While it doesn’t seem like that long ago we watched Jessica Sanchez win “America’s Got Talent” Season 20, but here we are ready to get started on “AGT” Season 21. Yes, a new season of “America’s Got Talent” starts tonight on NBC. We have a new batch of acts ready to take the stage and fight to be named the winner of “AGT” 2026. Who will get the first Golden Buzzer? Which acts will move on to the next round? Most importantly: where can you watch “America’s Got Talent” tonight? Find out the details below in our “America’s Got Talent” spoilers.
Where Can You Watch ‘America’s Got Talent’?
“America’s Got Talent” Season 21 will premiere on June 2 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on NBC. The two-hour premiere will then be available to stream on Peacock on June 3.
For this new season, viewers will be able to watch two-hour audition episodes every Tuesday night, according to NBC.
The live shows will start airing on August 18, with new episodes airing twice a week. Again, this will consist of two-hour episodes on Tuesdays for the live performances. On Wednesdays, viewers will find out the results from the Tuesday night show at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.
For this new season, fans can expect to see all sorts of talent take that stage. That’s why “AGT” is successful, because it gives viewers a wide variety of talent. We could see a rapper come out and perform, and up next, a contortionist or a comedian, or a comedian that raps. The options are endless, and Season 21 is going to bring that excitement to fans.
Who Are the ‘AGT’ Season 21 Judges?
With Season 21 kicking off tonight, we are going to see some familiar faces behind the judges’ table this summer. All of the Season 20 judges — Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B, and Sofia Vergara — will be back for another season.
Simon also serves as the show’s executive producer. Season 21 will be his 11th season as a judge on this NBC summer reality TV show. Howie Mandel returns for his 17th season as judge. Sofia Vergara is back for her seventh season, and Mel B returns for her eighth season.
We will see another familiar face on that “AGT” stage. Terry Crews will also be back for another season as host. He has hosted the show since Season 14.
When talking with Craig Melvin on TODAY in 2025, Crews revealed that he feels more like a mentor of sorts to the acts who take the “AGT” stage. This is all in addition to his hosting duties.
“First of all, [the Acts] have nothing but nerves, and it’s my job to set the stage and calm them down and let them know, ‘This is what you’ve been preparing for your whole life — this is the moment,'” Crews explained to TODAY’s Craig Melvin. “But also, it’s when things go wrong. When things don’t happen the way they want it to, I’m their counselor, you know? I’m the guy that’s like, ‘Hey, welcome to the biz,’ because it’s happened to all of us. All of us at one time or another have been rejected.”
