The Challenge Sverige () is a Swedish adaptation of the reality-competition series The Challenge. The series features Swedish reality television participants competing in various challenges for the chance to win SEK $1,000,000.
The first season premiered on TV4 on August 12, 2024, with fitness trainer Pischa Strindstedt as host. The season was filmed in Larnaca, Cyprus in 2023.
A second season is scheduled to premiere in fall 2026, with comedian and presenter Ahmed Berhan as the host. The season was filmed in Furillen, Sweden. Unlike the first season, which solely featured contestants from previous TV4 reality programs, casting expanded to include contestants from other reality series including Paradise Hotel and Love Is Blind: Sweden.
Premise Similar to other seasons in The Challenge franchise, the format varies by season, although the competition generally includes contestants participating in challenges and undergoing a nomination process to determine which contestants participate in an elimination round. The winner of the elimination round continues in the competition while the defeated contestants are eliminated. With contestants progressively eliminated during the season, the eventual final contestants/teams compete in the Final Challenge to determine the champions of the season.
The first season had contestants competing in male-female pairs. The second season is set to have contestants competing in four teams: Farmen (The Farm), Kärlek ("Love"), Robinson, and Vildingar ("Wild Ones").
