SAG-AFTRA has officially revealed the dates for the actor’s two upcoming awards ceremonies, and the 33rd annual show will air live on Netflix on Sunday, February 28, 2027.
The announcement, which came moments after the Academy revealed its own schedule for the 99th and 100th Oscars, confirms that the guild’s flagship event will begin at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).
In a move that gives the industry plenty of time to prepare, the organization also set the date for the 34th annual Actor Awards, which is scheduled for Sunday, February 20, 2028.
These dates mark the fourth and fifth years of the ongoing partnership between SAG-AFTRA and Netflix, ensuring the ceremony remains accessible to a global audience.
Formerly known as the SAG Awards, the renowned Actor Awards continue to be a vital bellwether for the Academy Awards.
This was demonstrated once again this year when the four individual winners, Michael B. Jordan, Jessie Buckley, Sean Penn and Amy Madigan, repeated their success at the Oscars.
With the 2027 ceremony taking place exactly two weeks before the 99th Oscars on March 14, the results are expected to be as influential as ever.
The Actors Awards hold a unique place on the Hollywood calendar as the only televised ceremony dedicated exclusively to artists from both film and television.
The voting process is particularly significant because the winners are chosen by the guild members themselves, a diverse community of more than 160,000 artists.
This makes it the largest voting body across the awards landscape, and often provides a much more accurate reflection of industry sentiment than smaller committees.
The show covers 15 different categories, celebrating everything from individual leading roles to much-admired collective awards.
While fans are still talking about the most recent ceremony hosted by Kristen Bell, where Harrison Ford received the Lifetime Achievement Award, attention now turns to the 2026-2027 season.
Although specific deadline dates for submissions have yet to be confirmed, SAG-AFTRA has promised that more key dates will be released in the coming weeks.
For now, the “save dates” are firmly on the agenda, setting the stage for another two years of celebrating the best in the art of performing on a global platform.
