The wait is nearly over. The Big Brother 28 cast moves in this week and begins playing the game.

Many rumors are still flooding social media, convincing fans that players are returning for this season.

Recently, host Julie Chen Moonves did offer some confirmation. It got people talking even more.

Now that we know alums and people from other reality TV shows are involved, fans really want to know when the BB28 cast announcement will be made.

When does the Big Brother 28 cast move into the house?

The BB28 cast move-in day is Tuesday, July 7. That’s when the new houseguests begin playing the game.

Yes, the move-in day is before the first episode airs on CBS. That’s unfortunate. We will miss a lot.

As a reminder, the first episode debuts on Thursday, July 9 at 8/7c on CBS.

When will the Big Brother 28 cast be revealed?

The BB28 cast reveal is also on Tuesday, July 7. That’s when CBS will drop the names and bios.

It’s an exciting day on the calendar, but also the day when some fans begin complaining about the new cast. It happens every year.

Still, it’s off to the races from that point, with the new houseguests competing for a $750,000 prize this summer.

Viewers will then see the players during the July 9 episode. That will continue through the debut of Big Brother: Unlocked on Friday, July 10 at 8/7c.

Below is a post showcasing the three panelists for BB Unlocked this year. The producers are also teasing a live studio audience.

Also, a new fan vote will be introduced during Big Brother 2026. It makes Unlocked episodes more important this summer.
