Season 27 of Big Brother is barreling toward its finale, but viewers should note an immediate schedule shake‑up: the show won’t air on Sunday, September 7, or Sunday, September 14. Here’s why this shift is happening—and what’s next.
Typically, new episodes of Big Brother air Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8/7 c — with the Wednesday installment running 90 minutes, and Sunday and Thursday episodes clocking in at an hour. This fall‑season rhythm changes due to big programming events. On Sunday, September 7, CBS airs the Video Music Awards, prompting Big Brother to move to Tuesday, September 9 at 8/7 c. Then on Sunday, September 14, the Emmys take over the timeslot — preempting the show entirely.
After that, the pace intensifies. Wednesday, September 17, is set for a two‑hour episode featuring both Head of Household and nominations, followed by another two‑hour episode on Thursday, September 18. The season finale is scheduled for Sunday, September 28, airing at 8:30/7:30 c and lasting 90 minutes. When Sunday episodes resume earlier in the month, their start times may be pushed later due to Sunday Night Football.
With nine houseguests remaining and only about four weeks left in Season 27, the pressure is mounting. The finale will feature just three finalists, with seven evicted peers returning to crown the winner of the $750,000 prize. A separate $50,000 prize for America’s Favorite Houseguest will also be awarded.
Why It Matters
This brief Sunday hiatus highlights how major live broadcasts can ripple through reality TV schedules. Fans planning viewing parties or tuning in religiously should note these date and time shifts now. And with the season’s end in sight, every episode carries weight.
Stay tuned: once the award shows wrap, Big Brother returns — though viewers will want to verify start times, especially on Sundays with football in play.
