Last year, Big Brother‘s 25th season set several records for the veteran reality franchise. But before we knew it, summer was on its way. And it won’t be long before another group of houseguests comes into our lives to face extreme challenges, close-quarters conspiring, and game-shaking powers as they avoid being nominated and subsequently evicted from the house.

When does Big Brother 26 premiere?
The premiere date for Big Brother 26 has yet to be announced. The show typically premieres in late June or early July. However, season 25 kicked off in early August, a move by CBS most likely to fill some slots in the fall lineup due to the WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes.

It has yet to be announced what nights Big Brother 26 will air this summer. Typically, the three weekly episodes come out on Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. However, most of season 25 was modified to a Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday schedule due to premieres of other shows and the NFL season.
