New gTLD Program: 2026 Round Application Statistics


Here you can find a high-level overview of the New gTLD Program: 2026 Round applications, including the number of applicants, applications, applied-for strings and variants. Contention sets and objections and appeals will be included here as they become publicly available.

Applications for which the applicant has designated a replacement string will have two application records on the Applications tab during the period between Reveal Day and String Confirmation Day but count as one application in the statistics below. After String Confirmation Day, application records for strings that are not selected will have the status "Deactivated."

Explore public information about specific applications, contention sets, and objections and appeals using the site navigation above.
