The winners of The BRIT Awards 2026 were announced live tonight (Saturday 28th February), debuting at its new Manchester home, the Co-op Live, and broadcasted exclusively on ITV and ITVX. Award-winning comedian and writer Jack Whitehall hosted the show, and the winners of each category each took home the iconic BRITs trophy, this year conceptualised and designed by internationally acclaimed and Manchester-born designer Matthew Williamson, inspired by his roots to the city.
The night saw Olivia Dean take home the most awards out of any artist or group on the night, winning four awards in total – Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Pop Act, in addition to Song of the Year with Sam Fender for Rein Me In. When it came to award winners from Manchester, Noel Gallagher represented the city by winning the Songwriter of the Year award.
Rosalía also made history as the first artist who performs in a foreign language to win the International Artist of the Year award. The singer performs in multiple languages such as Spanish, Arabic, Catalan, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Mandarin, Portuguese, Sicilian and Ukrainian.
