The Game Awards 2026 (TGA 2026) is expanding its streaming lineup, as the year-end games celebration will now make its debut on Disney+ alongside Twitch and YouTube when it airs on 10 December.
As announced via a press release by Disney+, TGA 2026 will air on the streamer in the United States and select international markets, with the company also teasing “major announcements and surprises from some of Disney’s most anticipated titles in gaming”. With this in mind, fan theories are abuzz about what titles will be unveiled, with the most popular ones being Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts IV or Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi sequel.
This also follows a push by The Game Awards to streaming platforms, as 2025’s event previously made its debut on Amazon Prime Video, resulting in 171 million global livestreams across Prime Video, YouTube, Twitch, Steam, TikTok Live, X, Kick, Facebook and Instagram Live, alongside localised platforms in China and India. With its debut on a different streamer for this year’s iteration, it remains to be seen how viewership will stack up this time around.
Since its first iteration in 2014, The Game Awards has become the premier gaming showcase of the year, not only giving recognition to the best gaming titles, but also being home to some of the biggest announcements and reveals. 2025’s iteration, for example, brought a host of major trailer drops, including Leon S. Kennedy’s appearance in Resident Evil Requiem, Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, and two new Tomb Raider games, so hopefully, TGA 2026 will be no different.
The Game Awards is executive produced by creator Geoff Keighley, who also hosts the event, and Kimmie Kim, with Richard Preuss serving as director. TGA 2026 will air on 10 December beginning at 7:30pm ET (11 December 8:30am SGT) out of the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, and will now stream on Disney+, YouTube, Twitch, Steam, TikTok Live, X, Kick, Facebook and Instagram Live.
