Key moments
BTS is making a highly anticipated return to the spotlight with a performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 25 and 26, 2026. This marks their first public appearance after a nearly four-year hiatus due to military service, and fans are eager to see the group back in action.
The episodes will air at 11:35 p.m. PT/ET on NBC, allowing fans to tune in live or stream the performances through platforms like DirecTV, Sling, and Hulu + Live TV. For those who miss the live airing, the episodes will be available for on-demand streaming on Peacock the following day.
During these episodes, BTS will perform the lead single “SWIM” from their eagerly awaited sixth album, titled ARIRANG. The excitement in the studio is palpable, with many fans from the ARMY present at the taping, eager to witness their idols live.
As BTS prepares for their world tour, which kicks off in April 2026 in Goyang, South Korea, the performances on Fallon serve as a crucial promotional platform for their new music. This tour is expected to draw massive crowds, further solidifying BTS’s status as global superstars.
In addition to the thrilling performances, BTS members have shared their thoughts on their return. Jin humorously remarked, “We have two because we have a left leg and a right leg, and therefore a left butt and a right butt,” while V described the new album as “2.0 is like a ‘chapter 2’ for them.” These statements reflect the group’s lighthearted spirit as they embark on this new chapter.
Fans can take advantage of various streaming options, with DirecTV offering a five-day free trial for new subscribers, while Hulu + Live TV provides a three-day free trial for eligible users. Peacock Premium, which will host the episodes on-demand, costs $10.99 per month after the trial period.
As the date approaches, excitement continues to build around BTS’s performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The group’s return to the stage is not just a performance; it symbolizes a significant moment in their career and a celebration for their dedicated fanbase.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional surprises or special guests during the episodes, but anticipation is high as BTS prepares to make their mark once again.
