Snoop Dogg will host the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, marking his return to the ceremony after decades of performances and nominations. The show will take place at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater on Sept. 27 and will air on CBS and MTV, with streaming on Paramount+; it will be the VMAs’ first West Coast broadcast since 2017. Snoop, a 13-time nominee and three-time winner, said hosting the ceremony represents a full-circle moment and highlighted his reunion with producer Van Toffler. Nirvana will receive the Video Vanguard Award, while performers, presenters and additional guests will be announced later.
