The 41st Goya Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain, will place at the Navarra Arena in Pamplona, Navarre, on 6 February 2027.
Background In June 2026, the Academy approved the regulations for the 2027 awards. A key feature was the modification of the eligibility criteria for the Goya Award for Best New Actor and the Goya Award for Best New Actress, ruling that candidates must not have appeared in more than four feature films released in theaters previously, nor may they have been working professionally in film acting for more than 10 years. The maximum number of submissions per country in the Best European Film category was reduced to one. Further restrictions were introduced vis-à-vis the use of artificial intelligence, including the requirement of an affidavit on the use of generative AI at any development stage of the candidate films. In September 2026, Academy president Fernando Méndez-Leite announced Pamplona as the host city together with the Navarrese regional president María Chivite.
On 7 October 2026, the Spanish Film Academy presented the 19 submissions (up from 15 in 2026) for the Goya Award for Best Ibero-American Film:
Bajo el mismo sol (Dominican Republic), Chichero (Panama), (Guatemala), El pez que fuma (Venezuela), Esta isla (Puerto Rico), The Red Hangar (Chile), The Ivy (Ecuador), The Condor Daughter (Bolivia), The Virgin of the Quarry Lake (Argentina), Rains Over Babel (Colombia), (El Salvador), Maria Vitória (Portugal), Flies (Mexico), Narciso (Paraguay), Neurótica anónima (Cuba), Forever Your Maternal Animal (Costa Rica), A Loose End (Uruguay), On Behalf of My Son (Brazil), Night Has Come (Peru).
The nominations will be read on 15 December 2026.
