The organisers of the G26 Awards have confirmed postponement of the event to Friday 26 February 2027.

The decision to move the event has been made following careful consideration of a number of factors affecting this year's event and the wider industry. The industry continues to navigate a period of change, with shifting patterns and evolving challenges which have impacted timelines this year. In addition, significant engineering works are scheduled to affect National Rail services between 26 and 30 November, alongside planned London Underground strike action on 26 and 27 November. These disruptions are expected to have a considerable impact on travel into and around London over the event weekend.

We want to ensure that everyone attending the G26 Awards has the best possible experience, with the opportunity to travel, connect and celebrate without unnecessary disruption. While we appreciate that a change of date may be disappointing, we believe moving the event to February is the right decision for our guests, finalists, judges and industry partners.

We look forward to welcoming you on Friday 26 February 2027 at the London Hilton on Park Lane for an evening of celebration, recognition and bringing our industry together.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to celebrating with you in February.
