The Film Independent Spirit Awards are presented annually by Film Independent. The ceremony for the 41st Film Independent Spirit Awards is scheduled for February 15, 2026. This market will resolve according to the listed person that wins Best Director at the 41st Film Independent Spirit Awards. If, for any reason, no winner is declared by April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or in case of a tie for the winner, this market will resolve in favor of the listed person whose name comes first in alphabetical order. The resolution source will be the television broadcast of the Film Independent Spirit Awards and the official Film Independent website (https://www.filmindependent.org/spirit-awards/); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
