Fifteen years after the show ended on ABS-CBN, the legal drama returned on June 7, 2014 as part of the Yes Weekend! block, airing every Saturday at 3:30 pm, after It's Showtime and before S.O.C.O. while the replay is every Wednesday at 2:00 pm, and every Thursday at 1:00 am, on DZMM TeleRadyo and every Sunday at 3:00 pm, on Jeepney TV. The show is still hosted by Atty. Jose Sison together with his son Atty. Jopet Sison. It is simply called Ipaglaban Mo!.
On November 1, 2014, the show temporarily stopped airing new episodes due to copyright infrigiment.

Following the temporary closure of ABS-CBN due to the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) on account of its franchise expiration, on June 14, 2020, the show returned on the newly established Kapamilya Channel with new episodes. It currently airs every Sunday at 2:30 pm.
