The venue is Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan. South Korea is included in the YouTube livestream coverage. Google's announcement did not specify the streaming channel or start time.\n\nThe event schedule is based on CJ ENM's announcement dated March 31, 2026.\n\n## 2026 MAMA AWARDS Schedule and Key Information\n\nThe awards ceremony will take place over two days in Osaka, Japan. CJ ENM also announced live streaming through Mnet Plus. MAMA FAN FESTA, a fan participation event, starts before the main ceremony.\n\n| Category | Official announcement | What to check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| First day of the main ceremony | Friday, November 20, 2026 | CHAPTER 1 |\n| Second day of the main ceremony | Saturday, November 21, 2026 | CHAPTER 2 |\n| Main ceremony venue | Kyocera Dome Osaka, Japan | Online streaming and in-person attendance are separate |\n| Online streaming | YouTube, Mnet Plus | Check availability conditions by region |\n| MAMA FAN FESTA | November 9 to 21, 2026 | Held in Osaka and on Mnet Plus |\n| Lineup | Date-specific lists from the organizer and broadcaster | Distinguish these from appearances in promotional videos |\n| Total running time | Not specified in the cited event announcement | Check later schedules for the end time |\n\nThe main ceremony schedule is based on [CJ ENM's event announcement](https://cjnews.cj.net/?p=74981). The fan festa dates are listed in the description of Mnet Plus's official video. (Confirmed dates: November 9 to 21, 2026, KST · Source: mnetplus.world · As of 2026-10-26 · Checked on 2026-11-03) This video was posted on October 26, 2026.\n\n## Confirmed Details About the YouTube Livestream in South Korea\n\nSouth Korea is among the regions Google announced for the YouTube livestream. However, the post does not give the streaming channel name or start time. This can be checked in the event collaboration announcement on Google's Korean blog.\n\nThe original statement about regional restrictions reads as follows.\n\n\u003e Viewing may be restricted in some regions depending on local broadcasting rights and streaming conditions in countries and on platforms supporting the livestream.\n\nThe source is [the MAMA AWARDS collaboration announcement on Google's Korean blog](https://blog.google/intl/ko-kr/company-news/technology/google-2026-mama-awards/). Viewers overseas are subject to the streaming conditions of the region they connect from. The post does not display an exact publication date.\n\n## How to Watch and Platform Comparison\n\nTo decide where to watch, check both the conditions for your region and each platform's announcements. CJ ENM announced Mnet Plus streaming separately. The Japanese broadcaster is providing schedules for its services in Japan.\n\n| Viewing option | Scope of the announcement | Additional details to check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| YouTube in South Korea | Livestream support in South Korea | Official channel, livestream URL, streaming start time |\n| Mnet Plus | Live streaming announced by the organizer | Access region, conditions of use, livestream page |\n| Mnet CS broadcasting in Japan | Live broadcast scheduled by the Japanese broadcaster | Subscription requirements and schedule changes |\n| Mnet Smart+ in Japan | Live viewing on Basic and Premium plans | Applicable fees and payment options |\n\nFees for Japanese services cannot be treated as viewing costs in South Korea. Check the relevant platform's announcements for pricing conditions for streams in South Korea. To attend in person, check the organizer's ticket announcements separately for ticket sellers and conditions.\n\n## Distinguishing Japanese Broadcast Times from Streaming Times in South Korea\n\nMnet Japan has published the red carpet and main ceremony start times for each date. The table below shows the Japanese broadcast and streaming schedule. It does not confirm the YouTube streaming start times in South Korea.\n\n| Event date | Red carpet | Main ceremony | Applies to |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| November 20, 2026 | 15:30 | 18:00 | Mnet Japan announcement, local time in Japan |\n| November 21, 2026 | 12:30 | 15:00 | Mnet Japan announcement, local time in Japan |\n\nThe schedule is based on the [Mnet Japan event page](https://mnetjp.com/mama/2026/). Broadcast and streaming dates, times, and content may change without prior notice. Even for the same event, coverage must be checked separately for each platform.\n\nThis distinction also matters when deciding whether you can watch the red carpet. The Japanese services explicitly list red carpet coverage. This cannot be taken as evidence that other platforms will also offer it.\n\n## Event Overview and What to Watch For\n\nMAMA AWARDS is a music event combining award presentations and artist performances. It began in 1999 as the Video Music Awards. In 2022, it was rebranded as MAMA AWARDS.\n\nPoints of interest this year include stage production and ways for fans to participate. Google announced a collaboration between the production team and Gemini. CJ ENM announced the launch of MAMA FAN FESTA.\n\n- Gemini is expected to be used in advance promotional planning and the opening video, among other areas.\n- Production of major highlight performances is also included in the Gemini collaboration.\n- MAMA FAN FESTA is an associated event with online and in-person participation.\n\n### The Difference Between Fan Festa and Super Fan\n\nFan festa is a participatory event, while super fan is an official ambassador program. Super fans are given the right to participate in selecting FANS' CHOICE nominees. The two names do not refer to the same application process or the same program.\n\n| Category | Role | Announced schedule |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| MAMA FAN FESTA | Associated fan participation event | November 9 to 21, 2026 |\n| MAMA SUPER FAN | Official ambassadors, participation in nominee selection | Application deadline: September 6, 2026, KST |\n\nThe super fan application deadline has already passed. This date comes from CJ ENM's announcement on August 28, 2026. Current participation programs should be distinguished from past recruitment notices.\n\nThe programs are explained in [CJ ENM's super fan and fan festa announcement](https://cjnews.cj.net/?p=79450). The event dates can be confirmed in the [official Mnet Plus fan festa video](https://www.mnetplus.world/media/en/videos/6ad6c4872849553f0f260de2). Event announcements are the reference for individual program locations and operating hours.\n\n## The Difference Between Promotional Videos and Confirmed Details About This Year's Performances\n\nPast performances shown in promotional videos do not confirm the songs to be performed this year. Edited videos such as STAGE SPOTLIGHT should be interpreted the same way. To confirm appearances this year, check the official lineup for each date.\n\n| Information checked | What it establishes | Additional information needed |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Promotional video featuring past performances | Performances featured in the video | Announcements of this year's appearances and performance songs |\n| Award category nominee video | Nominees in that category | Whether they will actually appear |\n| Date-specific lineup | Announced appearance dates | Start times for individual performances |\n| Main ceremony broadcast schedule | Broadcast start time | Performance order by artist |\n\nThe official Mnet Plus video list distinguishes nominee videos from teasers. Nominee selection and performance appearances are different kinds of information. A lineup alone does not establish the performance order or song selections.\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n### Can I watch on YouTube in South Korea?\n\nSouth Korea is included in the official announcement. However, the streaming channel and access link must be checked separately.\n\n### Is Mnet K-POP the streaming channel for the main ceremony?\n\nThe channel that posted a promotional video alone cannot confirm this. Use the channel name in the main ceremony livestream announcement as the reference.\n\n### Can I use the main ceremony times announced in Japan as they are?\n\nThey can serve as reference information for understanding the event schedule. Separate announcements determine when access begins on platforms in South Korea.\n\n### Can I watch the full video again after the livestream ends?\n\nA livestream announcement alone does not confirm that a full replay will be available. Follow-up information from the platform is needed to check how long it will remain available and what will be accessible.\n\n### Is fan festa the main awards ceremony?\n\nFan festa is a separate, associated fan participation event. The main ceremony takes place on November 20 and 21, 2026 (Japan).","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 MAMA AWARDS will be held \u003cstrong\u003eNovember 20 to 21, 2026 (Japan)\u003c/strong\u003e.
