Last summer, the awards ceremony was pushed back from its usual January slot (where it has been held every year since 2010) to a date in late April.

RadioTimes.com understands this was a precautionary measure on account of the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing rules.

However, following another surge in coronavirus cases, a second delay was deemed necessary, and the date has now been set for Tuesday 9th September 2021 at The O2 in London.

While that might seem a while away yet, voting for all the major categories opens this spring, meaning you can have your say on who'll be walking away with a coveted trophy in hand.

Read on for everything you need to know about how to cast your vote in the NTAs.
