Organisers of the popular reality television show, Big Brother Naija, have announced that physical auditions for Season 11 will begin on May 22 across Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu.
Registration opens nationwide for aspiring housemates
The organisers disclosed this in a statement shared on Instagram, noting that online registration opened on May 16 and will close on May 20, 2026.
According to the organisers, only Nigerians aged 21 and above with valid means of identification are eligible to apply for the audition process.
Speaking on the development, the organisers stated, “Biggie is calling once again, and this season promises to be bigger and more competitive. Interested participants are encouraged to complete their registration early because available spaces are limited.”
Auditions to hold in Lagos, Abuja, Enugu
Selected applicants are expected to attend the physical screening exercise scheduled for May 22 to May 24 in the three designated cities. The organisers added that the audition process remains free for all participants.
Another statement from the organisers read, “We are returning to physical auditions to reconnect directly with fans and discover unique personalities from different parts of the country. Nigerians should expect another exciting season filled with entertainment and surprises.”
The return to physical auditions marks a shift from the virtual and hybrid methods used in recent editions to accommodate wider participation during previous seasons.
Recall that Season 10 of the reality show ended on October 5, 2025, with Opeyemi Ayanwale, popularly known as Imisi, emerging winner after defeating 28 other contestants to claim the grand prize.
