BRIT Awards 2027: Date, Venue, Performers and How to Watch

The BRIT Awards 2027 are heading back to Manchester, and the countdown has already started. Organisers locked in the date back in June, but plenty of the big details are still under wraps. Here’s everything we know about the BRIT Awards 2027 date so far, what’s still to come, and where you can watch it. Where something hasn’t been announced, you’ll see a bold note in square brackets, so you can spot the gaps at a glance.

BRIT Awards 2027 Date

The BRIT Awards 2027 take place on Saturday 27 February 2027. That’s a weekend prime-time slot, matching the setup of last year’s ceremony on 28 February 2026.

This year’s date carries extra weight. The show marks 50 years since the first BRIT Awards was televised in 1977, so expect some looking back as well as looking ahead.

[TO BE CONFIRMED: Broadcast start time. ITV hasn’t published it yet. Check ITV listings and brits.co.uk closer to the date.]

BRIT Awards 2027 Venue

The ceremony returns to Co-op Live in Manchester for a second year running. In 2026, the BRITs left London for the first time in the ceremony’s history, and the two-year Manchester deal covers 2027 as well.

The arena sits on the Etihad Campus, 1 Sportcity Way, Manchester, M11 3DL. With a capacity of around 23,500, it’s the largest indoor arena in Europe. That’s a lot of room for a night built on big entrances and bigger singalongs.

Getting to Co-op Live

You can reach the arena by tram, taxi or car. Event nights get busy, so check Transport for Greater Manchester for the latest routes and any planned changes before you travel.

BRIT Awards 2027 Host

No host has been announced for 2027. Jack Whitehall fronted the 2026 show, his sixth turn in the job, so there’s a fair chance the committee has someone in mind already. We just don’t know who.

BRIT Awards 2027 Performers

Nobody has been confirmed to perform yet. The BRITs tend to drip-feed their line-up, and last year’s pattern shows how late some names arrive. EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, the first K-pop performers in BRITs history, were announced on 13 February. Alex Warren followed on 16 February, less than two weeks before the show.

The 2026 stage also featured Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, RAYE, Wolf Alice, Mark Ronson, Sombr and Rosalía, who brought out Björk as a surprise guest. That’s a tough act to follow.

How to Watch the BRIT Awards 2027

The BRIT Awards 2027 will air live on ITV1 and ITVX. Viewers in Scotland can also watch on STV and the STV Player.

ITVX is free to stream with an account, so you don’t need a TV to catch it. If you can’t watch live, catch-up will normally be available on the player afterwards.

[TO BE CONFIRMED: International broadcasters and streaming options outside the UK. None announced.]

Nominations and Critics’ Choice

Last year’s schedule gives us a rough guide. The Critics’ Choice shortlist came out on 3 December 2025, the winner was named in January, and the full nominations arrived in the third week of January.

[TO BE CONFIRMED: BRIT Awards 2027 nominations date. No official date published. If the 2026 schedule repeats, expect Critics’ Choice news in December 2026 and nominations in January 2027.]

Final Thoughts

The BRIT Awards 2027 already have a date, a venue, a broadcaster and a landmark anniversary. What they don’t have, publicly at least, is a host or a single confirmed performer. That should change over the coming months, and stay tuned for updates from MarkMeets. Last year’s rollout suggests the biggest names may be saved for the final stretch.
