Big Brother 27 Finale Date Confirmed — And It’s Sooner Than You Think

Big Brother 27 may have just kicked off, but fans are already marking their calendars for the grand finale. According to reporter Sharon Tharp, the season will officially wrap up on Sunday, September 28, with a two-hour finale special airing at 8:30 p.m. EST.

This finale date means BB27 will only run for 83 days, making it the shortest season since Big Brother 24. A shorter timeline — combined with the possibility of 17 houseguests this season — has fans buzzing about what that could mean for gameplay.

Will we see a triple eviction? Two double evictions? Or maybe a surprise twist with back-to-back eliminations? Whatever happens, the tighter schedule almost guarantees a faster, more intense pace.

The premiere episode already delivered a heavy dose of drama and mystery. We met the 16 new houseguests who’ll compete all summer long, witnessed the surprise return of BB legend Rachel Reilly, and were introduced to a Masked Visitor known only as “The Mastermind.” Plus, another layer of mystery still surrounds a potential 17th houseguest—or secret accomplice—adding even more intrigue to the season.

A shorter season isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It could cut down on the slower, less eventful stretches of gameplay and make for a tighter, more thrilling narrative. With the AI Arena now rebranded as the BB Blockbuster, expect even more dynamic competitions and strategy shifts throughout the summer.

And just as BB27 ends, fans won’t have to wait long for more reality TV: The Amazing Race is set to premiere right after Big Brother wraps—keeping CBS’s Wednesday lineup strong and the Big Brother energy alive.

So buckle up. With less time, more twists, and a jam-packed house, Big Brother 27 is shaping up to be one of the wildest rides yet.
