Dun, dun-dun-dun dun, dun-dun-dun dun! If there’s one thing that’s gotten us through the dark, cold nights of January 2026, it’s been tuning into BBC 1 three nights a week to hear that melodramatic theme music. With traitor-on-traitor violence, multiple secret relationships, some truly iconic knitwear and more gasp-worthy plot twists than Claudia Winkleman has had spray tans, this might just have been the best series of the camp-as-Christmas gameshow yet.

Can Rachel and Stephen’s Celtic alliance take them all the way? Does Faraaz know more than he’s letting on? Will James finally vote out an actual traitor? We’ll get all the answers from 9pm tomorrow during the climactic finale. And if you fancy watching it somewhere with a wee bit more atmosphere than your living room, there are a bunch of live screening parties happening across London, many of which are free to attend.

So don your cloak, grab yourself a chalice of wine and settle in to catch all the drama at one of these London venues screening the final episode.

Lively Dalston pub the Three Compasses will be playing the final on its two projectors, with subtitles on so you don’t miss any meme-worthy quotes. Entry is free but booking is very much advised.

99 Dalston Lane, E8 1NH. Free (booking advised).

Indie pub the Regent is taking a break from showing live sports in its sizeable beer garden to host another Traitors finale party, featuring themed cocktails courtesy of sustainable drinks brand Fair Liqueurs.

21 Chestnut Grove, SW12 8JB. Free (booking advised). 

The Perky Nel, Clapham

The Regent’s cosy sister pub by Clapham Common is also peddling themed cocktails for the occasion. The action is best enjoyed with some loaded fries or nachos.

The Conductor, Farringdon

Fleet Place gastropub The Conductor will be hosting a Traitors-themed quiz from 7pm ahead of the final, with 2 for £15 cocktails all night. We’ll be going for the murder-ita.
