Manchester, cutie patootie comedian Jack Whitehall is coming.
Jack Whitehall shall host the 2026 BRIT Awards.
But first, take a stroll with Jack as he makes his way through the bright lights and cityscapes of Manchester… well, sort of.
Jack will host next year’s ceremony on Saturday, February 28th at the brand-new Co-op Live Arena, broadcast exclusively on ITV1 and ITVX.
Whitehall previously hosted the BRITs from 2018–2021, known for cheeky banter and sharp timing. His return marks the first time the awards will be staged at Co-op Live, the UK’s largest indoor arena, which opened in 2024.
Jack’s back! From cheeky one-liners to Manchester’s biggest stage, Whitehall’s return is set. Drop your thoughts below—will you be tuning in?
