The eighth season of the reality game show Pinoy Big Brother, subtitled Otso (Spanish for eight), aired on ABS-CBN for 268 days from November 10, 2018 to August 4, 2019, replacing Star Hunt: The Grand Audition Show, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim and The Kids Choice and was replaced by Gangnam Beauty, Encounter, the second season of I Can See Your Voice and iWant Originals.

Four batches of housemates, two civilian adults and two teenager groups, compete to be the winner of their respective batches. By the fifth batch, all finalists from each batch return to compete for eight slots in the finale. The show concluded with Yamyam Gucong being declared as the winner of the whole season.[1][2][3]

This was the longest season of Pinoy Big Brother yet, having reached 268 days—surpassing Lucky 7 by 32. This season is the third longest season of Big Brother worldwide and also had the second highest number of housemates in a season (58), trailing Big Brother Germany’s fifth and sixth seasons, which lasted for 365 and 363 days respectively, and had 59 housemates each.
