Oscars Dates Set for 2027 and 2028-May 2024
May 21, 2026 11:17 PM

The Oscars ceremony, which was held on March 15 this year, will be staying in mid-March in 2027 and will then move to early March in 2028, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Tuesday.

The 2027 Oscars, which will be the 99th edition of the ceremony, will take place on Sunday, March 14. The 2028 Oscars, marking the ceremonys centennial, will be held on Sunday, March 5. Both shows will begin at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.

As was previously announced, these will be the final Oscars ceremonies held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and broadcast on ABC. In 2029, the show will move to downtown Los Angeles LA LIVE complex and will begin streaming on YouTube. The date of the Oscars has fluctuated significantly in recent years, ranging from Feb. 9 (2020, moved up to combat awards fatigue) to April 21 (2021, moved back due to the pandemic), with the Academy and ABC trying to avoid direct conflicts with the NFL playoffs, the Olympics and other major events.

The Academy also announced a host of other key dates pertaining to the 2026-2027 Oscars season
