At a Glance: How to Watch the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards
The awards ceremony airs on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK, and will air on E! in the U.S. for the first time. Previously, the BAFTA Awards were streaming in the U.S. on BritBox. This marks growth for E!’s awards show presence, which is also the home of the Critics Choice Awards.
The BAFTAs are seen as a bellwether for the Oscars because of the large overlap in the awards’ voting bodies. The BAFTAs also have a separate awards show for TV.
