China Media Group has published the full program lineup for its 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival gala, chinanews.com.cn reports. The announcement was made on Friday, September 25, 2026, according to the outlet.
The Mid-Autumn Festival gala is an annual broadcast produced by China Media Group, the state media organization commonly known as CCTV. The network's holiday specials, including its Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn programs, are regular fixtures on the Chinese broadcasting calendar.

The gala is typically one of the most-watched television events in China around the autumn holiday, alongside the network's Spring Festival broadcast earlier in the year.
What to watch next: China Media Group is expected to confirm broadcast times and viewing platforms for the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival gala as the holiday approaches.
