Britain’s Got Talent is back for its 19th season on ITV, and this year promises a fantastic variety of acts, from talented dogs to incredible acrobats.
ITV says this new season of the show will be more ambitious, surprising, and unusual than before, with a fresh group of contestants aiming to follow in the footsteps of current winner Harry Moulding.
Britain’s Got Talent has a new judge this year, bringing a fresh perspective and attracting a new audience to the show.
So, when does Britain’s Got Talent 2026 kick start? Read on for more.
When does Britain’s Got Talent 2026 start?
Britain’s Got Talent will make a return to TV screens on Saturday 21st February on ITV1 and ITVX.
Who are the Britain’s Got Talent 2026 judges?

There’s been a change to the judging panel this year. Bruno Tonioli is leaving due to conflicts with his schedule.
Tonioli will be replaced by KSI, who previously filled in as a temporary replacement in 2025.
As a long-time viewer, it was a bit of a shock to hear that Bruno Tonioli is leaving Britain’s Got Talent! He explained that after three amazing seasons, he’s decided to step down as a judge. He said the show really opened his eyes to a huge amount of talent, and it sounds like it was a tough decision, but he felt it was time to move on.
I’m excited to start filming a new season of Dancing with the Stars in the US, but I’ll definitely miss the fun and energy of Britain’s Got Talent, and especially all the amazing people I’ve been lucky enough to work with.
The 2026 judges are comprised of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and KSI.
Britain’s Got Talent 2026 hosts

Fan favorites Ant & Dec will once again host Britain’s Got Talent in 2026, cheering on the contestants and potentially giving out a Golden Buzzer or two.
Who won Britain’s Got Talent 2025?
I was absolutely thrilled when Harry Moulding won Britain’s Got Talent 2025! It was so well-deserved, and I can’t wait to see him perform at the Royal Variety Performance. Plus, £250,000 is going to change his life – it’s amazing!
Moulding advanced directly to the final after receiving the golden buzzer from KSI during the live show.
