About this event
This event tracks who or what will be selected as TIME Person of the Year for 2026. Each individual market corresponds to a specific person, group, entity, or concept and measures whether they receive the official designation.
How the outcomes relate
The event consists of separate markets for individual candidates or entities. More than one market can resolve Yes if TIME explicitly names multiple individuals, or if multiple listed individuals are directly associated with an umbrella concept or group and appear on an official cover.
How it resolves
A market resolves to Yes if the listed person, group, entity, or thing is explicitly named as TIME Person of the Year for 2026. If a concept or group is selected, an individual resolves to Yes if explicitly named or if directly associated with it and pictured on an official announcement cover.
