BAFTA Games Awards 2027: London Ceremony, Nominations and Voting
NEW FORMAT | GAMING & ESPORTS EVENTS 2027
14 April 2027 | London, United Kingdom
New Format previews the upcoming event, its significance and the stories to follow. Details are accurate to the latest official announcements available on 6 November 2026.
A major night for game creativity
BAFTA has confirmed that the 2027 BAFTA Games Awards ceremony will take place in London on Wednesday 14 April. The awards recognise creative and technical achievements across the games industry.
Key dates to remember
BAFTA plans to announce the longlist on 8 December 2026 and nominations on 11 March 2027. Until those announcements, any prediction of nominees or winners is editorial speculation.
How BAFTA differs
BAFTA describes an awards process involving an expert membership of games professionals and industry juries. This perspective differs from purely public-voted competitions and makes the awards especially interesting for discussions of craft.
More than Game of the Year
Performance, storytelling, sound, artistic achievement and technical disciplines help show how many specialists contribute to a finished game. For film and media students, the ceremony is a useful bridge between screen production and interactive entertainment.
Coverage plans
New Format will track official nomination announcements, the final ceremony and post-event analysis. Media accreditation and red-carpet access must be confirmed with BAFTA rather than assumed.
