“The Game Awards” To Livestream On Disney+
As Disney looks to expand its live programming available on Disney+, it has announced that “The Game Awards”, the video game industry’s biggest celebration, will stream live on Disney+ on Thursday, 10th December 2026, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT in the United States and in select international markets.
The event, honouring the video game industry’s most innovative games, studios and creative talent of 2026, will give fans front-row access to the night’s prestigious awards, world premiere game announcements and musical performances as they happen live from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.
Disney has been livestreaming many different award shows, including the Country Music Awards and Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall Of Fame, and Disney+ has also been getting more involved in sharing more video game stories, with shows based on “Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation”, along with upcoming shows “Death Stranding Isolations” and “Kingdom Hearts: The Animated Series”. It has also been livestreaming video game events from Korea.
Leading up to “The Game Awards”, fans can help choose the winners in all categories once nominations are announced and voting opens later this month.
“The Game Awards” is executive produced by Geoff Keighley and Kimmie Kim. Richard Preuss serves as director, LeRoy Bennett as the creative director, and Lara Karchmer as co-executive producer.
Roger’s Take: I don’t watch many award shows a year, but “The Game Awards” is different because this is when many of the biggest video game companies make huge announcements about upcoming titles, so it’s not just a case of revealing the best games of the year, but titles we’re likely all going to be playing for years to come. Disney+ getting more live events is also continuing to build the platform out as much more than just Marvel, Star Wars and Disney films.
