The Big Brother 26 season is upon us and the schedule is set with a premiere on Wednesday, July 17th 9PM ET/PT for the two-night event kick-off and then it’s a 90-some odd days dash to the finale night on Sunday, October 13th at 8:30PM ET/PT. But with so many days and so many episodes between those bookends you won’t want to miss the latest Big Brother schedule.
Update: CBS has already made changes to the BB26 schedule inside the first week of the show. Wednesdays and Thursdays are moving to 8/7c while Sundays initially stay at 9/8c before it starts shifting later this season due to NFL games.
Regular episode schedule is set by CBS for Sundays at 9PM ET/PT, Wednesdays at 8/7c 9PM ET/PT, and Thursdays at 8/7c 9PM ET/PT of the live eviction shows. Now that will be easy to remember, right? That part is, but then there are some shifts and wiggles in the timing as we get into the NFL season. Happens every year, right?

There will inevitably be more changes along the way and on those NFL Sundays we’ll get those delays until “whenever” as we wait for 60 Minutes to wrap up after the games run late. We’re used to it, so don’t be surprised when it happens again.
In the meantime we’ll be watching and enjoying the new season on CBS. Join us on Facebook, Twitter, and our Big Brother App for more BB26!
