When Is The Celebrity Traitors Final? Date, Time and Where to Watch

The Celebrity Traitors series two finale airs Friday, October 30, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. in the UK on BBC One. The broadcast runs to 9:20 p.m., followed immediately by a special episode of The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked. Viewers can also watch live through BBC iPlayer or catch up when the episode becomes available on demand. The final is episode 10, not episode 9: the ninth and penultimate episode is scheduled for Thursday, October 29.

The Celebrity Traitors finale: date, time, and channel

Here is the spoiler-free viewing schedule for the final two nights of the 2026 BBC series. All times are for London and the rest of the UK, using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+00:00) on these dates.

The BBC programme listing for the finale identifies the conclusion as episode 10 of 10. Its programme runtime is listed at about 77 minutes, while the television schedule reserves an 80-minute slot. For planning your evening, use the BBC One slot, which ends at 9:20 p.m.

Is episode 9 the Celebrity Traitors final?

No. Episode 9, on Thursday, October 29, is the penultimate installment. It continues the remaining contestants' struggle at the Round Table, with another banishment and a mission as the prize pot nears its final value. The BBC listing for episode 9 labels it episode 9 of 10, so viewers searching for “The Celebrity Traitors episode 9” should not mistake that programme for the last episode.

The following night, Friday, October 30, brings the actual conclusion. The remaining players face their last mission and the decisive choice between ending the game and voting to banish another suspected Traitor. This article does not identify surviving players or reveal any outcome from the closing episodes.

Why is the finale at 8 p.m. GMT rather than BST?

British Summer Time ended on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when the UK clocks went back one hour. As the UK government clock-change calendar confirms, the UK is therefore on GMT (UTC+00:00) for both October 29 and October 30. A listed 8:00 p.m. UK broadcast starts at 20:00 UTC on the same calendar date. Do not apply the summer UTC+01:00 offset to this finale.

BBC listings use UK broadcast times. If you are checking from another country, convert from the confirmed 20:00 UTC start using the rules in force where you live on October 30, rather than assuming the UK remains on summer time.

How can you watch the Celebrity Traitors finale live or later?

Watch live on BBC One

Tune to BBC One on Friday, October 30, before 8:00 p.m. GMT. The main episode is scheduled to finish at 9:20 p.m., which makes it longer than a standard one-hour episode. Check the broadcaster's current on-screen guide on the day in case of a late schedule change.

Use BBC iPlayer for streaming and catch-up

In the UK, open BBC iPlayer, sign in to your BBC account if prompted, and select the BBC One live stream at 8:00 p.m. GMT. If you miss the broadcast, search for The Celebrity Traitors and select series two, episode 10 after the full episode appears. The BBC's programme listing indicates that the episode should be available shortly after broadcast; it does not guarantee an exact minute for on-demand publication.

A TV Licence is required in the UK to watch BBC One live or any BBC programme on iPlayer, including on-demand viewing. This requirement also applies when watching on a phone, laptop, or smart TV; see the TV Licensing guidance. Streaming availability outside the UK may differ, and the BBC One date does not establish an overseas release date.

What is the Uncloaked finale special?

The companion programme The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, hosted by Ed Gamble, follows the main final at 9:20 p.m. GMT on October 30. The scheduled 40-minute edition features Claudia Winkleman and finalists discussing the endgame with a studio audience. It is intended for viewers who have already seen the result: expect discussion of the Traitors' identities, the deciding votes, and the final outcome.

If you want to avoid spoilers, watch the main episode first. On BBC iPlayer, look for the separate Uncloaked programme rather than expecting it to be included automatically at the end of episode 10.

What is at stake in the final?

The second celebrity series features 21 well-known contestants playing for a charity prize of up to £100,000. Claudia Winkleman presents the contest, which is made by Studio Lambert Scotland. Each episode turns on the central divide between the secret Traitors and the Faithful who try to identify them. The winner's chosen charity benefits from the prize, rather than the money being treated as a personal payday. The format and charity stakes are described in the BBC series information.

The final changes the focus from surviving another round to resolving the game. Faithful players need to ensure no Traitor remains when the game ends; a Traitor who survives the final decisions can deny them victory. It is this final test of trust—not simply the number of contestants still standing—that makes the conclusion worth watching.

Final-night viewing checklist

• Thursday, October 29: Watch episode 9 at 8:00 p.m. GMT if you want to be fully caught up.

• Allow 80 minutes: The finale's scheduled television slot runs through 9:20 p.m. GMT.
• Stay for Uncloaked: The 40-minute finale special is due immediately afterward, finishing at 10:00 p.m. GMT.

For last-minute changes, the BBC programme listing for the finale is the most relevant reference. As of October 29, the confirmed date remains Friday, October 30, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. GMT on BBC One.
