The 2026 Sundance Film Festival details have been announced.

The 2026 Sundance Film Festival will take place in person January 22–February 1 in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah. Premieres will be held Thursday, January 22, to Tuesday, January 27, where audiences will see films, episodic projects, and more for the first time, with additional showings throughout the entire Festival. Starting on Wednesday, January 28, we’ll be kicking off our joyful appreciation of 40-plus years of seminal independent cinema that premiered in Park City through special screenings and legacy talks and events.

For those looking to participate in the discovery from across the country, we will be offering at-home screenings available online from Thursday, January 29, to Sunday, February 1, which will feature films in our five competition sections, including NEXT. Films from other sections in our lineup can also select to participate in the online Festival program for limited audiences. Press and industry will have online access to the at-home program for the professional community beginning one day earlier on Wednesday, January 28.

Additionally, an event honoring Robert Redford’s vision will be celebrated through the Sundance Film Festival Celebration, an exceptional evening being held on Friday, January 23, at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley. The annual event enables the nonprofit to raise funds to support independent artists year-round through labs, grants, and public programming that cultivate artists from all over the world.

The full program will include feature films, episodic projects, and short films — welcoming 90-plus features and 50-plus shorts in 2026 — as well as our annual Beyond Film series, which showcases talks and events with some of the most compelling artists and many more. Details will be announced at a further date.

With the move Boulder, Colorado, starting in 2027, the 2026 Festival will also honor Park City. This will include a program of archival screenings, restorations, and special events. Screenings will occur at Eccles Theatre, Holiday Village Cinemas, Library Center Theatre, The Ray Theatre, and Redstone Cinemas, as well as returning this year to The Yarrow Theatre (located at DoubleTree by Hilton Park City – The Yarrow).

In Salt Lake City, they will take place at Salt Lake Film Society’s Broadway Centre Cinemas and Rose Wagner Performing Arts Centre.

The Filmmaker Lodge on Main Street in Park City will host Beyond Film programming, with additional conversations happening at The Box at The Ray and The Park serving as a private events venue.

The Headquarters and Artist, Industry, and Press Hub will be located at the Sheraton Park City (1895 Sidewinder Dr., Park City, Utah, 84060).

Additionally, the 2026 Sundance Film Festival jury and audience awards will be presented on Friday, January 30, at a ceremony at The Ray Theatre in Park City.
