The Game Awards 2026 Will Stream Live on Disney+

For the second year in a row, The Game Awards is adding a major streaming service to the list of places to watch the show, and this time it’s Disney+. Geoff Keighley, the show’s creator, announced on X that this year’s ceremony will air live on Disney+ on December 10, marking the first time the show will stream on the service worldwide. Keighley also made it clear that the Disney+ stream is in addition to all of the existing platforms and places where people already watch The Game Awards.

According to Disney+, the broadcast starts on Thursday, December 10 at 4:30 PM Pacific (7:30 PM Eastern), live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Disney+ says it will also carry the show in select international markets, and that the broadcast will include announcements from some of Disney’s upcoming games alongside the usual world premieres and musical performances. Nominees for this year’s show haven’t been announced yet, and fan voting will open on The Game Awards’ website once they are revealed.

Last year’s show was the first to stream on Prime Video, which was also a non-exclusive deal that ran alongside Twitch and YouTube. The Game Awards 2025 went on to set a record with 171 million livestreams, up from 154 million in 2024, and that figure didn’t include Prime Video viewing. I said at the time that it would be interesting to hear if any viewership numbers from Prime Video were ever shared. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, our favorite game of 2025, took home nine trophies at that show, including Game of the Year.
