Big Brotherseason 26 is heading into the home stretch as the finale is just over a month away, but fans are worried about yet another scheduling conflict that could cause a delay. So far duringBig Brother season 26, seven houseguests have been evicted: Matt Hardeman, Lisa Weintraub, Kenney Kelly, Cedric Hodges, Brooklyn Rivera, Tucker Des Lauriers and Joseph Rodriguez. The CBS reality show has been filled with plenty of drama so far, including allegations thatAngela Murray is a producer plant.Not helping matters are theBig Brother 26schedule changes, which have caused anger on social media.
TheBig Brother 26finale might be delayed due to a football game on CBS.
Reddit userRealCanadianDragoncompiled a list of airdates for the remainingBig Brother 26episodes and included notes about possible delays due to football. If any delays end up occurring, it sounds like only the Sunday night episodes will be affected because of NFL games.The Reddit thread featured numerous comments from fans who complained that CBS never seems to prioritizeBig Brotherand doesn’t hesitate to delay episodes if necessary.
While football isn’t something CBS can reschedule,it’s the fact that theBig Brother 26finale, of all episodes, is expected to air on a night that’s also hosting an NFL game. Tinacat933 thought it was “crazy” that CBS would consider putting “the finale on a night of a possible delay. We need to quit with this Sunday c***.”
CBS Shouldn’t Schedule Big Brother 26 Finale After Football
Fans Accuse CBS Of Not Caring About Big Brother
The OP agreed, claiming that it would be “embarrassing” for CBS to push theBig Brother 26finale into “some random timeslot.” While mocking the network’s point of view, a fan included a meme with the caption, “Whateva, I do what I want.“Some fans said that CBS should have premiered the season in June so the finale would air earlierand not be affected by Sunday Night Football. The reason why that likely didn’t happen is that some CBS shows aren’t premiering during the typical fall premiere week, so the network likely needed to fill some timeslots.

CBS' original plan forBig Brother 26was to air every episode at the same time, which would have been very convenient for fans. However, it only took a week for the network to change its mind and move some episodes to 8 p.m. EDT.Various episodes ofBig Brother 26have been plagued by scheduling delays, mostly due to sports games but also because of live political events. That won’t be the end of the changes, though, becauseat the end of September, Wednesday episodes will be dropped, and one Friday episode will be added before the finale.
It does seem odd for CBS to schedule theBig Brotherfinale for a night that could face a delay. As some fans on Reddit noted, there was a time whenBig Brotherfinales aired on Wednesdays afterSurvivorpremieres, which made that night extra special. For fall 2024, there will be a regular episode ofBig Brotherairing after the September 18 premiere ofSurvivor 47. As for theBig Brother 26finale,hopefully, the NFL game doesn’t run too long so fans can watch the crowning of a new winner at a reasonable time.
