The Floor is an American game show based on the Dutch game show of the same name. The series is hosted by Rob Lowe and premiered on January 2, 2024, on Fox.

The game is based around a floor grid of 81 squares, each of which is occupied by a contestant with expertise in a different trivia category. Pairs of contestants face each other in head-to-head trivia “duels,” with the winner taking over all territory controlled by the loser.

The game progresses over the course of a season with the grand prize awarded to the player who ultimately controls the entire floor, with secondary prizes awarded throughout the season to the player with the most territory at the end of each episode.

The show’s first season aired every week on Tuesday from January 2 – February 27, 2024, occupying Fox’s 9 EST/8 CST primetime slot (except for a special 2-hour season finale, which aired at 8 EST/7 CST). Jacquelyn Kenny, an Experiential Marketer from New York City, New York, defeated Design Manager Arthur in his inherited category of “Fashion Icons” to claim the series’ first $250,000 prize.
