ITV has confirmed that the brand new civilian version of Big Brother will start on Sunday, September 28. The launch episode is due to start at 9pm that day.

Big Brother: Live Launch will see hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best once again welcome an eclectic mix of strangers from across the UK who will all become Housemates living under one roof. Viewers can expect more new twists and turns, elaborate tasks, intense nominations and live evictions as the cast of Housemates go up against one another in a bid to be crowned the winner, and walk away with a life-changing cash prize.

Following Big Brother each night will be Big Brother: Late & Live - an extra slice of exclusive Big Brother content with fiery debate and hot takes from our celebrity guest panel. There will also be a live stream running seven days a week.

How to watch Big Brother 2025?

Since it made its debut back in the early years of the 21st century, Big Brother has had numerous homes. It is currently being broadcast by ITV, having started on Channel 4 before moving to 5 in its second iteration.
