Page Six is bringing back its “Virtual Reali-Tea” Awards for 2026, with the network reporting the event will take place in New York City on Oct. 6 at the Edison Ballroom.

According to Page Six, the show will be a glam, gala-style awards program focused on “the year’s most iconic moments” in reality television. The publication says the event is designed to celebrate and spotlight standout scenes and personalities from the genre over the past year.

The awards program will be hosted by “VRT” stars Evan Real and Danny Murphy, Page Six reported. The publication also said the event will include performances and appearances from “top talent,” as part of the in-person ceremony.

Page Six’s announcement frames the event as a return of a previously held awards concept, now scheduled to come back to the Big Apple in 2026. Details about ticketing and getting seats were included in the announcement, with Page Six telling readers to purchase tickets for the Oct. 6 show.

The Edison Ballroom, the venue named for the ceremony, will serve as the host location for the event in New York City. The Page Six report did not describe specific seating tiers, ticket prices, or capacity figures in the material provided.

The show’s format, as described by Page Six, blends awards recognition with live entertainment. Page Six said the program will feature performances and appearances beyond the awards presentation itself.

After the Oct. 6 date approaches, the next major public steps will be ticket purchase and any further announcements related to who will appear or perform at the ceremony. Page Six’s report indicates additional talent involvement as part of the show, but the specific names and categories were not included in the provided details.
