Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 is an animated science fiction sports television series created by Mattel, Nelvana, and Nerd Corps Entertainment, based on the Hot Wheels toy line by the American toy maker, Mattel which was introduced in 1968. A two-episode preview aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on August 24, 2009; it was shown on Cartoon Network India starting on April 30, 2010 and on Cartoon Network Philippines from July 3, 2010. The series made its official debut on August 29, 2009. According to a HotWheels.com page as of July 14, 2010 describing "BATTLE FORCE 5 Battle Action Assortment" toys, vehicles combine forces to create even more powerful combat machines.^[1] The second season began airing September 18, 2010.

While the series does not follow nor ever reference the events from the World Race or AcceleRacers franchises (with the exception of the character, Vert Wheeler, who appeared in both of the franchises), the series has no continuity with the toy line.

The first trailer for the series was released on the official Hot Wheels Battle Force 5 website on June 25, 2009.^[2] The first two episodes aired on Monday, August 24.

This is the fourth series to be produced by Nerd Corps Entertainment (after League of Super Evil, Storm Hawks and Dragon Booster). 52 episodes and a 46-minute film were made.
