After a fallow year in 2023, due to the organisers moving the ceremony to coincide with the early-year awards season that features the Grammys and the Brit Awards, the 26th MOBO Awards were held on 7 February 2024 at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield.[1][2] The 26th annual awards recognised achievements in "Music Of Black Origin" during 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023.[3] The ceremony was hosted by former Love Island star Indiyah Polack and actor Babatunde Aléshé.[4] It was live-streamed through YouTube, with highlights shown by the BBC two days later.[5]

The nominees were announced on 14 December 2023. In addition to the two existing honorary awards, Paving the Way and Lifetime Achievement, two additional awards were announced: Mobo Impact and Mobo Pioneer.[6] The Outstanding Contribution Award was not bestowed in this year.
