The Game Awards 2026 will stream live on Disney+ on Thursday, December 10, from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The announcement was made on November 12 by Disney and Geoff Keighley, the show's creator and host, who confirmed the news in a post on X.
It is the first time the ceremony arrives on a major streaming platform. The broadcast starts at 7:30 p.m. ET (9:30 p.m. in Brasília), with the Opening Act pre-show 30 minutes earlier. Disney+ will carry the event in the United States and in selected international markets — the full list has not been disclosed yet.
Disney also brings game reveals
The partnership goes beyond streaming: Disney promises game reveals from its franchises during the ceremony, alongside the traditional world premieres. The company also pointed to its gaming-related programming, such as the Death Stranding Isolations anime and the animated adaptation of Disney Twisted-Wonderland.
Disney+ joins the usual platforms — YouTube, Twitch, X, TikTok, Steam and Prime Video — with no exclusivity. Last year, the show debuted on Prime Video; in 2025, the livestream totaled 171 million views, according to Bleeding Cool.
Also inside Roblox
Another new feature is a stream inside Roblox: players aged 18 and older will be able to watch the full ceremony on the platform, as well as vote and interact with the show in real time.
Nominees for The Game Awards 2026 will be revealed in mid-November, and fan voting will open on the official website after the announcement.
