The magazine is not to be confused with The Challenge of Youth which was, in its day, a primary publication of the Young People's Socialist League back when it was associated with the Socialist Party of America (YPSL is now politically and organisationally separate from the SPA).

In the mid-1970s while the YCL was influenced by youth trends, the publication was re-designed to give it a punk zine aesthetic.

The magazine was sold outside factories and schools, alongside the Daily Worker.

[3] The aim of the journal is, according to the YCL, to cover all the latest news and views of the YCL, as well as articles covering important international developments, working-class history, culture, different campaigns and struggles taking place in Britain and the rest of the world, as well as regular features such as the Back 2 Basics series (Marxist concepts made easy), the Industrial Diary, and Uncle Joe's Book at Bedtime (a review of some classic Marxist texts).Challenge aims to be the voice of Britain’s young communists reporting on the latest domestic and international news from a Marxist–Leninist and anti-imperialist perspective.
