{{main|List of Gladiators UK events}}

The limitations of the new Gladiators arena meant that there was only room for 8 events - 7 events from the original series: [[Duel (Gladiators)|Duel]], [[Gauntlet (Gladiators)|Gauntlet]], [[Hang Tough]], [[Hit & Run (Gladiators)|Hit & Run]], [[Powerball (Gladiators)|Powerball]], [[Pyramid (Gladiators)|Pyramid]] and [[The Wall (Gladiators)|The Wall]], Plus a brand new event called [[Earthquake (Gladiators)|Earthquake]].
Changes from the original series include [[Hang Tough]], [[Duel (Gladiators)|Duel]] and [[Hit & Run (Gladiators)|Hit & Run]] now being played over water. All the events were used in rotation, different from the original series as some games featured dominantly over others.
The Eliminator featured a swimming section and a climb to the top of the [[Pyramid (Gladiators)|Pyramid]].

Aired on 31 August 2008, a selection of the original Gladiators - Lightning, Rebel, Rocket, Flame, Ace, Hunter, Trojan And Wolf - returned to compete as contenders against the new Gladiators. In the women's competition, the legends were successful, but in the men's competition, the new gladiators won after gladiator Trojan had awful trouble with the Cargo Net.

Aired on 16 November 2008, this special saw challengers from the [[RAF]], [[Navy]] and [[Army]] take on the Gladiators.
