Oscar season may be over, but London is in awards mode again on Sunday thanks to the BAFTA TV Awards.
The 2026 BAFTA TV honors are being handed out at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in the British capital. Netflix drama Adolescence led the nominations with 11, followed by Disney+’s A Thousand Blows with seven. Comedian and Taskmaster host Greg Davies is hosting the awards ceremony.
Adolescence and The Celebrity Traitors were the biggest winners of the recent BAFTA Television Craft Awards, with each show receiving two prizes. Other honors went to Slow Horses, Andor, Amadeus, Reunion, Trespasses, The Celebrity Traitors, The Last Musician of Auschwitz and Mussolini: Son of the Century.
Sunday’s ceremony comes a month after BAFTA apologized “unreservedly” for the controversy surrounding John Davidson’s Tourette’s Syndrome outbursts at this year’s BAFTA Film Awards ceremony, following an independent review that found “a number of structural weaknesses in BAFTA’s planning, escalation procedures and crisis coordination arrangements.” In particular, the review highlighted that BAFTA “did not fully appreciate the nature of the risk associated with a live broadcast appearance, early warning signs were not escalated, and the absence of a clear operational command structure limited BAFTA’s ability to respond effectively once the incident occurred.”
Outgoing BAFTA chair Sara Putt, in her opening remarks, wished a happy 100th birthday to David Attenborough, which he celebrated on Friday, and said that “TV isn’t going anywhere” but will endure despite disruption and challenges.
With the TV craft honors complete, the stage is set for the remaining TV awards to celebrate the best of British TV. Who will win in London? Find out here.
THR will update the list of Sunday’s 2026 BAFTA TV Awards below throughout the ceremony, with winners highlighted in bold.
