 Ahead of the new season, aspiring contestants underwent physical auditions held from May 22 to 24 in Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu.

The audition process was free of charge and open only to Nigerians aged 21 years and above who possessed a valid means of identification.

 The upcoming edition follows the success of the 2025 season, which was won by Opeyemi Ayanwale, popularly known as Imisi.

Imisi emerged victorious over 28 other housemates in the grand finale held on October 5, 2025, taking home a prize package worth N150 million, including N80 million in cash and a brand-new SUV.
