But in 2022, The Challenge made its means from cable to primetime tv with CBS's The Challenge: USA. That's right, the cutthroat CBS universe is ready to get down and grimy. "With an ever-changing game, players will be in a constant state of paranoia, unable to trust anyone but themselves.

Along with the opportunity to compete in The Challenge: Global Championship, the 28 contestants of The Challenge: USA — which is hosted by iconic BMX rider T.J. Lavin — are playing for a staggering $500,000. Yeah, that's a lot of dough. You're going to want to keep up with the drama, so let's discuss the new series' schedule.

The rules for CBS's 'The Challenge: USA' differ from MTV's original rules.

CBS is switching things up. As T.J. said in the first episode, everyone starts out with "somewhat seed cash."

“Everyone’s going to have $1,000,” T.J. Lavin said. “Unfortunately for you, that is not enough money to make it to my final, which is the ultimate goal. To qualify, you have to have $5,000 in that personal Challenge account.” The more challenges the competitors win, the more cash they accumulate.
