TIME Reveals the 2026 TIME100 List of the 100 Most Influential People in the World
The annual list spotlights 100 influential people and includes first-time livestreamed red carpet coverage for the gala.
- On Wednesday, TIME revealed the 2026 TIME100 list of the world's 100 most influential people, featuring four worldwide covers with actor Zoe Saldaña, comedian Nikki Glaser, actor Wagner Moura, and singer-songwriter Luke Combs.
- TIME Editor in Chief Sam Jacobs explained that "there is no single metric that defines influence," noting selections reflect the stories shaping the world each year rather than popularity alone.
- The 20th annual TIME100 Gala and sixth-annual Summit will convene leaders in New York City on April 22 and April 23, featuring host Glaser, performer Combs, and singer-songwriter Coco Jones.
- For the first time, the Gala red carpet will be livestreamed on TIME's YouTube, Instagram, and X platforms, produced by TIME Studios and hosted by Maura Higgins and Terrence J.
- The 103-year-old brand reaches over 120 million people globally, and this year's list includes repeat honorees Donald Trump , Benjamin Netanyahu , and Xi Jinping , alongside youngest selectee Alysa Liu at age 20.
