BAFTA TV Awards 2026 winners: Full list of winners as Adolescence makes history

The biggest night in UK TV has arrived, with the winners of the BAFTA TV Awards 2026 finally unveiled at a ceremony hosted in London by Taskmaster favourite Greg Davies on Sunday, 10 May 2026.

Going into the ceremony, which featured performances by Cat Burns and AURORA, the most-nominated shows included Adolescence, Amandaland, The Celebrity Traitors and A Thousand Blows, all vying to win big on the night.

It was a clean Adolescence sweep, with Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper and Christine Tremarco taking home acting gongs and the series winning for Limited Drama. This is a record-breaker for the BAFTA Television Awards.

Elsewhere, Amandaland won Scripted Comedy, while EastEnders has taken home the Soap award, beating Casualty and Coronation Street.

The memorable moment award was the only one open to a public vote, with The Celebrity Traitors reigning supreme.

Finally, Dame Mary Berry DBE received the esteemed BAFTA Fellowship, and Martin Lewis CBE received the BAFTA Special Award for his services to broadcasting.
