BRIT Awards Winning Weekend: Complete Promotion Details for 2026
Global has officially announced the BRIT Awards Winning Weekend promotion, scheduled to run on the Capital Network from Saturday 21st to Sunday 22nd February 2026. This exciting competition offers listeners seventeen opportunities to win pairs of tickets to the prestigious BRIT Awards ceremony at Manchester's Co-op Live arena on Saturday 28th February 2026.
Promotion Structure and Entry Requirements
The promotion will feature seventeen distinct competition rounds throughout the weekend, with specific time slots allocated for different regions. Listeners must tune into the Capital Network during designated periods to participate. The schedule includes sessions that include Scotland and Wales, as well as others that exclude certain regions, ensuring broad but targeted participation across the UK.
During each promotion round, presenters will announce a specific song from a 2026 BRIT Award nominee. When listeners hear the complete track broadcast on air, they must immediately send a text message containing the keyword 'BRITS' to the dedicated number 83958. The entry window lasts only for the duration of the song, creating an urgent, engaging competition atmosphere.
Entry Rules and Technical Considerations
Important entry restrictions apply: Participants must use the same phone number throughout the entire promotion period and are limited to one entry per competition round. The use of multiple devices, automated systems, or group entry methods is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification. Standard network charges apply for text messages, and participants should verify costs with their service providers.
Global emphasizes that they cannot be held responsible for network latency affecting text message delivery. The text system resets after each competition round, with different songs featured in subsequent rounds as announced live by presenters.
Winner Selection Process
Within thirty minutes of each round's closing time, all eligible entries undergo a random draw. Selected winners receive a telephone call from Global representatives on the number used for entry. Winners must answer personally, as calls cannot be transferred to others or answered on behalf of the entrant.
Successful call recipients may participate in live or pre-recorded broadcasts with presenters, potentially answering additional questions or completing tasks. Failure to answer clearly, background noise issues, or connection problems may result in disqualification and selection of alternative winners.
Eligibility and Verification Requirements
The promotion is exclusively available to UK residents aged eighteen years or older who are physically located within the United Kingdom at the time of entry. Only one prize may be won per person during the entire promotion period.
Winners must provide valid photo identification and proof of address matching their entry details before receiving prizes. Global reserves the right to request telephone number verification and other documentation to confirm eligibility.
Prize Details and Event Information
Seventeen winning entrants will each receive a pair of e-tickets to the BRIT Awards 2026 ceremony at Manchester's Co-op Live arena. Tickets will be delivered digitally via Ticketmaster at least forty-eight hours before the event, requiring winners to have active Ticketmaster accounts and the official app installed.
Important venue details: Doors open at 19:00 with seating required by 20:00 for the 20:15 show start. The event concludes around 22:30 and will be broadcast live on ITV. Tickets provide seating on Level 3, which may be unsuitable for individuals with height-related anxieties.
Additional Terms and Responsibilities
Winners and their guests must enter the venue together and may need to present photo identification. All additional expenses including travel, accommodation, food, beverages, and other costs remain the responsibility of prize recipients.
The promotion includes specific provisions regarding COVID-19 measures, requiring compliance with all relevant regulations and guidelines. Global maintains the right to substitute prizes of equal or greater value if circumstances prevent original prize fulfillment.
Data Protection and Privacy Considerations
Personal data provided during entry will be processed by Global, promotion partner Ticketmaster, and relevant service providers for administration purposes. Information may be shared with regulatory bodies like Ofcom for compliance monitoring.
Participants' personal data will be retained for up to three years for internal and regulatory purposes, though early erasure requests result in forfeiture of entry rights and potential prizes. Marketing opt-ins are available but can be withdrawn at any time.
Global's complete privacy policy and additional terms are available through their official channels, with customer support accessible for promotion-related inquiries.
