How to Watch The Challenge: USA Online From Anywhere

By Lore Apostol / July 6, 2022

This year's US spin-off of The Challenge is set to premiere soon, and you will be able to stream all of its episodes online quite easily, just like you do with all your other favorite content, even while traveling. You will find the details you need below, including the release date, cast, and the streaming platform where you will find the reality show. This being said, let's see when, where, and how to watch The Challenge USA online from anywhere in the world.

The show follows in the footsteps of the original MTV show, The Challenge, which debuted in 1998 and is the longest-running reality series in television history. Its original title was "Road Rules: All Stars" and then "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" and has since expanded to include cast members from other reality shows. The Challenge: USA features cast members from several CBS reality shows: Big Brother, Love Island, Survivor, and The Amazing Race.

Host TJ Lavin explained how every contestant starts with $1,000, but in order to qualify for the final, they need $5,000 in their personal Challenge accounts. The two ways that the players can earn the money are winning a challenge or winning an elimination. The winner of The Challenge: USA will earn the $500,000 grand prize and the title of Challenge Champion.

There should be four new editions of The Challenge: USA, Australia, Argentina, and the UK. The winners of these four shows will then be competing for a spot in the first-ever international, global Challenge tournament titled The Challenge: Global Championship, which will stream exclusively on Paramount Plus.

The Challenge: USA premieres Wednesday, July 6, 2022, and you will be able to watch the show's episodes on CBS as they air at 9:30 pm ET with a special 90-minute episode. The remaining episodes of the season will debut live every other Wednesday at 9 pm ET.

Since Paramount Plus launched in the UK recently and was already available in Canada and Australia, we expect the US version of the reality show to be on the streaming platform in these countries as well, but we have no official news. You will be charged £6.99 / CA $5.99 / AU $8.99 per month for the subscription, and you will get a 7-day free trial if you're new to the service.

Just like all the others of its kind, this service is geo-restricted. If you are not able to access it while traveling, we recommend you use a trustworthy VPN to unblock Paramount Plus. You just need to use a server from an area back home and then open the streaming platform for this to work.
