The fifth series of Gladiators (subtitled Gladiators: The Challenge) aired in the UK from 28 September 1996 to 11 January 1997. The prizes in this series included a holiday at Sun City in South Africa for the runners-up with £1,000 for each of them to spend there, while the winners each received £1,000 for themselves along with a luxury four-wheel drive off-the-road family vehicle, which this season was the Ford Maverick SUV.

For this series, the usual knockout competition was divided into two regions - North and South. Each regional area competition consisted of four heats, two semi-finals and a final. The regional champions then contested the Grand Final to determine the outright series champions.
