With the “America’s Got Talent” Season 21 auditions and Judges’ Callbacks round finished, the spotlight now shifts to the live shows. Now the “AGT” fans at home can cast their votes to help decide which acts move forward, bringing their favorites one step closer to glory, fame, and the ultimate $1 million prize.
To get us to the point of hearing the winner of “America’s Got Talent” 2026 being announced, we have to get through these voting rounds. However, you might be wondering how to vote on “America’s Got Talent” 2026. We address those concerns with our “America’s Got Talent” spoilers below.
The Quarterfinals on ‘AGT’ Season 21
We watched as the “AGT” judges — Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Melanie “Mel B” Brown — hosted the very first Judges’ Callback rounds. This gave a few of the acts one more chance to show the judges they deserve a spot in the live shows.
Things ended with the Top 44 Quarterfinalists in place. Now they will compete on Tuesday nights for your votes. Then the “AGT” results of each night’s voting air on Wednesday nights.
No more Golden Buzzers for the judges to hand out. That means the only way to get to the finals is to win America’s votes.
How Do I Vote on ‘America’s Got Talent’
Voting for your favorite acts on “America’s Got Talent” Season 21 begins tonight. You can cast your votes in three different ways: online, via mobile app, or on TikTok.
When the episode starts, you can go to the “America’s Got Talent” app or the NBC site. For either of these platforms, you need to log in using your email. If you don’t already have one, you need to create an account.
You can vote for your favorite act up to 10 times. Voting takes place from 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday nights, when the live shows begin, and ends at 7 a.m. ET on Wednesday mornings.
For TikTok voting, you need an active TikTok account, and you need to follow the “America’s Got Talent” account.
You will then need to look for a TikTok from @agt prompting you to “comment to vote.” On that post, you need to write the full name of the act you’re voting for in the comments.
Like the other voting options, you can vote up to 10 times (they must each be separate comments) using TikTok. Just make sure you are using the official “Vote Here” post. Any comments on other TikToks won’t be counted.
Voting closes on TikTok at 7 a.m. ET on Wednesdays.
