AVN 2026 Hosting News

VN Media Network just announced that Brazzers exclusive contract star Abigaiil Morris and October 2023’s AVN CAMStar, ItsLo will be co-hosting the 2026 AVN Awards Show. The 43rd annual Grand Daddy adult gathering will take place on January 24th, 2026, returning to Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Awards will be given out in over 140 categories, spanning the full breadth of porn production.

The AVN red-carpet gala serves as the grand finale to the adult entertainment industry's packed week of events in Las Vegas. Prior to the main ceremony, attendees can participate in several related events including the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE), the Adult Novelty Expo (ANE) featuring adult products and accessories, as well as the GayVN Awards Show and "O" Awards ceremonies.

If Las Vegas wasn’t naughty enough, when AVN swoops into town, Vegas truly earns its title as Sin City.

Regarding those GayVN’s, it has also just been announced that Drake Von and Tony Genius will co-host that award show, which will happen Thursday, January 22, again, as all of AVN does, at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. This event recognizes more than 30 winners across its multiple categories of gay porn entertainment.

Von has won two GAYVN Awards in 2024 and 2023. Last year, Morris won her first AVN Award for her performance in Brazzers' “20 for 20” scene that was also named Best Foursome/Orgy Scene at the 2025 AVN Awards.

As their press sates: The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) is the largest pornography industry trade show in the United States, held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. Organized by AVN (Adult Video News) magazine, the expo serves as a platform for professionals and fans of the adult entertainment industry to connect, explore new products, and celebrate achievements.
