America's Got Talent Season 21 Returns June 2, 2026

America's Got Talent returns on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at 8/7c with a two-hour season premiere. The series is back with an all-new lineup of aspiring acts competing for the ultimate $1 million prize. Auditions for Season 21 began in January and will continue through March 19.

Virtual auditions allow performers to submit a video or share a YouTube link, and members of the public can nominate someone they think would be a perfect fit. The full judge panel is returning: Mandel, executive producer Simon Cowell, Sofía Vergara and Melanie "Mel B" Brown will all be on hand, and Terry Crews is back as host.

Crews, who has hosted since Season 14 and will return for his eighth season, said, "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.'" "But also, it's when things go wrong.
