Kids Choice Awards 2026 Winners List: Every Category (Pre-Ceremony Hub)

Kids Choice Awards 2026 winners list — every major Nickelodeon fan-vote category in one scrollable hub before the 39th ceremony crowns honorees Saturday, November 14, 2026, in Los Angeles on Nickelodeon and, for the first time, the CBS Television Network (8:00–9:30 p.m. ET/PT). As of June 12, 2026, no winners have been announced: Nickelodeon typically reveals nominees in fall 2026, kid voting opens afterward, and orange blimp trophies are handed out live on telecast night. This page lists each marquee category with Winner: TBD — ceremony Nov. 14, 2026 until official results post, plus predicted frontrunners clearly labeled as expert projections from Deadline, Billboard, and Nickelodeon reporting — not confirmed results.

Kids Choice Awards 2026 Winners List: Ceremony, Venue, and How to Watch

The 39th Annual Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards return late in the calendar year — Saturday, November 14, 2026 — marking the first KCA held in November since 1992, per Nickelodeon and Wikipedia ceremony logs. The special simulcasts live from Los Angeles on Nickelodeon and, for the first time in the show’s nearly 40-year history, on the CBS Television Network between 8:00 and 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. Done and Dusted produces the telecast. The 38th edition aired June 21, 2025, from Barker Hangar in Santa Monica with Tyla hosting; the 2026 move to a fall CBS simulcast signals a franchise reset after years of spring and summer dates.

Host: TBD as of June 2026 — Nickelodeon announced the November 14 date in April 2026 and said the host and nomination slate would follow “in the near future.” We will update this Kids Choice Awards 2026 winners list hub when Nickelodeon confirms an emcee.

How to watch: Linear Nickelodeon and CBS in all U.S. time zones; Paramount+ historically streams KCA for subscribers; Nickelodeon’s international networks carry the show live or tape-delayed. Fan voting at vote.kca.nick.com historically decides most categories once nominations drop — a detail that can reorder any race on the Kids Choice Awards 2026 winners list.

Key dates before winners lock:

• Nominees announced: Fall 2026 (Nickelodeon typically opens voting after the slate reveal)
• Fan voting window: Opens after nominations; closes before telecast
• 2026 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards: Saturday, November 14, 2026 — when this Kids Choice Awards 2026 winners list goes from TBD to verified

How to Read This Kids Choice Awards 2026 Winners List (Pre-Ceremony)

Every category below follows the same honest format until November 14:

• Winner: TBD — ceremony Nov. 14, 2026
• Predicted frontrunners (PREDICTIONS — not results): trade-consensus projections extrapolated from 2025 momentum, chart performance through spring 2026, and historical KCA voter patterns — sourced from Deadline, Billboard, and Nickelodeon through early June 2026

Kid voters, late-fall single drops, and surprise performer announcements routinely produce KCA upsets — which is why we never present predictions as winners on the Kids Choice Awards 2026 winners list until blimps are handed out.

2025 Reference: Last Verified Kids Choice Awards Winners

Until the Kids Choice Awards 2026 winners list is final, the most recent verified results come from the 38th Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards on June 21, 2025, hosted by Tyla at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Top tallies: Sabrina Carpenter (three music wins), The Thundermans: Undercover and XO, Kitty (TV), Wicked (Favorite Movie), and 5,000 gallons of green slime deployed on telecast night per THR reporting. Use those results as momentum context — not as 2026 winners.

When Will the Kids Choice Awards 2026 Winners List Update?

USA Celebs updates this page in three waves:

1. Fall 2026 — Nominee names replace prediction-only context (winners still TBD)
2. Fan voting window — We note voting deadlines as Nickelodeon publishes them; kid favorites can differ from critic projections
3. November 14, 2026, live telecast — Orange blimps handed out; verified honorees replace every TBD line on the Kids Choice Awards 2026 winners list within hours

We source final results from Nickelodeon, CBS, Deadline, Billboard, and THR — never social-media rumor. Until then, treat every name outside an official fall nomination announcement or November 14 telecast reveal as a projection.
