The 51st annual Toronto International Film Festival runs from September 10th to September 20th, 2026, in Toronto, Canada. Every year, the RogerEbert.com team returns to the fest to cover some of the festival’s most notable releases, as well as some under-the-radar curiosities we feel deserve to be discussed.

This year, Managing Editor Brian Tallerico, Publisher Chaz Ebert, and contributors Marya E. Gates, Cortlyn Kelly, Zachary Lee, Kaiya Shunyata, Robert Daniels, and Jason Gorber are on the ground covering the fest. Below is their compiled coverage, organized by writer.
