If you had registered for the Android 7.0 beta, you should see an OTA hitting your device pretty soon. The update also brings the EMUI 5 custom skin upgrade with Nougat.
Though, even better news is that you can download the Honor 8 Nougat beta firmware, and install it yourself. Link to download page and how to install guide is given below.
Note: Before trying to install the Nougat beta firmware on your Honor 8, know that the base software version required to be present on your device has to be FRD-L02C675B140CUSTC675D001, or B140.
The Nougat beta firmware comes as version FRD-L02C675B301CUSTC675D001, or B301. So, this is essential Marshmallow B140 to Nougat beta C301 update. If you are not on B140 already, then the update will fail.
