The Oscars have officially confirmed the schedule for their upcoming two ceremonies, after which they will not only be changing the venue of the event but also its streaming and broadcast strategies. As per the latest update, the 99th edition of the ceremony, the 2027 Oscars, will be held on Sunday, March 14. Meanwhile, the 2028 Oscars, marking the 100th year of the ceremony, will be held on Sunday, March 5. In both years, the event will begin at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT.
Oscars announce 2027 and 2028 dates, also confirm streaming move
As previously reported, the upcoming two ceremonies will be the last years they are held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, where they have been for a long time. The Oscars are set to move to the LA LIVE complex in downtown Los Angeles, ending a 26-year run at the iconic venue since 2002. LA Live’s Peacock Theater is also the venue where the Primetime Emmy Awards have been held each year since 2008. The deal is signed between the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and AEG for a period of 10 years, as confirmed by both organizations on March 26, 2026.
Apart from the location, the viewer experience will also change as the streaming rights have been taken away from ABC and handed over to YouTube. The 101st Oscars, which will likely take place in early March 2029, will be available to watch via the Red Video streaming service. This ends their partnership with the channel after 53 years, which had been broadcasting on ABC since 1976. The deal was signed late last year and is expected to continue through at least 2033, according to an update from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in December 2025. It will be available to watch online through a free livestream on the platform.
Red carpet preshows and behind-the-scenes content at the show, Oscar nomination announcements, Governors Awards and more benefits are part of their conversation.
