How to Stream New ‘Big Brother’ Episodes, Live Feeds

Live from a soundstage in Los Angeles, it’s time for Big Brother!

For the 25th summer in a row, a group of houseguests are locked into a specially constructed house, entirely cut off from the outside world, to play Big Brother.

The twist? They’re always being watched. Microphones and cameras are planted all over the house allowing fans to tune into “live feeds” at any time, to check up on what the houseguests are up to, which alliances are forming, which alliances are being betrayed, and what kind of plans are being made behind the backs of other house guests.

This summer marks the 25th anniversary season of Big Brother, and the theme is “A Summer of Mystery.” The BB House, which gets redesigned every year, is being called Hotel Mystère, and last season’s AI Arena will make a comeback as BB Blockbuster.

It’s a CBS summer staple, and it’s all beginning now; here’s how you can tune in for free.

When Does Big Brother Come Back?

Season 27 of Big Brother begins tonight, July 10, at 8 p.m. ET.

How to Watch Big Brother for Free:

The best way to watch Big Brother live if you don’t have cable is by using a live TV streaming service. We love DIRECTV, which has a five day free trial and a number of flexible subscription options starting at $59.99/month, many of which include CBS.

New episodes of Big Brother will stream on Paramount+ the morning after they air on CBS if you have a Paramount+ Essential account. Paramount+ Premium subscribers can watch episodes live on their local CBS affiliate.
