Oscars Keep 2026 Date as L.A. Marathon Agrees to Reschedule to Avoid Conflict

It’s quite a predicament that in 2026, both the Los Angeles Marathon and the Oscars are set to occur on the same day, specifically March 15th, as their usual routes often coincide with Hollywood Blvd., where the Oscars red carpet is typically rolled out by the Dolby Theater.

It’s good news for everyone involved as the organizers of the Los Angeles Marathon, the McCourt Foundation, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars) have come to terms on an agreement, preventing any potential clash.

LA Mayor Karen Bass made the announcement about the agreement on Friday, but insiders at The Hollywood Reporter claim it was mostly settled through private discussions between the involved parties. The final decision: the Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 15th as planned, while the Los Angeles Marathon will be rescheduled to another date in March 2026, which will be revealed soon.

From now on, the L.A. Marathon will consistently be scheduled for the third Sunday in March, while the Oscars will occur on a new date, deviating from their past inconsistencies.

Supporters of the Los Angeles Marathon and the Oscars have consented to form an alliance for mutual event promotion. However, specifics about this collaboration are yet to be disclosed.
