ONE Championship announced on Thursday, 3 September, that ‘The Apprentice’ will air locally on TV5. In other parts of the region, it will air on AXN. 

The show further solidifies the broadcast partnership between the two entities. TV5 and their sports subsidiaries One Sports and One Sports+ became The Home Of Martial Arts’ official partner in the Philippines in July, when ONE Championship returned to action with ONE: NO SURRENDER. 

On ‘The Apprentice,’ 16 contestants from different parts of the world will compete in a high-stakes game of business and physical challenges. The winner gets a $250,000 job offer and the rare opportunity to be the protege of ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong. 

Several athletes and guest CEOs are also slated to appear on the show, giving a fresh twist to the world-famous TV franchise.

Over on the business end, the confirmed guest CEOs so far are Zilingo CEO Ankiti Bose, Catcha Group and iFlix CEO Patrick Grove, Grab CEO Anthony Tan, and Everise CEO Sudhir Agarwal.

‘The Apprentice’ is one of the world’s most popular non-scripted reality TV programs in history in which contestants compete for a job offer with a high-profile CEO. It has aired in over 120 countries. The first season of ‘The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition’ will consist of 13 episodes.

In the meantime, catch the previously recorded ONE: A NEW BREED II on September 11 by downloading the ONE Super App.
