Big Brother Season 26 is right around the corner. Fans are eager to find out any and all information about the fan-favorite reality TV series as the summer season gets ready to kick off. While there are still so many unanswered questions about Big Brother 26, there are a few things that we’re able to tell you about what’s in store for the impending season of the CBS series.
Fans of the long-running show already know that Big Brother tends to air throughout the summer months. Season 26 is no different. The show will officially premiere on CBS on Wednesday, July 17, 2024 at 9 pm est. The premiere will be aired in two parts, with part two airing the following night on Thursday, July 18 at 9 pm. The BB26 premiere comes a bit earlier on the calendar than Season 25, which didn’t premiere until August 25 of last year. However, the writers’ strike had a lot to do with that.
Big Brother Season 26 will premiere on CBS in July
Big Brother Season 26 will continue to air three times a week. The schedule will remain Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Each episode will air at 9 pm on those days. Per usual, the live evictions will air on Thursday nights. Meanwhile, fans will still be able to keep up with all of the drama thanks to the live feeds, which stream on Paramount Plus nearly around the clock.
Currently, there is no cast announcement for BB26. The show’s brand-new cast will be announced as the premiere date draws closer. Of course, fans are excited to see the new recruits and learn more about them before choosing their favorites and placing bets on the winner.
Big Brother will air all summer long. However, it hasn’t been confirmed just how many days the contestants will be living in the house. During Season 25, the houseguests were in it for the long haul, going 100 days. However, Season 24 only lasted 82 days, while Seasons 22 and 23 were 85 days each.
In addition, a theme for Big Brother Season 26 is also being awaited. Last year, fans watched the multiverse take contestants into different universes, such as the scary verse. This season, a new gimmick will likely be introduced as the summer series makes its way back to the airwaves.
