The 14th Canadian Screen Awards were presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television on May 31, 2026, to honour achievements in Canadian film, television and digital media production in 2025. The ceremony was hosted by Andrew Phung, and took place at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto.

The academy announced a new multi-broadcaster partnership, which saw the ceremony broadcast live in simulcast by CBC Television, CTV, and Global (including CTV/Global partner station NTV in Newfoundland and Labrador), as well as being streamed on CBC Gem, Crave and StackTV.

Nominations for the awards were announced March 25. The film 40 Acres topped the field in film categories, with ten nominations, while North of North led the television categories with 20 nominations. Heated Rivalry won 16 awards, including Best Dramatic Series, while Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie won Best Motion Picture.

Ceremony information

Andrew Phung, main ceremony host

Mike Myers, Academy Icon Award honouree

Jay McCarrol, Best Lead Performance in a Comedy Film and Best Original Song winner

Grace Glowicki, Best Lead Performance in a Drama Film winner

Jacob Tierney, Best Drama Series winner

Hudson Williams, Best Lead Performance in a Drama Series winner

In January 2026, the Academy announced that in addition to broadcasting on CBC Television and streaming on CBC Gem, the ceremony would also be simulcast by CTV, Global, and their streaming services Crave and StackTV. CEO Tammy Frick explained that increased awareness in Canadian sovereignty had built interest in a multi-network simulcast, and that Bell and Corus accepted offers from the Academy to simulcast the ceremony on their networks and services alongside CBC's continued support.

From May 28 to 30, multiple ceremonies were held to distribute awards in many categories outside the main ceremony. The Children's Television Awards were hosted by Devo Brown, the Cinematic Arts Awards were hosted by Anne-Marie Withenshaw, the Broadcast News & Sports Awards were hosted by Heather Butts and Jennifer Hsiung, the Scripted Television Awards were hosted by Ennis Esmer and Jackie Pirico, and Jess Allen hosted the Unscripted Television Awards.

Category changes

The Academy announced a number of category changes in September 2025. Most notably, eligibility in acting categories became restricted to Canadian actors, following industry feedback after three of the four film acting awards at the 13th Canadian Screen Awards were won by international actors rather than Canadian performers. Four new "Spotlight" categories were also introduced, one each for actors, directors, writers and producers, to honour Canadian talent for their work on international television shows that were filmed partially or entirely in Canada, but were not Canadian productions in order to be eligible for consideration in regular categories.

The categories for Best Host for a Live Entertainment Special, Best Variety or Entertainment Special, Best Performance in a Variety or Sketch Comedy Program or Series, Best Picture Editing in Animation and Best Host of a Talk Show or Entertainment News Program were discontinued, and a new category was introduced in the Digital Media categories for Creator of the Year, to honour Canadian content creators who have had an impact on social media platforms.
