The primary source for all information regarding upcoming new generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) projects is ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), which manages the New gTLD Program.
The next round of applications for new gTLDs is called the New gTLD Program: Next Round, and the application window is projected to open in April 2026.
Since the application window has not yet opened, there is no official list of applied-for projects available yet.
📌 Key Resources for Upcoming gTLDs:
- ICANN's New gTLD Program: Next Round Website:
- This is the official resource for the program's timeline, policy development, and preparation for the next application round. You can find information about the expected application submission period (projected for April 2026) and related support programs.
- ICANN's Current Application Status Page:
- This page lists all the gTLD strings from the previous round (2012) and their current status (Delegated, Withdrawn, etc.). This is not for the upcoming round, but it shows the format of the official application list once the next round is complete.
- TLD Launch Schedule Websites:
- Third-party websites that track TLD launches (like TLD-List or Com Laude) often list the latest new gTLDs that are approaching their Sunrise (for trademark owners) or General Availability dates. These are domains that have been approved in the past round and are just now being launched by their registry operators.
In summary, for the Next Round of New gTLDs (expected to open in 2026), ICANN's dedicated website is the place to monitor for updates, timelines, and the future release of the application list.
Would you like me to find the direct link to ICANN's New gTLD Program: Next Round website?
