The Olivier Awards has revealed eligibility for the 2026 Awards. The 50th anniversary Olivier Awards will take place at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 12 April, 2026 with highlights to be broadcast on BBC TV and radio.
Audiences can expect a celebration of the very best that London theatre has to offer, featuring award presentations and special performances from the stars of the stage. The ceremony will also highlight UK theatre’s role in nurturing creative talent, reconnecting with memorable award winners and nominees from across the decades, and the venues that shaped them.
Productions that opened between 15 February 2025 and 17 February 2026 in a theatre represented by a SOLT member, and met the minimum performance requirement for its category, were eligible for consideration for the Olivier Awards 2026.
