Season 21 of AGT is right around the corner!

The previous season of America’s Got Talent (Season 20) ended on September 24, 2025. Singer and mom-to-be Jessica Sanchez was named the winner of the season, while comedian Chris Turner finished in second place.

It was a full-circle victory for Sanchez, who originally competed on the first season of AGT when she was only 10 years old.

Back in March, nearly six months after Sanchez won AGT, we learned the Season 21 premiere date in an announcement from NBC Mark your calendars for Tuesday, June 2, because that’s the big day!

You can watch the two-hour AGT premiere that evening at 8/7c on NBC. If you miss the episode, you can stream it the next day on Peacock.

After the premiere, two-hour audition episodes will air every Tuesday at the same time. Once the live shows start in August, the performance episodes will air on Tuesdays, and a second, results-based show will air on Wednesdays.

Like the premiere, all episodes for Season 21 of AGT will debut on NBC and stream on Peacock the following day.
