The July 10 premiere date is a week earlier than last year, and three weeks earlier than Big Brother's 2023 premiere. (Big Brother had premiered Season 25 in August 2023 to compensate for the Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes).
Following Big Brother's Season 27 premiere, CBS will air a 90-minute broadcast on Sunday, July 13 at 8PM ET/PT.
Julie Chen Moonves will be returning as host of a Big Brother season full of twists and turns.
Once premiere week is over, Big Brother's Thursday and Sunday episodes will be traditional hour-long installments airing at 8PM ET/PT every week.
But the Wednesday episodes at 8PM ET/PT will be extended into 90-minute broadcasts all season long.
And starting on July 25 at 8PM ET/PT, CBS will air a new Big Brother: Unlocked special on Friday nights every other week.
Big Brother: Unlocked will essentially be a Big Brother talk show featuring surprise Guests, exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
CBS teased that three "BB All-Stars" will helm the talk show and former Houseguests will "share firsthand insight and expertise as they analyze gameplay, assess the competition and give their insider's perspective."
Big Brother's new season will feature the most original hours of programming in 25 years since its 2000 debut.
Paramount+ subscribers and Pluto TV viewers will be able to watch the Big Brother Live Feeds.

Big Brother's 26th season concluded in October 2024 with Chelsie Baham winning the show through a unanimous 7-0 jury vote in the Final 2 against Makensy Manbeck.
Makensy, who won the final HoH competition and chose to take Chelsie to the end, was criticized for having made a $750,000 mistake.
