If you’re asking “is Big Brother on tonight?” and “what time is Big Brother on tonight?”, here’s everything you need to know about the Big Brother schedule for September 24, 2025, and how that fits into the rest of Season 27’s airing plan.
Tonight’s Special Time Slot (Wednesday, September 24)
Yes, Big Brother is on tonight — but with a twist. For tonight’s episode, the airtime has shifted. On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, Big Brother Season 27, Episode 36 will air from 10:00–11:00 p.m. ET on CBS, following that evening’s season premiere of Survivor. (This marks a special time adjustment due to the crossover scheduling.)
So if you’re tuning in tonight, double-check your local CBS listings or DVR schedule — but plan for the show to begin at 10:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 p.m. CT (barring any last-minute changes).
Regular Big Brother Schedule This Season
Under normal circumstances this season, Big Brother 27 airs three times a week on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays — usually at 8:00 p.m. ET. The durations vary: Wednesday episodes tend to run longer (roughly 90 minutes), while Sunday and Thursday episodes are typically 60 minutes. The Wednesday block is often 90 minutes while other nights are the usual one-hour format.
In fact, schedule changes are not uncommon later in the season, especially as sports and fall programming re-enter prime-time slots. The same NBCRightNow piece lays out the adjusted timing through the finale, noting that:
- Wednesday, September 24 (tonight): 10:00–11:00 p.m. ET (special)
- Thursday, September 25: 8:00 p.m. ET — with a 90-minute episode planned
- Sunday, September 28 (season finale): 8:30 p.m. ET — a 90-minute two-hour block
The finale night will see just three finalists competing: one will be evicted that night and join the jury, while the remaining two go head-to-head for the title. The season’s prize amounts remain consistent, with the winner taking home $750,000.
How to Watch (Streaming & Live Options)
Whether you’re cord-cutting or simply prefer streaming, New episodes air live on CBS and can be streamed via CBS.com. For those with Paramount+, the Premium tier grants live CBS access; the Essential tier lets you stream episodes on demand the next day. Other streaming platforms that carry CBS or live TV — including fuboTV, DIRECTV Stream, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV — also allow viewers to catch Big Brother in real time.
Want to go deeper? The iconic live feeds (covering around-the-clock house activity) are available through Paramount+ Premium. Pluto TV also carries free live feeds. (Note: live chat functionality has reportedly been disabled this season.)
Why the Schedule Shift Tonight?
This week’s Wednesday episode has been delayed and shortened to one hour to make room for Survivor’s two-hour premiere, per Decider’s reporting. That move prompted a ripple in the schedule, pushing tonight’s Big Brother airing to a later slot than usual — a rare deviation for the show. If you’re a fan of consistency, it can be a bit jarring — but such shifts are more common toward the end of the season when networks juggle multiple flagship shows.
Recap & What to Watch For
In short:
- Is Big Brother on tonight? Yes — but with a delayed start.
- What time is Big Brother on tonight? Most reliably, 10:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 p.m. CT (though one source suggests 9 p.m. ET).
- The standard schedule has been Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET (with Wednesday often extended to 90 minutes).
- Tonight’s change is driven by the scheduling of the *Survivor* season premiere, and later nights (Thursday, finale Sunday) carry adjusted times and extended lengths.
Keep an eye on your local CBS listings just in case — and if you were DVR-ing under the standard slot, be sure to update that recording window. We’ll continue tracking any further schedule tweaks as the season heads toward its finale.
Enjoy the drama tonight — and don’t forget: it’s not just about making alliances this late in the game. Timing matters, too.
