Get ready competition fans, because it looks like starting tomorrow, you aren’t going to be getting much sleep. On Tuesday, Paramount announced that when the 25th season of the iconic reality show “Big Brother” premieres on CBS on Tuesday, Aug. 2 at 8 p.m. ET, it will be followed by the launch of dedicated live feeds on the company’s free, ad-supported streaming platform Pluto TV. The around-the-clock live feeds will continue to be available ad-free on Paramount’s flagship streamer Paramount+, but now fans can keep up with all of the Machiavelian houseguest machinations for free.

Pluto will launch five pop-up channels dedicated exclusively to “Big Brother.” Four of these channels will feature the live feeds with a fifth being dedicated to showing all of the action from inside the house at the same time. Pluto will show commercials on these channels, but Paramount is promising that they will be “limited ad-breaks.”

The “Big Brother” house has been outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones that capture and record every move that happens 24 hours per day. The main episodes of “Big Brother” will air on Sundays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET and on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. Julie Chen Moonves will return as host while 16 houseguests compete to win $750,000.

Ahead of the season premiere, CBS introduced this year’s competitors that range from a 21-year-old college student to a 63-year-old real estate agent.

Subscribers to Paramount+’s ad-free premium tier — Paramount+ with SHOWTIME — will be able to watch all three episodes per week live via the CBS affiliate live stream, while customers signed up for the ad-supported Paramount+ Essential package will be able to watch on demand the day after the episode airs.

    Pluto TV

    Pluto TV is a free streaming service backed by Paramount that offers a traditional cable-like channel surfing experience. The service offers hundreds of free round-the-clock channels, including classics like “Star Trek,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “The Price is Right.”

    …

    Rather than attempting to carry expensive local broadcast affiliates or high-profile live sports leagues, the lineup leans heavily into curated thematic programming. You will find dedicated channels cycling non-stop episodes of many classic TV shows, alongside niche feeds for anime, true crime, classic sitcoms, and live headline news loops from outlets like CBS News. Alongside the live grid, there is also a hefty on-demand vault filled with older Hollywood catalog films, cult classics, and complete archived series.

    Because Pluto TV mirrors linear broadcast television, you cannot pause or fast-forward through commercial breaks, nor is there a cloud DVR feature to record airings for later viewing. That said, it’s a great alternative for those looking for a wide range of channels without subscription fees.
