How does The Challenge: World Championship work?

According to a press release from Paramount+, "In the franchise’s first-ever world tournament, each global MVP will be paired with a 'Challenge' Legend, a notable veteran from previous seasons of the MTV series, who will serve as their partner to form the most epic teams in the history of the franchise. Together they will work towards the most difficult challenge of them all: the brutal finale worth $500,000.

It's unknown whether the format will bring in any more twists. All of the past year's international seasons involved "The Algorithm," which randomly determined the pairs for that episode's daily and elimination. There have also been a couple of seasons of the MTV show that have given the elimination winners the opportunity to switch partners if they choose. It's unknown whether the pairs determined in the premiere will be the same as in the finale.

The Challenge: World Championship will be hosted by all of the hosts from the global shows, who will be appearing in various capacities throughout the season.
