Disney Plus will stream the 2026 Game Awards for the first time, joining Twitch and YouTube as official broadcast platforms. The event takes place Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, hosted by Geoff Keighley.
The show will feature awards ceremonies, musical performances, and game announcements. The move expands Disney Plus's live event offerings alongside its recent addition of the Banana Bowl Championship and the upcoming anime series Death Stranding Isolations, which launches next year.
This year's Game of the Year race remains unsettled. 007 First Light and Resident Evil Requiem, which won a Golden Joystick award, are contenders. Indie title Big Walk has generated discussion, though an AI controversy may affect its prospects. GTA 6 releases Nov. 19, one day before the eligibility cutoff, and some predict it could dominate the awards despite questions about whether voters will have sufficient time to evaluate it properly.
