Big Brother Returns Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET after VMAs Preemption

Tonight’s Big Brother episode airs at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS, shifted from its usual Sunday slot due to the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards occupying primetime.

The live competition resumes Tuesday, Sept. 9, giving viewers their next look at the season’s jury phase and high-stakes gameplay.

Why Tonight’s Episode Was Delayed

CBS pre-empted Big Brother’s regular Sunday night broadcast on Sept. 7 to air the VMAs on network television for the first time. This one-time schedule change accommodates the awards show’s three-hour live coverage, ensuring fans won’t miss subsequent episodes.

What to Expect on Tonight’s Episode

• Nine houseguests remain vying for the $750,000 grand prize.
• Viewers will see the results of the Week 9 Head of Household challenge and the White Locust Resort twist play out.
• Next up: the Power of Veto competition and nominations, leading into Thursday’s live eviction.

Upcoming Schedule

• Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT - Episode 29 (all-new)
• Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT - Power of Veto, Episode 30
• Thursday, Sept. 11 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT - Live eviction, Episode 31

This adjustment keeps Big Brother on track toward its fall finale, packing the week with pivotal game moves and dramatic reveals.
