The most-anticipated reality TV event of the year officially has a date, a host, and a guarantee of unfiltered drama as BBNaija’s most talked-about season gets its long-awaited reckoning.
Nigeria’s entertainment calendar just got its biggest date of the summer. MultiChoice Nigeria, a CANAL+ company, confirmed Monday that the BBNaija Season 10 Reunion Show premieres on June 8, 2026, bringing all 29 housemates from the landmark ’10 Over 10′ season back together under one roof for the first time since the October 5, 2025 finale. The announcement detonated social media, with the hashtag #BBNaijaReunion trending nationally within hours and fan groups already compiling their lists of unfinished business from months of post-show drama.
The reunion airs weeknights at 10:00 PM WAT on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv Channel 151, GOtv Channel 8) and at 10:30 PM WAT on Africa Magic Family (DStv Channel 154, GOtv Channel 7). Each episode drops on the DStv Stream and GOtv Stream apps the following day, expanding the show’s reach beyond linear television to Nigeria’s fast-growing digital streaming audience. Media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu returns as host. ‘The timelines have theories. The fans have receipts. The BBNaija S10 housemates are back on the couch, and nothing is off the table,’ the official announcement read.
Season 10 concluded with Opeyemi Ayanwale, popularly known as Imisi, emerging as champion with 42.84 percent of the public votes. The 23-year-old fashion designer and actress from Oyo State walked away with a grand prize of N150 million, including N80 million in cash and a brand-new Innoson SUV. But it is not the winner who drives the most anticipation at the reunion. The disqualification of housemate Faith in the season’s final week, following a physical altercation with Sultana, remains the most unresolved storyline. Faith’s removal happened without the extended on-screen explanation that viewers demanded, and the reunion gives all parties their first opportunity to address it with a moderator and a live audience watching.
Season 10 produced some of its most viral moments in years, including a spoon-related standoff that dominated X for days and a series of romantic entanglements that split fan bases across the continent. The season ran from July to October 2025, featured the largest cast in the programme’s history, and introduced a restructured Head of House challenge alongside an Influential Player of the Week format that generated consistent controversy. Every week of Season 10 produced at least one social media moment significant enough to trend nationally.
MultiChoice has confirmed that preparations for Season 11 are already underway, with physical auditions held in Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu between May 22 and 24. The organization cautioned Nigerians against fraudsters demanding payment for BBNaija registration, emphasizing that auditions remain free and transparent. For the millions of Nigerians who follow BBNaija as the country’s premium shared cultural experience, the next six days are a countdown to the loudest week in Nigerian entertainment.
