The fourth season of the reality game show Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition, subtitled Collab, stylized as Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0, aired on GMA Network for 127 days from October 25, 2025 to February 28, 2026.
This season features teen celebrities from the talent agencies Star Magic and Sparkle GMA Artist Center. As part of a collaboration between ABS-CBN Studios, the franchise holder, and GMA Network, the season continues the format akin to the preceding celebrity season, which sees housemates from both networks compete in groups throughout the show's run. The season is presented by a roster of hosts led by Bianca Gonzalez, with Luis Manzano returning as a presenter.
After 127 days, Caprice Cayetano and Lella Ford were named the winners at the finale held at the Crossroad Center.
This was the last season held at the Big Brother house on Eugenio Lopez Drive in Quezon City where it had been located since the inception of the Philippine franchise in 2005.

Format
The season is the second run of the Celebrity Collab Edition, which features celebrities signed to the talent agencies Sparkle GMA Artist Center (locally known as Kapuso) and Star Magic (locally known as Kapamilya), with one housemate from each agency being named a winner at the end of the season.
Collab 2.0. format
On Day 8 (November 2), Big Brother revealed the "2.0" format. Before the duo phase, the housemates competed as part of various groups with equal members of Kapuso and Kapamilya housemates. Before the nominations, the groups compete against one another for immunity in Ligtask challenges. Afterward, the nominations take place, where each group nominates another group for eviction.
All members of the group with the most nomination points face the public vote conducted through the Philippine e-wallet Maya, with the Kapuso housemate and the Kapamilya housemate with the least votes being evicted from the house. On Day 58 (December 21), the show briefly reverted to the regular Collab format from the previous season, where the housemates compete as duos. However, unlike the previous season, the public votes to save housemates individually, rather than by pair. Like the previous season, the process will repeat until one Kapuso and one Kapamilya housemate are voted to be the Big Winners at the end of the season.
Housemates
On Day 1 (October 25), all 20 celebrity teen housemates entered the house, tying the previous season for the largest cast for a celebrity edition of Pinoy Big Brother. Leading up to the series kickoff, eight of these housemates were revealed from October 21 to 24, 2025, with two housemates introduced daily through 24 Oras. Each revealed housemate was also featured in an exclusive individual interview.
Houseguests
Within the framework of Pinoy Big Brother, the term "houseguest" designates an individual invited to enter the Big Brother house. Some of these houseguests are introduced with the explicit purpose of residing for an extended duration and deliberately chosen to influence the dynamics among the official housemates—thereby affecting relationships or altering the competition's trajectory. Conversely, other houseguests serve primarily as visitors; their stay within the house is typically brief, often entailing specific tasks assigned by Big Brother, or their presence fulfills a particular purpose. This can include, for instance, introducing a new game twist, presenting a unique challenge to the housemates, providing gifts to the housemates, or engaging them in conversation.
For this season, the following individuals entered as houseguests:

The Big Night
The two-hour season finale, titled The Big Night, aired on February 28 at The Crossroad Center in Mother Ignacia Avenue, Quezon City, with a special timeslot running from 7:15 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.
The Ultimate 8 faced the public vote to determine the Ultimate Big Winners, with the public allowed to cast their unlimited votes to save through Maya.
The Kapuso and Kapamilya housemate that got the highest combined votes, from the public and with the votes that they got from the One Million Votes Challenge, were declared as the Ultimate Big Winners of the season.
The big winners per talent agency received ₱1,000,000 each, while the second, third, and fourth big placers per talent agency received ₱500,000, ₱300,000, and ₱200,000 each respectively.
The event was held at the Crossroads Center in Quezon City, featuring performances and appearances from a number of Pinoy Big Brother personalities and artists. The lineup included Gen 11 winner Fyang Smith, Celebrity Collab Edition Kapuso 3rd Big Placer Charlie Fleming, Gen 11 4th Big Placer Kai Montinola, and former housemates JM Ibarra of Gen 11 and Kyle Echarri of Kumunity Season 10. P-pop groups BGYO and Cloud 7 also performed, alongside other former housemates from the season.
Many firsts in the show's history happened during this season's big night: A task held live inside the Big Brother house, moments before the housemates get out ahead to the venue, as well as the Ultimate 8 faced the public before the announcement of the winners.
Production
Development
During the finale of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition on July 5, 2025, Bianca Gonzalez confirmed that the collaboration between ABS-CBN and GMA Network, together with the program's "duo format", would continue for a second season. In late September 2025, teasers for a forthcoming season began appearing on the reality show's official Facebook page, featuring the subtitle "2.0". On September 29, the new installment was formally confirmed on the news program 24 Oras, with the premiere date set for October 25.
Theme
Like the preceding season, the season features artists from Star Magic and Sparkle GMA Artist Center. However, for this season, the cast would be composed of teen stars and "Gen Z" artists. The season used a new rendition of "Kabataang Pinoy" (transl. Filipino Youth), the show's theme song used for teen editions as its main theme, sang by P-pop boy groups BGYO and Cloud 7.
Meanwhile, the official eviction song for this edition is titled "Sa Isang Kisap" performed by PBB ex-housemate Klarisse de Guzman.
Hosts
On October 20, GMA Network confirmed that all hosts from the previous season—Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, Enchong Dee, Alexa Ilacad, Gabbi Garcia, and Mavy Legaspi—would return for the season, being joined by an undisclosed "original host" who would be making an "exclusive comeback" on the show. On the premiere night, Luis Manzano was revealed to be the returning addition, marking his return to the show since Teen Edition Plus in 2008.

Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0. premiered on GMA Network on October 25, 2025, with a new episode being aired daily thereafter. Two companion shows support the show: Updates and OnlineVerse, both carrying over from the previous season.

Ratings
According to AGB Nielsen Philippines' Nationwide Urban Television Audience Measurement People in television homes, the pilot episode of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 earned an 8.0% rating, 0.6% lower than its predecessor's rating in its pilot episode. The final episode scored a 10.8% rating, 0.3% higher than previous edition.
Notable events
In an episode aired on December 8, 2025, concerns were raised over remarks made by certain male housemates toward female housemates, which some viewers perceived as inappropriate or sexually suggestive. Following each episode, the show releases data on peak concurrent viewership and trending topics on its official social media accounts. However, in the post dated December 9, 2025, the list of trending topics was omitted despite ongoing online discussions related to the episode. This prompted some viewers to raise concerns and call the attention of the show’s female hosts and the women’s organization Gabriela.
As a result to the numerous complaints of the public regarding the issue and other concerns within the show, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board or MTRCB conducted a preliminary conference on December 18, 2025. And with the production team of the show and the officials of the board, they discussed and addressed the complaints and even suggest different measures to ensure the protection and welfare, not just for the housemates but also for the viewers, especially their younger audiences.
