The festival will include the formal launch of a film market, separately from the public event, building on the introduction of the Industry Selects program at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival.[2] The market will take place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, while the main public festival will continue to take place at the TIFF Lightbox and the Scotiabank Theatre Toronto.
The festival will also host the 2026 edition of the Student Academy Awards,[3] and non-English language winners of the festival's Platform Prize will now be automatically eligible for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.[4]
The festival's first programming announcements are expected in June 2026, with the full schedule release slated for August 11.
Market
The market will include a dedicated program for genre films, produced in collaboration with the Fantasia International Film Festival's Frontières market.[5]
