BFB 5 is the upcoming fifth episode of Battle for BFDI. It was most likely to be released on January 5, 2018, but since the script took two weeks to write, Thomas Chick announced on HTwins Central that he just got the script, meaning the episode is delayed. Thomas also thinks that it will be released by January 12, 2018.

It is confirmed that Cake will have an appearance and more of a role in the episode.

Trivia / Speculation

 * It will be the first episode to be aired in 2018.
 * This will be the first BFB episode to air in the month of January.
 * Pie  has the second-highest number of votes. This is possibly due to her lack of appearances and contributions in the past few episodes. The majority voted Pie because she didn't show up in episode 4, but showed up only in the intro.
 * This will be the first time in BFB that a contestant whose name doesn't start with "B" gets the least votes (Bubble, Balloony, Bomby).
 * It is likely that a team that hasn't lost yet will lose, based on the past episodes.
 * That could mean the teams who have been up for elimination before (iance, Beep, Team Ice Cube! and Death P.A.C.T.) may be safe from suffering elimination.
 * This will be the fourth time in a row that the record of votes has increased and the votes entirely of the episode.
 * This will be the first time somebody that is not a team captain will be eliminated.
 * There is a possibility that a "Happy 8th Birthday, BFDI!" stinger may play before the episode begins.
 * This might be the first episode with everyone having at least 1000 votes.
 * If BFB 3 wasn't delayed, then the episode would be released on December 29th, 2017.
 * In Cary's reaction to Today's Very Special Episode, he said that this episode and future episodes of BFB would have more locations.
 * Tennis_ball_voting_icon.png is likely that team A Better Name Than That will lose this time around since a voting icon for Tennis Ball was found in the source files of BFB 4.
 * The current vote count is only 7 more votes than in Today's Very Special Episode.
 * This episode may have a 60 hour voting period, due to the delay, since Why Would You Do This on a Swingset was delayed and had a 60 hour voting period.
