SAG-AFTRA has officially revealed the dates for the next two acting awards ceremonies, with the 33rd annual show set to stream live on Netflix on Sunday, February 28, 2027.
The announcement, which came just moments after the Academy revealed its own schedule for the 99th and 100th Academy Awards, confirms that the guild’s signature event will begin at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).
In a move that gives the industry plenty of time to prepare, the organization has also fixed the date for the 34th annual Actors’ Awards, which is slated to take place on Sunday, February 20, 2028.
These dates mark the fourth and fifth years of the ongoing partnership between SAG-AFTRA and Netflix, ensuring the ceremony remains accessible to a global audience.
Formerly known as the SAG Awards, the rebranded Actor Awards remain an important bellwether for the Academy Awards.
This was proven again this year when all four individual winners, Michael B. Jordan, Jessie Buckley, Sean Penn and Amy Madigan, repeated their success at the Academy Awards.
With the 2027 ceremony falling exactly two weeks before the 99th Academy Awards on March 14, the results are expected to be as influential as ever.
The Actor Awards hold a unique place in the Hollywood calendar as the only televised ceremony dedicated solely to performers in both film and television.
The voting process is particularly important because the winners are selected by the guild’s own members, a diverse community of more than 160,000 artists.
This makes it the largest voting body in the entire awards landscape, often providing a much more accurate reflection of industry sentiment than smaller selections.
The show covers 15 different categories celebrating everything from individual leads to the much-admired collective awards.
While fans are still buzzing about the recent ceremony hosted by Kristen Bell, which saw Harrison Ford win the Lifetime Achievement Award, the focus now shifts to the 2026-2027 season.
While the specific deadlines for submissions have yet to be confirmed, SAG-AFTRA has promised that more key dates will be released in the coming weeks.
For now, save-the-dates are firmly in the diary, setting the scene for another two years of celebrating the best in the craft of trading on a worldwide platform.
