Explore the 2026 applied-for strings publicly disclosed from ICANN’s new gTLD round. Every applicant–string claim is separately classified and linked to available supporting evidence.
Last updated: September 1, 2026 · Pre-Reveal-Day intelligence based on 863 public applicant–string claims — not an official ICANN application list.
Compare these 2026 applied-for strings with the complete TLD list, or explore additional TLDz analysis and insights.
Methodology and verification direct applicant disclosure, a credible industry report, an applicant indication, or not yet verified. Available source links are provided beside the relevant applicant.
Multiple disclosed applicants means more than one applicant has been publicly associated with an identical string. It is not an official ICANN contention-set determination. “No other publicly disclosed applicant” does not mean another application does not exist. Potential string similarity identifies obvious plural or near-string relationships for further review; it is not an ICANN String Similarity Panel determination.
Existing-TLD note: Six disclosed strings match TLDs already delegated in the IANA Root Zone. They remain included in the list exactly as publicly disclosed and are identified with a note for context.
Name collision has a specific technical DNS meaning and is separate from applicant overlap or string similarity. The tracker will add name-collision findings only when reliable ICANN or technical assessment data becomes available; none is inferred from disclosure lists.
