Big Brother 2018 schedule: A fresh look at BB20 schedule on CBS

Big Brother 2018 begins on June 27. Many details about the BB20 schedule have been revealed by CBS. This sets the stage for a very exciting summer on the network.

CBS is full-on promoting Big Brother 20. The network is working hard, both through television commercials and online advertising, the create even more buzz for the reality competition show. Every night, CBS is airing hints about the season premiere, ensuring that everyone knows it begins on June 27. That’s just the beginning of the Big Brother 2018 schedule.

Big Brother 2018 schedule specifics

CBS has revealed an official announcement about its summer 2018 schedule, as well as an updated TV listing. The daily grid allows fans to plan in advance. It also confirms what shows the BB20 cast will compete against this summer. Can the show top Big Brother 19, which was a ratings juggernaut during summer 2017?

Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays

As CBS stated, the summer 2018 season will almost mirror summer 2017 in its presentation. There is a slight shift in episodes, though, as Wednesday night will air an hour later this year. Following the season premiere at 8 p.m. PT/ET on June 27, Wednesday nights will slide to the 9 p.m. time slot. It’s not a big change, but it is important for fans of the show to note.

Breaking that down a bit further, Thursday will serve as eviction nights and begin the Head of Household competitions each week. Sundays will then showcase the Nomination Ceremony and possible any twists that have taken place. That leaves the Power of Veto Competition and the Veto Ceremony for Wednesday nights. The first three nights are June 27, June 28, and July 1.

Special Friday night episodes?

During Big Brother 19, CBS rolled out several Friday night episodes. They served as bonus installments for the network and brought eyes to the reality competition show on a different night. As reports from TV By The Numbers indicated, the show performed really well on a special night. That gives CBS incentive to try it again during the Big Brother 2018 schedule.

A report by Inside the BB House hinted at how the show could improve its casts in the future, possibly for Big Brother 21. For now, it’s time to strap in and wait for the official Big Brother 2018 schedule to get started in less than a month.
