Jacob Elordi, Robert Irwin, Lisa Millar and more snag 2026 Logie nominations

The nominees for the 66th annual TV Week Logies have been announced, with a new award category revealed.

The Bruce McAvaney Award for Most Popular Sports Presenter, named for the host and commentator, will reward an Australian journalistic talent in sports reporting.

Former ABC News Breakfast presenter and current Muster Dogs host Lisa Millar will battle it out for the coveted Gold Logie, facing competition from back-to-back nominees Julia Morris and Poh Ling Yeow, as well as the 2026 Logie awards host, Robert Irwin.

The ABC has 41 nominations, including three each for comedy Dog Park and drama The Family Next Door, as well as Most Popular New Talent nods for Goolagong stars Lila McGuire and Eloise Hart.

Amazon's Prime Video was the most-nominated streamer on the back of Jacob Elordi war drama The Narrow Road to the Deep North and the second season of comedy Deadloch.

When are the 2026 Logie Awards?

The 2026 Logie Awards will take place on the evening of Sunday, August 16 at The Star in Sydney.

Who is hosting the 2026 Logies?

Media personality and wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin will host this year's Logie Awards.

"Throughout my life, my goal has been to spread an important message not only through our work at Australia Zoo, but also on the screen," the 22-year-old says.

"I grew up watching the Logies with my family, so this is certainly an honour."
