It might be the weekend but there is no rest for fans of The Traitors. In a shake-up to the schedule, the BBC will be airing an episode on a Saturday night for the first time.
Claudia Winkleman is back on hosting duties, following her exit from Strictly Come Dancing. She is casting an eye over the latest batch of faithfuls and traitors.
The show has kicked-off another exciting season as 2026 begins, but fans could get caught out tonight. Here’s all you need to know:
Is The Traitors on TV tonight?
Since its debut in 2022, the Traitors has stuck to weekdays. Series 1 ran from Tuesdays to Thursdays, while series two and three were both on Wednesdays to Fridays.
However, due to the New Year starting on a Thursday this year, the Traitors has switched things up - at least for the first week. The first two episodes aired on Thursday (January 1) and Friday (January 2) and you might be wondering if that is all for week one.
The Traitors is set to broadcast an episode on a Saturday night for the very first time. The mega-hit will be back on BBC One this evening (January 3).
What time is The Traitors on today?
Not only is the blockbuster show shaking things up by moving to a Saturday night, it will also start at a slightly different time than the previous two episodes. The Traitors is due to begin at 7.45pm this evening, the BBC has confirmed.
It will be broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer at the same time. Previous seasons are also available to watch on demand, along with versions from around the world.
Is it a regular or celebrity version this time?
Fans were treated to two seasons of The Traitors last year, including the blockbuster Celebrity version. The new series starting today (January 1) will be a regular civilian version.
They will be competing to try and win up to £120,000. Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr has a message for the new players: “Good luck, you're definitely going to need it!”
