Big Brother 20 schedule update: Three shows for 2018 summer season
By Ryan Gamble
Big Brother fans will have a lot to choose from this summer. In addition to the CBS live feeds, three different shows will be available for television viewers to enjoy.
The Big Brother 20 schedule begins on Wednesday night (June 27), when the two-hour season premiere debuts on CBS. Beginning at 8/7c, the first episode will introduce television viewers to the BB20 cast. There is a lot of catching up to do, as the 16 new houseguests are already playing the game.
The two-night premiere continues on Thursday (June 28), with another episode of Big Brother at 9/8c. Immediately following the West Coast viewing of Episode 2, Big Brother: After Dark gets started on Pop for the East Coast. It starts at 1 a.m. on both coasts.

Time for CBS live feeds to turn on
On the night of June 28, the CBS live feeds also get turned on. This will give viewers a chance to catch up on what has been taking place in the BB20 house for the first full week. If producers really want to give viewers a treat, maybe they will play out a Head of Household Competition live on the feeds. The expectation, though, is that the feeds go live at 10 p.m. PT / 1 a.m. ET.
Big Brother 20 schedule presents a new show
On Friday (June 29) of premiere week, a new Big Brother companion show begins. Called Off the Block with Ross and Marissa, it will serve as a BB20 recap show. Recently evicted houseguests will drop by the Facebook show and speak about their experiences. Ross Mathews and Marissa Jaret Winokur from Celebrity Big Brother will serve as the hosts.

The schedule rolls on
Episode 3 on the Big Brother 20 schedule is on Sunday (July 1) at 8/7c. Then things fall into a routine of every Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday for Big Brother 20. Each Friday will have a new episode of Off the Block and After Dark will air every night on Pop. The live feeds will also air most of the time, only turning off during secret competitions the houseguests take part in.
Next: It's Time For The BB20 House Tour
The wait is nearly over for fans, but CBS has already revealed BB20 house photos to peruse. With the cast already in the house, it’s also possible that some Big Brother 20 spoilers could come out before the end of the final weekend before the season premiere.
