The venue is Kyocera Dome Osaka (京セラドーム大阪). Performers are divided by date. Mnet Plus has been announced as the platform for the worldwide live stream.\n\nThe event dates are based on CJ ENM's announcement on September 1, 2026.\n\n## Event Overview\n\nMAMA AWARDS combines music awards with artist performances. It began as Mnet's music video awards ceremony in 1999. This year's event will also include MAMA FAN FESTA, a fan participation program.\n\nThe performer lineup for each date is separate from the award presenter lineup. The performer list identifies the artists who will perform on stage. The presenter list identifies those who will present awards.\n\n## 2026 MAMA Schedule and Key Information\n\nThe main ceremony is scheduled for 6 p.m. on the first day and 3 p.m. on the second day. South Korea and Japan are in the same time zone, so the times are the same in both countries. The red carpet starts at a separate time from the main ceremony.\n\n| Item | Friday, November 20, 2026 | Saturday, November 21, 2026 |\n|---|---|---|\n| Event segment | CHAPTER 1 | CHAPTER 2 |\n| Red carpet | 3:30 p.m. | 12:30 p.m. |\n| Main ceremony | 6 p.m. | 3 p.m. |\n| Venue | Kyocera Dome Osaka | Kyocera Dome Osaka |\n| Announced worldwide streaming platform | Mnet Plus | Mnet Plus |\n\nThe schedule comes from Mnet Japan's event page. The page does not show a publication date. It notes that broadcast and online streaming times and content may change. The end time and total running time need to be checked separately.\n\n## 2026 MAMA Lineup by Date\n\nThe official performer lineup is divided into CHAPTER 1 and CHAPTER 2. ENHYPEN, ILLIT, NCT WISH, and TREASURE are included on the first day. BIGBANG, IVE, LE SSERAFIM, and ZEROBASEONE will take the stage on the second day.\n\n| Performance date | Performers listed on the official page |\n|---|---|\n| November 20, 2026 | ALLDAY PROJECT, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, BABYMONSTER, CL, ENHYPEN, Hearts2Hearts, ILLIT, INI, LNGSHOT, MODYSSEY, NCT WISH, RESCENE, Street World Fighter : Directors' War, TREASURE |\n| November 21, 2026 | BIGBANG, CORTIS, HWASA, IVE, izna, KiiiKiii, KO1KEYZ, LE SSERAFIM, NAYEON (TWICE), WOODZ, ZEROBASEONE, \u0026TEAM |\n\n## 2026 MAMA Award Presenter Lineup\n\nA total of **25** award presenters have been announced separately from the performers. The announcement is also covered in an iMBC report dated October 22, 2026. Mnet Japan's event page lists the following names.\n\n- Kim Yeon-koung, Kim Yoo-jung, Kim Jae-won, Kim Hye-soo, MONIKA\n- Moon Sang-min, Michieda Shunsuke (道枝駿佑), Seo In-young, Seol In-ah, Ong Seong-wu\n- Yoo In-na, Yoon Kyung-ho, Lee Da-hee, Lee Sang-yi, Lee Sung-kyung\n- Lee Sung-min, Lee Jun-ho, Lee Chae-min, Jang Keun-suk, Jang Hang-jun\n- Jo Yu-ri, Choi Dae-hoon, KANY DIABATE, Heo Nam-jun, Hwang Min-hyun\n\nBeing listed as an award presenter does not confirm participation in a performance. Separate announcements should be checked for the presenters' appearances by date. Hosts should also be distinguished from award presenters.\n\n## Comparing 2026 MAMA Broadcasts and Viewing Options\n\nMnet Plus is the official online streaming platform to check for viewing in South Korea. CJ ENM announced a worldwide live stream. Paid viewing information on the Japanese event page should be distinguished from the conditions for users in South Korea.\n\nCJ NEWSROOM's announcement dated September 1, 2026, includes the following wording.\n\n\u003e will stream live worldwide via Mnet Plus.\n\nThis means the event will be streamed live worldwide through Mnet Plus. This wording alone does not confirm that viewing will be free. Login requirements, fees, and supported devices should be checked in the platform's event announcement.\n\n| Viewing option | Scope of the official announcement | What to check |\n|---|---|---|\n| Mnet Plus | Worldwide live streaming announced by CJ ENM | Event viewing page, login requirements, and terms of use |\n| Mnet Smart+ | Smartphone and PC viewing information for Japan | Eligible paid plans and payment terms |\n| Japanese CS channel Mnet | TV viewing information for Japan | Broadcast subscription and reception setup |\n\nMnet Plus and Mnet Smart+ are different services. There is no basis for treating a Japanese subscription plan as a requirement for viewing in South Korea. South Korean TV scheduling should be checked separately in Mnet Korea's program guide.