BRIT Awards, a privately owned entity headquartered in the UK, was founded in 1977 and has an approximate employee count of 30. Functioning as the annual showcase for the UK music industry, the organization focuses on recognizing musicians. The organising company, BRIT Awards Limited, is a fully owned subsidiary of the BPI.
On October 1, 2026, the BRIT Awards revealed an independent economic and social impact study for its 2026 show at Co-op Live Manchester. The study confirmed the event, the first time in the ceremony's nearly five-decade history it was held outside London, delivered a £5 million spend into the city, over 15,000 days of employment, and £11.2 million in monetized social impact. Previously, on June 10, 2026, the BRIT Awards announced the date for its 2027 show, confirming its return to Manchester’s Co-op Live for a second consecutive year, following a prior announcement that the awards would move to Manchester for both 2026 and 2027. This followed the 2026 ceremony on June 8, 2026, where Olivia Dean's "The Art Of Loving" was crowned Album of the Year.
