As previously announced, big changes are coming to the Oscars. In 2029, the show will move from ABC (its network home since 1976) to YouTube and from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood (its home base for every show but one since 2002) to the Peacock Theater in the L.A. Live complex.

But, until then, the show will stay the course. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and ABC announced on Tuesday (April 7) that the 99th Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 14, 2027, and that the 100th Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 5, 2028. This is similar to recent years. This year’s show aired on Sunday, March 15. The 2025 show aired on Sunday, March 2. The upcoming shows will air live at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.
The Oscars didn’t announce who will host the 2027 show, but no one would be surprised if they turned again to Conan O’Brien, who was widely praised for his work hosting the last two shows. If O’Brien does get the nod, he would become the first person to host the Oscars three years running since Billy Crystal hosted four straight Oscar telecasts from 1990-93.
The Academy also announced key dates for the 2027 Oscars season, though they cautioned that these dates are subject to change.
