BTS is scheduled to make a special appearance at the 2026 American Music Awards. The group is also nominated in three categories, according to reports from multiple outlets. BTS is listed for Artiste of the Year, Song of the Summer, and Best Male K-pop Artiste (sometimes rendered as Best Male K-Pop Artist). The nominations reflect the group’s presence across general awards categories as well as a K-pop-specific category. Coverage does not provide additional details on the nature of the group’s planned performance or appearance at the ceremony. The American Music Awards take place later in the year, and the final lineup of winners will be determined at the event. Both sources agree on the key points that BTS will appear and that the group has three nominations in the specified categories.
