Seasoned The Challenge veterans will take on newcomers in Season 41.
The Challenge: Vets and New Threats premieres tonight, July 30, only on MTV.
While The Challenge originally only featured contestants from The Real World and Road Rules, other reality veterans from Big Brother, Love Island, and more have began making impressive runs on The Challenge as well.
This season will feature a cast of 32, split evenly between “vets” and “new threats.”
Ahead of the season premiere, a “Day Zero” special aired in which contestants were paired off for the competition. This season has male-female pairs made up of one vet and one new threat.
The Challenge Season 41 will be on every Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET beginning tonight, July 30.
Since The Challenge will air exclusively on MTV, those without cable will have to utilize a live TV streaming service to tune in. The best of these options for Drag Race is Philo, which offers a seven-day free trial before $28/month payments begin. It’s the most affordable live TV streaming service and it includes MTV in the base plan.
Another service with a free trial we recommend is DIRECTV, which includes MTV in a number of plans starting at $34.99/month.
Unfortunately, no; you won’t be able to watch The Challenge Season 41 on Paramount+ until the entire season has aired.
Below, check out the cast of The Challenge Season 41, plus the original reality show they appeared on.
