Official Announcement: The Canadian Game Awards Return In 2026
The Canadian Game Awards recently announced that the big night is returning on February 21, 2026, at the TIFF Lightbox in Toronto. If you’re into games at all, you know this is a huge deal for everyone who loves seeing Canadian talent get the spotlight it deserves.
The Canadian Game Awards aims to bring everyone together—developers, artists, storytellers, and fans—to celebrate what makes our gaming scene unique. While the night is definitely about crowning epic games and handing out trophies (though, let’s be real, those are cool); it’s about honouring the heart and craft that goes into making these fantastic Canadian games.
Canada’s gaming industry is just bursting with creativity, from the indie studios making weird and wonderful stuff to the big names putting out blockbuster hits. These awards are like a giant group hug for everyone who pours their souls into their work. This year having the ceremony at TIFF Lightbox was definitely an upgrade. It's such a perfect venue—especially with hits history of highlighting Canadian entertainment.
So mark your calendar and get ready for a night of celebration, surprises, and probably a few happy tears. The Canadian Game Awards are back, and I can’t wait to see which games and creators steal the show this year. See you there!
