There is an unprecedented buzz surrounding the 20th season of Bigg Boss as it is set to be released on September 6, 2026. While there are many aspects which remain undisclosed by the production house, hints given by Salman Khan in the promos of the show have revealed the possibility of having a pairs and teams format for the upcoming season of the show.
Mysterious hints like “Karan Arjun” and “Ek Vardaan” given by the makers of Bigg Boss 20 along with the buzz around it hint at some other possible twist in the story. With the introduction of this format, the makers are expected to introduce two teams, eight pairs and 16 participants in the show.
Bigg Boss 20 Could Follow A Two-Team Format
As per the recent news that is doing rounds regarding the reality show, Bigg Boss 20 has the potential of grouping the contestants into two different teams. Rather than being individuals for the entire period of the show, the contestants might need to collaborate within their respective teams amid nomination battles, assignments, and competition.

Eight Pairs Could Become The Centre Of The Game
Another significant aspect of the proposed format is the fact that there could be up to eight pairs playing in the house. In light of the fact that there will reportedly be 16 participants playing in the game show, this could prove to be very significant during the beginning stages of the show.
It could bring about some very intriguing circumstances where individuals would have to think of whether their loyalty should come first before their own safety.
