MultiChoice Nigeria has officially announced the commencement of auditions for the eleventh season of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija), Africa's premier reality television show. The auditions will be conducted physically this year, marking a continuation of the in-person format introduced in the previous season.
Audition Registration Details
According to a post shared on Instagram on Saturday, interested applicants must register between May 16 and May 20. Participation is free and strictly open to Nigerians aged 21 and above who possess a valid means of identification. The organisers emphasized that audition slots are limited, and the registration portal will close once the maximum capacity is reached. Successful applicants will receive confirmation emails containing details of the physical auditions scheduled for May 22 to May 24 in Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu.
What to Expect in Season 11
Following the success of previous editions, the upcoming season is expected to feature a fresh lineup of housemates competing for the grand prize. Industry insiders have hinted at major twists to the nomination and eviction process, aiming to make the competition more unpredictable for both contestants and viewers. The live show is anticipated to run for 10 weeks, continuing the franchise's tradition of showcasing intense social interactions, tasks, and entertainment that have made BBNaija a continental sensation.
BBNaija returned to physical auditions during its 2025 tenth edition after six years of virtual screenings. The tenth season combined online applications with physical screenings in Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu. The show first introduced online auditions in 2019 to enable aspiring contestants who could not attend physical venues to participate.
