The Seven Network has extended its agreement with Disney Entertainment to broadcast the Oscars for three years in Australia, covering the 2026, 2027 and 2028 award ceremonies.
The agreement will see the Oscars broadcast live and exclusively on Seven and 7plus, with a special encore screening at night.
This year, Seven is also the home of the 97th Oscars, which will be held on Sunday March 2 2025, at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live in more than 200 territories worldwide.
In Australia, Seven’s coverage begins at 5.30am on Monday March 3 with Sunrise and The Morning Show leading into The Oscars Red Carpet Show at 10.30am AEDT followed by the 97th Oscars ceremony at 11.00am AEDT on Seven and both streaming live nationally on 7plus.
Seven West Media Group MD of TV, Angus Ross, said the Oscars are the pre-eminent film awards in the world.
"We are honoured to be the Australian broadcasting partner and delighted to extend our agreement," he said.
“We’re particularly excited to be the local partner for the celebration of the 100th Oscars in 2028, which will be an amazing event.”
Live television event producer Raj Kapoor returns as executive producer and showrunner, Katy Mullan as executive producer, and Hamish Hamilton as director of the 97th Oscars.
