Million Dollar Mile is an American obstacle course competition television series that premiered on March 27, 2019, on CBS.[1] Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow serves as the main host, with Matt "Money" Smith and Maria Taylor as co-hosts, and NBA superstar LeBron James as an executive producer.[2] The object of the game is to run through a 1-mile (1.6 km) obstacle course through Los Angeles's Westlake District and Downtown near the Los Angeles Center Studios, while avoiding various obstacles along the course, including a group of elite athletes whose goal was to stop them from winning the prize money à la American Gladiators, which could total up to $1 million if the entire course was completed successfully.[3][4]

After just two episodes with low ratings[5] CBS moved the show from its Wednesday slot to Saturday nights, beginning May 4, 2019. That two-week run did no better compared to the ratings of CBS's usual Crimetime Saturday rerun block, and it was again pulled, with six episodes still unaired.[6] CBS later scheduled the end of the burn-off of the series starting July 6, 2019, with the remaining episodes airing weekly. Repeats have aired on CBS Sports Network.

Tier levels

After a contestant completes an obstacle, they earn a level of prize money. However, they are not guaranteed that money until they successfully exit the course. Contestants who complete three obstacles are automatically guaranteed $50,000 regardless of whether they finish or not.


Obstacles Completed	Money
1	$10,000
2	$25,000
3	$50,000
4	$100,000
5	$250,000
6	$1,000,000

gollark: Though I can't track that.

gollark: Oh, that's an interesting idea.