\n\n## The Difference Between Appearance Dates and Stage Times\n\nThe performer lineup for each date does not indicate when individual performances will start. The main ceremony's start time does not indicate a particular singer's performance time either. The order of names on the list should not be interpreted as the performance order.\n\n| Published information | What it tells you | What it does not tell you on its own |\n|---|---|---|\n| Performer lineup by date | The announced date of an appearance | Performance order and individual start times |\n| Main ceremony start time | The scheduled start of the awards ceremony | When the singer you want to see will appear |\n| Award presenter lineup | People announced as award presenters | Whether they will perform and their order of appearance |\n\nTo watch a particular performance, use the main ceremony's start time for that date as your reference. The detailed order can be checked if an additional program announcement is released. Without an end time, it is difficult to put a definite expected running time into your schedule.\n\n## What to Watch For\n\nThe points to watch are the performance lineup for each date and the roles of those presenting awards. The official lists allow you to compare the lineups across the two dates. Songs and special stages cannot be assumed without separate announcements.\n\n- ENHYPEN, ILLIT, NCT WISH, and TREASURE are scheduled to perform on the first day.\n- BIGBANG, IVE, LE SSERAFIM, and ZEROBASEONE will appear on the second day.\n- Kim Hye-soo, Kim Yeon-koung, and Jang Hang-jun are among those announced as award presenters.\n\n## MAMA FAN FESTA and Attending in Person\n\nMAMA FAN FESTA is a fan event separate from the main awards ceremony. According to Visa's announcement on October 13, 2026, it runs from November 9 to 21 in Japan. It will take place on-site in Osaka and online through Mnet Plus.\n\n| Category | Officially announced dates | Format |\n|---|---|---|\n| Main awards ceremony | November 20 and 21, 2026 | Awards and artist performances |\n| MAMA FAN FESTA | November 9 to 21, 2026 | Online and on-site fan participation program |\n| MAMA SUPER FAN recruitment | August 27 to September 6, 2026 | Recruitment of fans to help select FANS' CHOICE nominees |\n\nSUPER FAN recruitment is a different process from signing up to watch the live stream. The recruitment period announced by CJ ENM has already ended. There is no basis for interpreting nonparticipation in this recruitment as making someone ineligible to watch.\n\nTo attend in person, follow the ticketing information, which is separate from streaming information. Registration for the presale announced by Visa closed on October 18, 2026, in Japan. Subsequent sale dates and prices should be checked in the ticket announcements on the official event page. (Verified details for the 2026 second-round advance application period: October 21 15:00~October 25 23:59, results scheduled for announcement: October 28 12:00, payment deadline: October 30 23:59 (Japan), bank transfers by 15:00 . Standard reserved seats: November · Source qoo10.jp · Checked 2026-10-26)\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n### Do I need to account for a time difference with Japan?\n\nThere is no time difference between South Korea and Japan. The announced 6 p.m. start is also 6 p.m. in South Korea. However, check the official announcements shortly before the event for any schedule changes.\n\n### Is the Mnet Plus live stream free?\n\nThe worldwide live streaming announcement alone does not establish whether viewing is free. CJ ENM's announcement does not specify conditions for free viewing. The actual terms of use are determined by Mnet Plus's event viewing information.\n\n### Can I also watch the red carpet on Mnet Plus?\n\nMnet Japan provides information about red carpet coverage through its Japanese broadcast and online streaming services. This information alone does not confirm the scope of Mnet Plus's coverage. Check Mnet Plus separately for an announcement about red carpet programming.\n\n### Can I watch a replay if I miss the live stream?\n\nCJ ENM's live streaming announcement does not include terms for replay availability. Live streaming and replays have separate service terms. Further announcements from the platform are needed to confirm whether the full video will be available and for how long.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003e2026 MAMA AWARDS will be held in Japan on \u003cstrong\u003eNovember 20 and 21\u003c/strong\u003e.
