Seven has confirmed Ultimate Tag will premiere this Sunday night.
Host, Matt Shirvington, said: “I’m so excited to introduce Australia to these extraordinary Players and Pro Taggers. I’ve been lucky enough to line up against some of the best athletes in the world and our Pro Taggers are on the same elite level. Their mind-blowing feats of athleticism, lighting fast pace and strategic skill will keep you on the edge of your seat and yes they’ll even be wearing lycra, thank god it’s them and not me.”
Host, Abbey Gelmi, added: “It’s finally here! I cannot wait for everyone to fall in love with this show like I have. Expect high-octane thrills, big characters and even bigger courses. Ultimate Tag is like nothing you’ve ever seen before.”
If you think you know the game of tag, think again – Ultimate Tag turns the childhood game into a turbocharged tournament between Players and Pro Taggers. Players must run, spin, dodge, tumble and dive their way through huge obstacle courses with the simple goal: Don’t. Get. Caught!
The elite Pro Taggers, whose job it is to stop the Players at every turn, are the fittest, fastest and fiercest athletes in Australia. With backgrounds including world champions, parkour icons, sprinters, gymnasts and martial arts professionals, these superheroes are set to amaze with their masterful strategy and skill, stopping at nothing to claim their tag.
The Players, everyday Aussies from all walks of life, must avoid being tagged at all cost, leading to thrills, spills and awe-inspiring skills.
7pm Sunday on Seven,

It’s hard to see four and a half hours a week of televised chasey doing much better than the mini golf show.
I cannot imagine this will go past one season, it was underwhelming watching it recorded….
Pass
Will probably just record and watch the actual chases.
Any idea where this was filmed? I can’t quite place the stadium from the short shots in the promo.
Qudos Bank Arena, Olympic Park.
Thanks David.
Looking forward to this show, but I fear it will be a flop just like Holey Moley!
This was a big flop in the US.
I see this what should be once a week show also is ear marked for a 3 night a week run (pardon the pun).
Could this be Holey Moley all over again , Sunday is 2 hours then 90 plus minutes the following 2 nights.
Definitely seems like a once a week Sunday night show, what are they thinking stripping these bizarre shows so many nights a week and so many hours at a time too.
The need to fill airtime with something the station is already making-David has posted on this trend previously.
