    Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

They received seven Grammy Awards from 39 nominations, the most for a British group after the Beatles.[4] Recognitions span the alternative, rock and pop categories. In the Big Four, Coldplay picked up Record of the Year for "Clocks" in 2004; Song of the Year for "Viva la Vida" in 2009; and were considered for Album of the Year on three occasions. Further accolades include nine Billboard Music Awards, eight MTV Video Music Awards and two American Music Awards. The band took home nine Webby Awards as well, factoring honorary certificates. Two of their seven Clio Awards met the criteria for Gold level. Since 2006, they collected three Juno Awards for International Album of the Year, a record among foreign acts.[5]

Coldplay also garnered eight MTV Europe Music Awards, while their 31 nominations are unprecedented for a band.[6] Elsewhere in the region, they have been praised as the recipients of six NRJ Music Awards, four Echo Music Prizes, three Los 40 Music Awards and two Premios Ondas. A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002) is a Foreign Modern Rock Album of the Year winner at the Hungarian Music Awards. X&Y (2005) picked up Edison and Fryderyk honours in equivalent categories. Ghost Stories (2014) marked the first of three cumulative victories at the Swiss Music Awards. Their 18 Gaffa Awards and 29 Žebřík Music Awards include laurels Martin secured on his own. Additionally, works related to the group account for three Cannes Lions.

Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008) earned two Japan Gold Disc Awards, which were complemented by a third distinction for "My Universe" (2021). Coldplay have landed Circle Chart, Melon Music and MAMA Award nominations as well, taking home the former two. In 2025, "Feelslikeimfallinginlove" notched their first Best International Rock Song prize at the Music Awards Japan. It also became the second track from the band to claim Western Song of the Year at the Hito Music Awards. Lunas del Auditorio and Premios Oye! voters recognised them with three accolades each, while the Musa Awards committee granted two wins. Coldplay ventured into the film industry at times, rising to Critics' Choice and Golden Globe nominee status. "Atlas" (2013) and "Miracles" (2014) were both shortlisted for the Academy Awards.[7] Several organisations provided the group cultural honours, including but not limited to an Earth Day Ambassador Award, the Key to the City of El Paso and Champion's honorary degree as Doctor of Music at the University of Southampton.
