The Logies are returning in 2026 with a brand new host and all new nominees for the illustrious awards.
However, there are plenty of familiar (and major) faces in the running for the Gold Logie including the ceremonies new host Robert Irwin – who was also nominated in 2024.
The race for the Gold Logie isn’t vastly different to last year’s competition! Robert is competing once more against his former I’m A Celebrity co-host Julia Morris, alongside journalist Ally Langdon, presenter Lisa Millar, and judge Poh Ling Yeow who were in the running in 2025. However, there are two newcomers to the list: comedian Sam Pang and Tipping Point host Todd Woodbridge.
Have You Been Paying Attention? presenter, Sam is no newbie when it comes to the Logies stage, having hosted the award ceremony three times.
What is new, however, is the Bruce AcAvaney Award for Most Popular Sports Presenter, honouring the sports commentators career spanning over five decades. The 72-year-old also received the Hall of Fame Logie Award in 2022.
The 66th Logies will be on Sunday August 16 at The Star Sydney. Voting for all awards are officially open, with the Best Awards remaining so until 7pm on August 15, and the Gold Logie award will close 10pm August 16. Meanwhile, voting for the Bert Netwon Award, Graham Kennedy Award, Ray Martin Award, and Bruce McAvaney award will close 7:30pm August 16.
Now, without further ado, all the nominees for the TV Week Logie Awards 2026.
