DirecTV Now: Both MTV and MTV2 (Note this is the only streaming service that offers MTV2) are included in all four of DirecTV Now’s base channel packages, which range from $35 to $70 per month. You can sign up for a free 7-day trial no matter what package you choose, and you can watch live MTV on your computer via the DirecTV Now website, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the DirecTV Now app
Sling TV: For MTV, you’ll need to sign up for either the “Sling Orange” ($20 per month) or “Sling Blue” ($25 per month) base package, then add the “Comedy Extra” add-on for another $5 per month.

Preview
As was the case in the previous two installments of this series, there will be 10 veterans from The Challenge, and 10 stars from outside the show, who will all be competing for a different charity. The big difference in this season, however, is that the two teams will be a blend of both “Champs” and “Stars.”
The “Champs” include Chris “CT” Tamburello, Wes Bergmann, Kaliah Casillas, Tori Deal, Aneesa Ferreira, Shane Landrum, Ashley Mitchell, Tony Raines, Devin Walker and Kam Williams. On the “Stars” side are Drake Bell (actor), Hennessy Carolina (social media personality), Selita Ebanks (model), Jozea Flores (Big Brother 18), Arian Foster (NFL), Daniel “Boobie” Gibson (NBA), Louise Hazel (2012 Olympic heptathlete), Brooke Hogan (TV personality and Hulk Hogan’s daughter), Lil Mama (rapper) and Casper Smart (dancer). Hazel is the only repeat “Star”, as she competed in the first season and made it to the final episode.
For the second season in a row, Mike “The Miz” Mizanin, WWE superstar and fellow The Challenge alum, will be the host.
