JioStar confirms that Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20, Tamil 10, Telugu 10, Kannada 13 and Malayalam 8 premiere on Sunday, September 6, 2026. Bigg Boss Bangla launched on August 30, so it is already live.

The simultaneous South launch creates one of the biggest Bigg Boss weekends of the year. Fans searching for premiere dates, hosts, streaming information, contestants and voting details will have five editions starting on the same Sunday, while Bangla is already producing episodes.
Contestants and voting: what is official?
Pre-premiere contestant lists are changing quickly and many online lists mix confirmed names with speculation. We therefore label a contestant as confirmed only when supported by an official broadcaster, JioHotstar or JioStar announcement. Voting instructions are also updated only when the official voting mechanism is active.
