Singer P!NK Will Host the 2026 Tony Awards.

“It is the honor of an entire lifetime to host a night celebrating the literal hardest working people in showbiz,” said P!NK in a statement. “Broadway has shaped my life and how I put my own shows together. It is a community that is supportive, and inclusive, and full of talent and love. These people give magic every single day, and I cannot wait to celebrate them with the entire world.”

She continued, “When I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, ‘I have to get permission from my daughter.’  I’ve never been on Broadway, and shouldn’t you have to have been on Broadway in order to host? That seems fair and right. But when I asked my daughter, she was really excited about being able to have a ticket to go to the Tonys, so I’m hosting the Tonys and I’m really, really, excited and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!”

The 2026 Tony Awards will take place on Sunday, June 7 at Radio City Music Hall.

This year, the eligibility cut-off date is Sunday, April 26, 2026 for Broadway productions. Nominations will be announced on Tuesday, May 5.

The Tony Awards are produced in collaboration with Tony Award Productions, a joint venture of the American Theatre Wing and the Broadway League.

The 79th Annual Tony Awards will once again broadcast live coast-to-coast on CBS beginning at 8pm ET/5pm PT, and will stream on Paramount+.
