Where to Watch BTS at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival: Time, Disney+ and Livestream
BTS is taking the stage tonight — and ARMY doesn't need to be in Las Vegas to watch it happen.
RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook are performing at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival on Friday, September 18, marking one of BTS' major festival appearances of the year.
The good news? The festival is being livestreamed.
Here's where to watch BTS, when the broadcast starts and what fans in Mexico and other countries need to know.

What time does BTS perform at iHeartRadio 2026?
The official live broadcast begins Friday at:
7:30 p.m. Pacific Time
10:30 p.m. Eastern Time
That's the start time for the festival broadcast, not a confirmed BTS-specific stage time.
iHeartRadio has confirmed BTS for Friday night's lineup but has not published an exact individual BTS performance time.
So if you're watching specifically for BTS, the safest option is to tune in when the broadcast begins.
What time can you watch BTS in Mexico?
For viewers in Mexico City and Central Mexico, the festival broadcast begins at approximately:
8:30 p.m. on Friday, September 18
Because the exact BTS stage time hasn't been officially announced, ARMY should be ready from the beginning of the broadcast rather than waiting for an unofficial schedule circulating on social media.
Can you listen to BTS for free?
There's another option if you can't watch the video stream.
iHeartRadio is broadcasting the festival live through its radio stations across more than 150 U.S. markets.

Where is BTS performing?
The festival takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
BTS performs during the first night on September 18.

Will BTS’ iHeartRadio performance be available afterward?
Fans should distinguish between the live broadcast and clips that may become available later.
iHeartRadio typically publishes festival coverage and performance highlights, while availability of the complete broadcast afterward can depend on the streaming platform and territory.
If you don't want to risk missing BTS, watching live remains the safest option.
