The full Celebrity Traitors 2026 episode schedule as day change is confirmed

It’s finally almost time for Celebrity Traitors 2026, but there has been a big change to the schedule this year, so make sure you don’t get caught out. 

The celebrity edition is returning for its second year on Thursday, 1st October, after Alan Carr, Joe Marler and Cat Burns, just to name a few, played an absolute blinder last year.

After deceiving his way to the final as a Traitor and being crowned the winner, Carr created one of the most brilliant telly moments of all time as he broke down in tears because he felt so bad. 

It’s going to be a hard series to beat, but the cast is stacked full of comedians this year, including Joe Lycett, James Acaster, Miranda Hart, Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett, so I have a good feeling. 

Here’s the full Celebrity Traitors 2026 episode schedule and day change, so you know exactly when to tune in.
