2026 People's Choice Awards

The 2026 People’s Choice Awards (PCAs) will take place on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. Broadcast live from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, on NBC, E!, and Peacock, the ceremony remains unique as the only major Hollywood awards show where winners are chosen entirely by the general public. While the 2026 nominations were finalized in early January, the February 18 ceremony is the culmination of millions of global fan votes across 45+ categories spanning movies, television, music, and pop culture. Comedian and Saturday Night Live alum Simu Liu is returning to host for a second consecutive year, bringing his signature blend of Marvel-star charisma and self-deprecating humor.
