The Challenge Season 40 will premiere on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, at 8 pm ET/PT on MTV's official website and Parmamount+. The show will return with 40 new faces from its 26-year history of competitors to represent the era of The Challenge. These competitors will challenge each other to permanently mark their names on the legendary list of Challenge 40 Champions.
One of the longest-running reality competition shows, The Challenge, is celebrating its 40th season. The show is turning up the heat as it brings in 40 challenging competitors to face the biggest and scariest challenges to ultimately win the hefty grand prize of one million dollars.
These top 40 challengers, chosen from the show's 39 seasons history, will be split into four groups, each representing their era and proving why they are the best. T.J. Lavin, an actor and composer, will host the show as the challengers with history seek their revenge.
Why is The Challenge season 40 different from the rest?
This year's Challengers title is "The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras". The challengers from the previous season are coming together to compete against veterans belonging to their separate eras. Some of these past challengers have a history of seeking revenge, while the other veterans are entirely new. All 40 challengers must do their best to prove their era is the best, as the road to glory is filled with weekly eliminations.
Each episode of the show will premiere weekly on Wednesdays at 8 pm. In the first episode, the contestants were shocked when they realized they had to start the competition by competing with their teammates.
Where to watch The Challenge Season 40?
The Challenge Season 40 has not made many details public, as challenges are best conducted when things are allowed to be kept a secret. How many episodes the season will comprise is unknown, but we can hope it will have at least 20 episodes.
Fans of the show can stream these episodes available on MTV.
