Geoff Keighley has locked in the details for The Game Awards 2026, confirming when and where the industry’s biggest night will take place.
The show returns in December, keeping its familiar end-of-year slot. This comes after a record-breaking edition last year, which pulled in more than 171 million global livestream views. With 2026 shaping up to be a packed year for major releases, expectations are already high.
The Game Awards 2026 lands on December 10
The Game Awards 2026 will air on December 10, arriving one day earlier than the previous show. The venue remains unchanged, with the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles once again hosting the event. Fans around the world will be able to watch live through YouTube and Twitch.
As usual, full details will roll out closer to the date. Nominees are typically revealed late in the year, once the release calendar has settled. Until then, speculation will do most of the heavy lifting.
Beyond the trophies, The Game Awards has become a major stage for announcements. World premieres and surprise reveals are now a key part of the night. Recent shows delivered new looks at titles like Tomb Raider: Catalyst & Legacy of Atlantis, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, and Divinity.
With preparations already underway, December 10 is now firmly marked on the calendar.
