The BRIT Awards is the British Phonographic Industry's annual celebration of UK and international music. The show recognises album, single, group, solo, and genre achievements alongside live performances from headline nominees. The BRITs typically anchor the late-winter UK music calendar, with nominations announced about a month ahead of the broadcast.
The 2026 edition is the 46th BRITs and continues at The O2 Arena in Greenwich, London, where the awards have been held since 2011. ITV broadcasts the show live in the UK with a worldwide stream on ITVX in supported regions.
ITV1 carries the show live in the UK from roughly 20:00 GMT, with simulcast on ITVX. Internationally, the YouTube live show is available through the official BRITs channel in supported regions. That converts to 21:00 CET, 01:30 IST (Monday), 05:00 JST (Monday), and 15:00 ET in the US.
