The eleventh season of the American television sitcom The Big Bang Theory aired on CBS from September 25, 2017 to May 10, 2018.
The series returned to its regular Thursday night time slot on November 2, 2017 after Thursday Night Football on CBS ended.
As of 2026, this season is the last time a scripted network television show has been ranked No. 1 in the US by Nielsen.
Production
In March 2017, the series was renewed for an eleventh and twelfth season, running through the 2018–19 television season.
Like the previous season, the first five episodes of the eleventh season aired on Mondays due to CBS' contractual rights to air the Thursday Night Football games.
Filming for the eleventh season began on August 15, 2017; it was also announced with the taping report that the premiere for the eleventh season would be titled "The Proposal Proposal". Before the season premiered, five episodes were filmed from August 15 to September 19, 2017.
According to TV Guide, Steve Holland announced on September 22, 2017, that both Bob Newhart and Wil Wheaton would return this season after their absences during the tenth season. A clip showing a wedding gift from Stephen Hawking was released separately, although not included in the twenty-fourth episode.

Why this record matters
“The Big Bang Theory season 11” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Bang, Theory and season provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30322401. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2018 and 2026.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
