The Girl Group Challenge is a Maxi Challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race UK where the contestants perform as girl groups to a recorded track, typically with their own personalized verses. The girl groups are typically responsible to come up with choreography, a team name and a cohesive look.

This challenge is not to be confused with the Rumix Challenge where the contestants are also expected to record a verse as well as learn choreography.
