The Game Awards has announced that its 2026 nominees will be revealed in a live Nomination Special on Tuesday, November 17, at 9 a.m. Pacific and noon Eastern on YouTube and Twitch. Host and executive producer Geoff Keighley will announce the nominees in all categories, including Game of the Year. Nominees are chosen by a global jury of media and creator outlets, and fan voting opens on the awards' official website immediately after the special.
The ceremony itself is set for Thursday, December 10, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with the opening act at 4:30 p.m. Pacific. Alongside world-premiere announcements and live musical performances, the show will stream on more platforms than ever: Disney+, Live TV on PS5 and Roblox join for the first time, alongside YouTube, Twitch, Steam, TikTok Live, X, Kick, Facebook and Instagram Live.
Under the eligibility rules, games commercially available by 9 p.m. Pacific on Friday, November 20 are eligible this year, which puts Grand Theft Auto VI, launching November 19, inside the window. The show's executive producers are Geoff Keighley and Kimmie Kim. (Source: The Game Awards)
