PornHub Awards 2026: The List of Winners

Just over a month after the nominations were announced, the winners of the eighth edition of the PornHub Awards have been revealed, an event that celebrates the platform’s excellence through a unique evaluation system in the adult awards landscape. Unlike other recognitions in the industry, the Pornhub Awards do not rely on judges or committees: the winners of the data-driven categories emerge from views, searches, and user engagement metrics on the platform, while the fan-voting categories are determined directly by the public through online votes.

The 2026 edition confirms the excellence of well-established faces alongside the emergence of new stars. Violet Myers claims the title of Most Popular Female Performer, succeeding Angela White who dominated the category last year. Johnny Sins conquers the Most Popular Male Performer title, taking over from Jak Knife. In the newcomer segment, Yasmina Khan emerges as Most Popular Female Newcomer while Victor Ray stands out as Most Popular Male Newcomer.

In the channel categories, Brazzers maintains its status as Most Popular Channel, while Latin Leche and Transfixed dominate the Gay and Trans categories respectively.

In this edition as well, PornHub has renewed its commitment to social justice, maintaining its partnership with SWOP Behind Bars, the organization run by sex workers dedicated to the rights and support of sex workers currently incarcerated or undergoing reintegration into society.
