Oscars Announces Dates for 2027 and 2028 Ceremonies to Mark 100 Years of Awards
Upcoming Ceremony Schedule
The Oscars have confirmed the dates for their next two ceremonies, with the 2027 Awards set for Sunday, March 14, and the 2028 ceremony, which will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the event, scheduled for Sunday, March 5. Both events will commence at 7 PM ET and 4 PM PT.
Location and Venue Changes
This announcement also marks the final years that the ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, a venue it has occupied for many years. Starting in 2029, the Oscars will relocate to the LA LIVE complex in downtown Los Angeles. This change ends a 26-year tradition at the Dolby Theatre, which began in 2002.
The new venue for the Oscars, the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live, has hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards since 2008. This transition is part of a ten-year agreement between the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and AEG, announced on March 26, 2026.
Streaming and Broadcasting Updates
In addition to the venue change, the streaming rights for the Oscars will move from ABC to YouTube. This shift will conclude their long-standing partnership, which has lasted 53 years, since the Oscars were first aired on ABC in 1976. The 101st Oscars, expected to be held in early March 2029, will be the first of the ceremonies available for viewing on YouTube, featuring a free livestream option.
The agreement regarding streaming rights was finalized late last year and is expected to last until at least 2033. This new deal will enhance viewer engagement, providing additional content such as the red carpet preshow, behind-the-scenes features, the Oscar nominations announcement, and the Governors Awards.
Conclusion
With these changes, the Academy aims to not only modernize the viewing experience but also to further celebrate the 100 years of cinema and the prestigious awards that honor outstanding achievements in film.
