TORONTO, ON (February 26, 2026) – The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (CARAS) celebrates TD’s return as Premier Sponsor and Official Bank of The JUNO Awards, marking an impressive 15th consecutive year supporting Canada’s Biggest Night in Music.

In celebration of the powerful connection shared by artists and their fans, TD has returned as the name-in-title sponsor of TD JUNO Fan Choice, inviting fans across the country to vote for their favourite artist at TDJUNOFanChoice.ca. TD is proud to continue collaborating with CBC’s broadcast of The 2026 JUNO Awards through various activations to amplify TD JUNO Fan Choice and offer viewers an exclusive backstage pass both prior to, and during the broadcast on March 29, 2026, airing exclusively on CBC and CBC Gem platforms.
TD JUNO Fan Choice will be presented live during the broadcast. Continuing its support of musical excellence and cultural diversity, TD also returns as sponsor of South Asian Recording of the Year Presented by TD, which will be awarded at the JUNO Awards Gala on Saturday, March 28, 2026.
TD has also brought back the TD JUNOS Debut Program, a platform designed to support and build community among first-time JUNO nominees, helping them feel confident, celebrated, and prepared as they experience JUNO Week for the first time.
TD is also running a national contest that brings one lucky winner and their guest closer to the music than ever before, with a JUNO Weekend experience featuring two front‑row tickets to The JUNO Awards Broadcast on March 29.
“The JUNO Awards are an incredible celebration of Canadian music,” said Michael Armstrong, Vice President, North American Brand and Sponsorships, TD. “Music has a powerful way of bringing people together—it inspires, connects, and moves us in ways that feel uniquely human. As we continue our sponsorship of the JUNOS, we’re excited to be here for the fans and the music. “
