“Big Brother” fans have had to deal with some unusual scheduling changes this season. The CBS reality competition show skipped the last two Sundays due to major television events, including the MTV Video Music Awards and the Emmy Awards. That left viewers wondering: is “Big Brother” back to its normal schedule?
Here’s everything you need to know about this week’s lineup of episodes, including exact times and what to expect.
Is Big Brother airing Sunday, Sept. 21?
Yes, the show will air on Sunday, but not during its typical evening slot. Instead, “Big Brother” is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. ET, running until 11 p.m. ET. The later start time is due to CBS’s primetime lineup leading into the broadcast.
For fans following along, you can always double-check the official CBS Big Brother schedule to stay up to date.
What time does Big Brother air during the week?
After Sunday night’s late broadcast, the show returns to its usual midweek schedule:
- Wednesday, Sept. 24 – A special eviction episode airs at 10 p.m. ET.
- Thursday, Sept. 25 – The episode begins at 8 p.m. ET and runs for 90 minutes, but it will not feature an eviction.
This means viewers will still get three episodes this week, though the timing varies compared to earlier in the season.

Why the schedule keeps shifting
CBS occasionally adjusts the “Big Brother” schedule when major events or award shows air during primetime. These interruptions can push the show later into the night or onto a different day altogether. Fans should keep an eye on the official CBS schedule to avoid missing key moments in the game.
