The Challenge season 40 hasn’t headed into the finale yet, but fans can already look forward to another season of the franchise.

MTV announced on Wednesday, Dec. 18, that The Challenge All Stars: Rivals will premiere Wednesday, Jan. 29, and feature 13 pairs of competitors seeking revenge alongside one of their biggest enemies in the game.

Frank Sweeney seems surprised by the rivals twist when host TJ Lavin announces it in the first teaser for the new season. “What the f---?” the Challenge champ, 35, says.

For the first time, All Stars will move from Paramount+ to MTV when it premieres next month. The 21st, 24th and 28th seasons of the flagship franchise also featured the Rivals format.

All Stars: Rivals will see the likes of Amber Borzotra, Ashley Mitchell, Nany González and Da’Vonne Rogers returning to the franchise after some time away.
