The organisers of Big Brother Naija have officially confirmed the return of the reality TV show for its 11th season, sparking excitement among fans across Nigeria and beyond.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, via the show’s official social media platforms, including Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), where a teaser video was released to signal the new season.

In the teaser post, the organisers wrote, “Biggie is calling.”

“Auditions coming soon!” The short video featured dramatic visuals including luxury interiors, flashing surveillance-style shots, and the iconic Big Brother eye logo, building suspense ahead of the new season.
The announcement confirms that auditions for Season 11 will begin soon, although the organisers did not disclose the exact date, application process, or eligibility criteria.
As of the time of this report, details such as the audition schedule, premiere date, theme, prize money, and house format remain undisclosed.
However, based on previous editions, auditions are expected to follow a hybrid format involving online submissions and physical screenings in major cities.
The development follows the success of Season 10, which premiered on July 26, 2025, and saw Opeyemi Ayanwale emerge as winner, taking home the grand prize of ₦150 million.
The return of the show has already generated widespread reactions on social media, with fans expressing anticipation and sharing expectations for the new season.
While some viewers called for fresh housemates and fewer twists, others expressed excitement over the show’s return as one of Nigeria’s biggest entertainment platforms.
Big Brother Naija, produced by MultiChoice Nigeria, continues to air on DStv and GOtv, maintaining its position as one of Africa’s most influential reality television shows.
With auditions set to open soon, attention now shifts to the organisers for further details on what Season 11 will bring.
