When does The Challenge: USA start?
In February 2022, CBS announced that they had a number of international spinoffs of The Challenge in development.
In a press release, the network stated plans for versions of the MTV vehicle in Australia, Argentina, the US, and the UK.
The network teased: “Upon arrival, the CBS reality titans are given $1,000 to start their individual challenge accounts.”
“They quickly discover they must battle to keep and increase their handsome reward.”
The TV organization further shared: “In each episode, an algorithm pairs contestants who will face off to earn money for their accounts by winning challenges or eliminating their opponents.”
The USA installment is expected to be followed up with The Challenge: Global Championship.
Arriving in the midst of summer, The Challenge: USA begins airing on July 6, 2022.
That Wednesday, the program kicks off at 9:30pm ET on CBS.
