Network 10 confirmed the launch details in an official announcement on 6 October, locking in the date after weeks of teasing an October return.
What Nights Will Big Brother Australia Air?
The new season will air six nights a week, as Big Brother Australia announced on Instagram. The full night-by-night schedule has not yet been released.
The six-night run follows 10's promise of a longer season, giving viewers more time with the new housemates than during the show's 2025 return.
What Has Big Brother Teased For 2026?
The latest promo introduces a new Mystery Button, although 10 is keeping its purpose under wraps. Live nominations will return with a twist, while an eviction spin, pranks and more surprises are also being teased.
Viewers will have more power from opening night, and host Mel Tracina is back to welcome a fresh group of housemates into the new Brisbane house.
The show has moved from the Gold Coast to Screen Queensland Studios in Hemmant, where construction began earlier this year. Live evictions, live nominations and live streaming are all returning.
Where Can You Watch Big Brother Australia 2026?
Big Brother Australia 2026 will air free on 10 and 10 Streaming.
