When is Celebrity Big Brother 2019 start date?
By Ryan Gamble
The Celebrity Big Brother 2019 start date has nearly arrived. It has been a long wait for viewers since the Big Brother 20 finale aired on CBS, but it’s time for the celebrities to take center stage.
So, when is Celebrity Big Brother 2019 starting up? The quick answer is that the houseguests are already playing the game. Right after the cast was announced, the celebrities were sequestered, told the rules, and inserted inside the BB house. This happened during the last week, but the first episode on CBS won’t take place until next week. It gives fans a few days to debate the upcoming season.
When is Celebrity Big Brother 2019 start date?
The first episode of the 2019 winter season takes place on Monday, January 21. It’s the first of 13 episodes that will air on CBS during the short-run series. Due to it being celebrities, they will play the game for a shorter period of time than the summer casts. For instance, the Big Brother 20 winner just spent 99 days playing the game in summer 2018.

The new BB Celeb cast
Production has 12 new celebrities playing the game this winter and CBS has revealed them to help spark interest in the show. Cast photos and bios are available for readers that want to take a deeper look at the Celebrity Big Brother cast. Some of the names playing the game this season are Ryan Lochte, Lolo Jones, Tamar Braxton, Tom Green, and Ricky Williams.
There are a few Celebrity Big Brother spoilers already available, as producers turned on the live feeds for a bit. This allowed subscribers to see the cast members interacting, which showed alliances that are starting to form. The big piece of news, though, is that there is already a Head of Household in charge of the game. That person has to pick two people to nominate for eviction and possibly make themselves a target later in the season.
You only get one chance to make a first impression... so premiere night is bound to be something memorable! Here’s @JulieChen with more… #BBCeleb pic.twitter.com/UVpqS5PKXh
