Awards season is here. The XMA Awards and AVN Awards both go down in January, and VR porn categories have become some of the most competitive in the industry. Here's what to watch for.
The Shows
XMA Awards (January 18, 2026) — The Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles. Hosted by Violet Myers and Kazumi. Formerly the XBIZ Awards, this show rebranded in 2025 and continues to be the industry's top professional honor.
AVN Awards (January 24, 2026) — Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The longest-running adult awards, now in their 43rd year. AVN separates VR into one-on-one and group categories.
