Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 08:55 · Archive

The Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner at 10am UK time.

The winner of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced this morning by Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, at 10am UK time (11am CEST).

Several candidates have been widely discussed ahead of the announcement. Mykola Kuleba and Save Ukraine, which work on rescuing Ukrainian children abducted by Russia during the war, have long been among the favourites. Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms has also been mentioned prominently. In recent hours, Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of late Alexei Navalny, has risen to the top of some prediction websites.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee does not announce nominations publicly, and under Nobel statutes the judges are banned from discussing their deliberations for 50 years. DW News notes that no one is allowed to nominate themselves. However, Donald Trump said this week that he deserves to win the prize.
