Paramount’s most awaited amalgamation of all its upcoming spin-offs, The Challenge: World Championship, has released the date of its premiere! Set to be a different addition to the franchise, the international series will be featuring contestants from four different countries, with both memorable pro players and veterans fighting for the title of “World Champion.”
The Challenge is a reality TV show that features a group of contestants competing through various mini-challenges while also making sure that they don’t fall victim to the politics that the competition easily develops.
It usually consists of ex-cast members of other reality television series such as Survivor or Big Brother. Groups can be made on a specific theme that usually differs with each season. Those who may not play well or become the target of politics may end up being eliminated from the game. Winning The Challenge usually means taking home a hefty cash prize.
This new Spin competition will reward its players with a whopping $500,000 cash prize. Although the final list hasn’t been confirmed, we’ll be seeing the winners of all the participating countries in one season. Filming for the show was done in Cape Town, South Africa, and began in October 2022.
Now that season 38 of The Challenge USA is over; the world championship will be the next ultimate adaptation of the series. Players will have to prove that they’re the best in the world and not just their own country.
The Challenge: World Championship Release Date
This part of the reality competition series will be aired on Paramount+ starting March 8th, 2023, for viewers from the United States and Canada. After 24 hours or more, the episodes will be broadcasted in places such as the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and parts of Latin America. Audiences from other countries will have to wait until March 15th, 2023, to stream episodes of The Challenge World Championship.

The Challenge: World Championship: Expected Format
Despite being a crossover of various countries, the show will follow its usual format. Once the series begins, each country will start its version of the game with hosts of their home country. After the winners are confirmed, they will finally appear together in the main show, the Global Championship.
The main theme hasn’t been revealed yet, but the game may proceed how most seasons do, where players are divided and made to go through all sorts of challenges. They may have to do this alone or in pairs. Based on their performance, they will be safe for the week or will be sent to the dreadful elimination. Once there, they’ll have to compete with the low-scoring team from last week or with anyone the winner chooses for them.
The season could end up having new twists based on the theme, as was seen in the case of Real World Vs. Road Rules, where contestants had to go through a Survivor-like competition.
The Challenge: World Championship: Hosts
For the first time, hosts of the USA, Australia, Argentina, and the UK will be coming together to host the World Championship series. From the USA, TJ Lavin will be the selected host. He has had the position since season 11. Australian presenter Brihony Dawson will be a part of the series as well. She was the host of the Australian version, which was aired in November 2022.
Appearing on behalf of the UK is entertainment host Mark Wright, while Alejandro Wiebe, also known as Marley, will be the host from Argentina. After hosting their spin-off, the hosts will unite for the fifth part of the series.
Who will be the Contestants of The Challenge: World Championship?
Once each country finishes airing its episodes and the winners are announced, they’ll be called back to appear in the World Championship. The contestants would also be well-known legends or good players from The Challenge spin-offs. It’s not known if the contestants from MTV Originals will compete.
From USA’s show, Danny McCray and Sarah Lacina will be participating as they were the winners of The Challenge USA Series. Australia’s The Challenge winners, Kiki Morris and Troy Cullen will be in the World Championship as well. The rest of the countries’ winners haven’t been announced yet, but they’ll all be appearing on the show together in March of 2023.
