Submissions to the 98th Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film
The category was previously called the Best Foreign Language Film, but this was changed in April 2019 to Best International Feature Film, after the Academy deemed the word "Foreign" to be outdated.
The deadline for the submissions is October 1, 2025. The Academy is scheduled to announce a list of eligible submissions in October 2025 from which 15 finalists will be shortlisted on December 16, 2025. The final five nominees will be announced on January 22, 2026. The winner will be announced on March 15, 2026 at the Oscar ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
