BattleBots: Champions is the name given to the sequel spin-off series to BattleBots: Bounty Hunters. It premiered on August 4, 2022 at 8pm ET on Discovery and discovery+.
The five Bounty winners from 2020 are due to return in an attempt to defend their crowns in a similar knockout format to Bounty Hunters - Gigabyte, Lock-Jaw, ROTATOR, Skorpios and Witch Doctor. These make up five of the six confirmed episodes, dubbed Sin City Slugfest. In the final episode, the five winners of their respective qualifier episodes will be joined by former Giant Nut winners Tantrum, End Game and Tombstone to form an eight robot tournament, with the overall winner taking home the Golden Bolt trophy.https://battlebots.com/event/battlebots-champions-episode-06-discovery/
In January 2022, the Perfect Phoenix team stated they would be exclusively competing in the spin-off competition due to conflicting schedule with team captain and driver Tyler Nguyen's school.https://www.facebook.com/TylerNguyen09/photos/a.1918548935112385/2774776459489624/ Notably, Big Dill and Double Jeopardy also returned for the spin-off, having been absent from the main season.

The official 30 second trailer for BattleBots: Champions was revealed on July 20, 2022. It did not reveal any Sin City Slugfest fights, but showed past trophies preceding the Golden Bolt, with narration from Faruq Tauheed. This was followed by hits from various 2021 season battles and the BattleBots: Champions premiere date before the most recent Giant Nut winner Tantrum was shown with an animated face to end the trailer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhIa7F4Ng1U

*Although the spin-off was broadcasted as taking place after Discovery Season 6, it was actually filmed during the season.
