BTS is vying for three awards at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.
The K-pop sensation secured a nomination for Best Group at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) on September 18, as announced by the organizers.
BTS had already clinched nominations for Song of the Year and Best K-Pop with “SWIM,” the title track from their fifth studio album ARIRANG. This latest nod brings their total to three potential wins at the upcoming ceremony.
The Best Group category holds particular significance for BTS. They’ve dominated this award for four consecutive years from 2019 to 2022, setting an unprecedented record. Fans and industry insiders are buzzing with anticipation to see if the septet can extend their winning streak.
The 2026 VMAs are set to unfold on September 27 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. For viewers in South Korea, the event will kick off at 8:30 a.m. (KST) on September 28.
Since their 2013 debut, BTS has skyrocketed to global stardom with chart-toppers like “Dynamite,” “Butter,” and “Permission to Dance,” cementing their status as the world’s premier boy band. Following a brief hiatus, they dropped their fifth studio album ARIRANG in March and are currently electrifying audiences on their world tour.
