America's Got Talent: The Champions (often abbreviated as AGT: The Champions or simply AGTC) is a spin-off of America's Got Talent (also known as AGT), a televised American talent show competition, created by Simon Cowell. The program is produced by Fremantle for the NBC television network, and first premiered on January 7, 2019.[2] The program functions similar to AGT, but involves a variety of participants taken from across both AGT and the Got Talent franchise – including winners, finalists, live round participants and other notable entries – who compete against each other to secure a place in a grand final, in which the winner receives a cash prize and the title of America's chosen "World Champion" within Got Talent.[3][4][5][6]

The spin-off was hosted by Terry Crews, joined by a panel of judges – for season two, consisting of America's Got Talent judges Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel, and Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon.[7] Unlike the standard format for any edition of Got Talent, The Champions' contest was not held live – votes for the best act were conducted under a different voting system, and episodes were pre-recorded and aired a few months after the competition has ended. Following the first season, NBC renewed the spin-off for a second season that premiered on January 6, 2020.[8][9]
NBC did not renew The Champions for a third season. However, in October 2022, the network ordered a similar spin-off known as America's Got Talent: All-Stars, which premiered in 2023.[10]
