the USA. Little info: No, the USA is not "all the world"!😡
I miss watching you guys. 😢❤️
Loved watching BBs but I haven't found them on in awhile.
I thought it legit was the robot TRIPPLE crown. 😂
What next a lockwasher?
I miss them like crazy!!!
Giant Washer ????
This could help. Having had the opportunity to have a pre publication copy, I thought that you might like to know that published by Austin Macauley publishers in February 2025, is the Robot Wars and Battlebots inspired novel by Claire Rosemary Jane “The Boy Who Loved Robots”. Robots, computers, family relationships, and teenage angst all form essential elements of this story. www.goodreads.com/book/show/223692042-the-boy-who-loved-robots?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=99SPLjUT...
Is that a giant washer? What's next, a giant wingnut? 🤣
I been watching the 2021 season on itv4, it's all over in a week 😔 is there a newer season? Is it going to be televised or do i need to look elsewhere?
Now get BB back on TV without a stinking subscription.
Bring WC8 back to TV or stop posting!
Yeah, I'd like to see Battlebots again!
BattleBots World Champion Jamison Go and the unstoppable @sawblaze_battlebot are taking the BattleBox by storm on January 24th at BattleBots Destruct-A-Thon!

Sad it’s not on TV anymore.😢
Come back on TV !!
If I can’t watch it I don’t care
Come back on TV.
hope it comes back on tv
Why is the show no longer on TV? 🙁
BattleBots are the fights available to be streamed on any platform?
SawBlaze is going to be actually SAWING again!? This is so dang cool
Is it even aired anywhere to watch
Any idea when Faceoffs is going to air?
Bring it back to TV! the promoters need to fight to get it back on. They owe it to the fans and to all the hard working teams. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!
The next season should be soon right like April at the latest?
My understanding is that discovery is putting to many demands on theses shows not allowing them the freedom to put out content they way they'd like
I miss the TV show so much 😭
I hate they aren't on discovery channel anymore
I'm glad I got to see Sawablaze win before the show got canceled. I love that hammer saw design. 
There is no release date yet. The next season will come out several months after it has been filmed. It has not been filmed yet, and filming dates have not even been announced. Updates will be posted in the following locations: The official Battlebots website The battlebots fan wiki This sub’s Rumor Mill for Battlebots World Championship VIII -- My best guess is that either it films in late summer and starts airing in early 2025 or it starts filming some time in the first half of 2025 and starts airing in spring/summer 2025. Why late summer, and not during the fall? Because Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix, whose headquarters is across the street from Battlebots arena, and whose track runs down Koval Ln, the street the arena is on, is coming back this November, and it apparently takes awhile before and after the race to build the track and disassemble it. Battlebots’ live show, which happens in the same arena as the TV show, is currently scheduled to run through the end of July. If they get the green light to film before August, I guess they can just cancel the live show for the ~2 weeks it takes to film the show. So the fact that they’re still selling tickets for a July 31 live show would seem to indicate they haven't (yet) confirmed filming before August. IATSE, a union representing crew members, is in negotiations for a new contract. Presumably, the show can't film until they're sure the crew won't go on strike. The current contract expires July 31, but at the rate negotiations are going, they could reach an agreement sooner.
All these spin off shows have diluted your best product, the main show. I couldn’t tell you if it hasn’t been on since last season or I’ve just missed it. And bring back complete control Derek. Cmon.
Wait a minute, Battlebots has House bots now???
Sawblaze overrated
I have 4 tickets to the event. Unfortunately, my son's eye surgery was scheduled for the same day, and we won't be able to attend. If anyone is interested in buying them or knows anyone who might be interested, please send me a message.
Well with all the hype in the original post wouldn't it be wild if the house bot actually beat up on Sawblaze?
I took my child for his 14th birthday to Las Vegas (fr Wisconsin) for his dream trip to see the Battlebots- and they cancelled the show less than 24 hours before it was supposed to happen. He is on the spectrum. He did not and still does not understand why we couldn't go to see the Battlebots.. hotel, plane ticket, VIP seats and quite a bit of money I could have put toward therapy rather than WASTED on what was supposed to be his biggest wish of his life. .....Which is a drop in the bucket compared to his disappointment.

If it’s not on TV, it didn’t happen
If they don’t bring BattleBots back to TV not only will you lose fans bot i hope you lose sponsors
