The next major award show is the 78th Primetime Emmys on Monday, September 14, 2026, on NBC and Peacock. From there the season runs through winter: the Critics Choice Awards on January 3, 2027, the Golden Globes on January 10, the Grammys on February 7, the Actor Awards — formerly the SAG Awards — on February 28, and the 99th Oscars on March 14, 2027. Every ceremony date below is officially announced; only some nomination dates are still pending.

Start times, where announced: the Golden Globes go live at 5 p.m. Pacific, the Critics Choice Awards run from 7 p.m. Eastern, and the Actor Awards stream at 8 p.m. Eastern on Netflix. If you only keep three of these dates, keep September 14, January 10, and March 14 — television's big night, the season's loudest party, and the finish line.

Broadcast changes

Check the broadcaster as well as the date when planning a watch party.

The Grammys left CBS. The 69th ceremony airs on ABC, with streaming on Disney+ and Hulu — the show's first time off CBS after more than five decades there.

The SAG Awards go by a new name now. SAG-AFTRA calls its show the Actor Awards — the trophy was already called The Actor, so the title finally caught up with the statue — and the February 28 ceremony streams live on Netflix.

The Critics Choice Awards did not move — the January 3 show airs on E! and USA Network for the third straight year — but if you last checked when the show lived on The CW, it will still feel new.

What is still unannounced

The Tony Awards have no confirmed 2027 date. The Broadway League has announced ceremonies only through June 2026, and the pattern is an early-June Sunday on CBS. Ticket sites publishing a specific June 2027 date are guessing; when the League sets one, it will say so itself. Pencil in June, and treat anything more precise as unofficial.

Nomination dates for the Actor Awards and the Gothams are also still pending. The ones already on the calendar — November 16 for the Grammys, December 2 for the Spirit Awards, December 4 for Critics Choice, December 7 for the Globes, January 21 for the Oscars — are official.
