The Booker Prize 2026 longlist, announced 28 July, includes two previous winners: Douglas Stuart (2020, Shuggie Bain) and Marlon James (2015, A Brief History of Seven Killings).
The former-winner market resolves YES if the official longlist published by the Booker Prize Foundation on 28 July 2026 names any author who has previously won the Booker Prize; the Foundation's press release is the sole source of truth.
A new panel of judges chooses the list each year, and each panel must decide whether to let a past winner back in. We looked at the lists since 2019. Some panels welcomed back a famous name. Others filled the whole list with writers who had never won.
