TV WEEK Logie Awards 2026 Nominees Revealed As Gold Logie Race Begins – The nominees for the 66th TV WEEK Logie Awards have been unveiled, with seven of Australian television’s biggest stars vying for the coveted TV WEEK Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television.
Host and journalist Ally Langdon, presenter and comedian Julia Morris, journalist and presenter Lisa Millar, judge and co-host Poh Ling Yeow, presenter Robert Irwin, comedian and presenter Sam Pang, and host and presenter Todd Woodbridge are all in contention for Australian television’s top honour.
The winners will be announced during the 66th TV WEEK Logie Awards ceremony, which will be held at The Star Sydney and broadcast live and exclusively on Seven and 7plus on Sunday, 16 August.
This year’s awards also introduce the Bruce McAvaney Award for Most Popular Sports Presenter, named in honour of one of Australia’s most respected sports broadcasters. Bruce McAvaney OAM has covered some of the world’s biggest sporting events over more than five decades and will personally present the inaugural award bearing his name on the night.
“This year’s nominations are a genuine celebration of how extraordinary Australian television has become. From free-to-air favourites to the streaming shows everyone has been talking about, the breadth and quality of original Australian storytelling on our screens right now is something to be proud of. These are your awards, so if a show or a star has moved you, made you laugh or kept you up past your bedtime, make your voice heard and vote!”
Amber Giles, TV WEEK Editorial Director
“Sydney and NSW are the beating heart of Australian screen production, providing the backdrop to so many of the shows we love to watch. It’s only fitting that we get to host the TV WEEK Logie Awards, and I can’t wait to see the red carpet rolled out for the industry’s biggest night.”
Steve Kamper, NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism
Voting for all awards is now open, with viewers able to vote for their favourite stars and programs at the official TV WEEK Logie Awards website. The TV WEEK Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television will remain open until 10.00pm AEST on Sunday, 16 August, giving Australians the opportunity to help decide the night’s biggest winner live during the ceremony.
