Big Brother Albania is the Albanian version of the Dutch reality competition franchise Big Brother created by producer John de Mol Jr. in 1997. It follows a number of contestants, known as housemates, who are isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom-built house. Each week, one of the housemates is evicted by a public vote, with the last housemate remaining winning a cash prize. The series started airing on 24 February 2008 on Top Channel and it has had nine seasons to date. Arbana Osmani hosted the first seven seasons and the ninth season. Ledion Liço hosted the eighth season as Osmani was pregnant and took time off to be with her family.
The eviction show aired on Saturdays except for the seventh season where the eviction show was moved to Fridays.
There are also two live pay-per-view channels available on Albanian pay TV platform DigitAlb to watch during this series.
