The 2027 Sundance Film Festival takes place Jan. 21-31, 2027, in Boulder, Colorado, with at-home online screenings from Thursday, Jan. 28, to Sunday, Jan. 31, the Sundance Institute says. It is the festival’s first year in Boulder. The 2026 edition was held in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, from Jan. 22 to Feb. 1, per the Institute’s 2026 guide. The film lineup “will be announced in December,” with no day given as of Nov. 4, 2026.

Can you watch Sundance 2027 online?

Yes, for the last four days. The Institute lists “at-home online screenings from Thursday, January 28, to Sunday, January 31.” That window opens the day before the awards announcement on Friday, Jan. 29. The Institute pages we used do not say which films will be online, so the choice waits for the December lineup.

When do Sundance 2027 tickets go on sale?

Single film tickets go on sale starting Jan. 8, 2027, the Institute said in its Oct. 21, 2026 announcement. In-person ticket packages and passes and online ticket packages and passes were already on sale at that time. We did not find prices on the Institute pages we used, so none are listed here.

When is the Sundance 2027 lineup announced?

December 2026, per the Institute’s July 29, 2026 post. The Institute has not given a day. This story will carry the date once the Institute announces it.
