The Olivier Awards, with Cunard, has announced nominations plans.

The nominees will be revealed via the Official London Theatre YouTube Channel at 12pm on 5 March, presented by “Olivier Award-winning productions” – though the productions in question have not been disclosed.

The venerated London theatre awards has confirmed that productions that ran from “15 February 2025 and 17 February 2026 in a theatre represented by a Society Of London Theatre member, and met the minimum performance requirement for its category”, were eligible for this year’s prizes.

Once again, the event will take place at the Royal Albert Hall, with a date set for 12 April 2026. It marks its 50th anniversary.

A highlights package will be presented on the BBC, via TV and radio, later that evening.
