Challenge

Challenge mode is a new event mode which will be added in Sizzle Season 2023. Officially a replacement for League Battle, Challenges are limited-time competitions of standard modes with unique in-match conditions. They can be played solo or with a team, and feature a two-hour ranked play window similar to League Battle, but unlike League Battle's constant rotations, the windows only occur at a few specific times during a season. The monthly event battles that appeared in League Battle mode were confirmed to return as Challenges.

Previewed Challenges
Three types of Challenges with unique conditions were revealed as part of the Sizzle Season 2023 announcement: "Too Many Trizookas!", "Foggy Notion", and "Extreme Jump Battle".
