CBS's long-running reality competition "Big Brother" has returned for its 28th season, premiering with a special 90-minute episode on CBS from 8–9:30 p.m. ET/PT, with episodes streaming on Paramount+ after they air. The article serves primarily as a viewing guide, noting that the season promises the usual twists and eliminations and is rumoured to feature some "Survivor" players. For fans, it lays out where and when to watch across broadcast and streaming platforms throughout the summer.
Hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, the season sees 14 new houseguests compete for a $750,000 prize, with weekly competitions determining nominations, safety and evictions as one contestant is voted out each week. Regular episodes air Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 8–9 p.m. ET/PT, with live evictions typically on Thursdays. The 24/7 live feeds launched on Friday, 10 July via Paramount+ and Pluto TV, and — for the first time — on YouTube for limited periods, while a companion show, "Big Brother: Unlocked," premiered the same day hosted by Jerry O'Connell alongside past winners Derrick Levasseur and Taylor Hale.

Big Brother is a long-running CBS reality show in which a group of strangers, known as houseguests, live together in a specially built house cut off from the outside world while being filmed around the clock. Each week they compete in challenges that decide who is nominated for eviction, and the group votes to remove one houseguest at a time until a winner is left, who takes home a cash prize. The 28th season has just begun, with a fresh cast of contestants and the same basic format that has kept the show running for years.
The show is hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, who has presented it since it launched. This season features 14 new houseguests competing for a prize of $750,000, and there is speculation that some contestants with experience on the reality show Survivor may be among them.
Beyond the main broadcast episodes, part of Big Brother's appeal is that fans can watch extended, near-constant live camera feeds from inside the house, along with spin-off discussion programming, giving audiences a much fuller picture of events than the edited television episodes alone.
