The premiere of Big Brother season 22 is less than a week away. Big Brother: All Stars is expected to feature a slew of fan favorites, and although rumors continue to bubble about who's in and who's out, fans will have to tune in live in order to see the cast reveal and other premiere happenings. While there has been some skepticism as to whether or not the season would come together at all, it seems that CBS is committed to bringing Big Brother to audiences this summer, and even COVID-19 can't stop that from happening.

The season will begin Wednesday, Aug. 5 at 9pm EST. From there, as in previous seasons, Big Brother will air three times a week, on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Interestingly, there is not expected to be an episode Thursday, Aug. 6, as the first live eviction will occur the following week, on Thursday, Aug. 13. These weekly episodes will all air at 8pm EST.
