The 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards just got a whole lot bigger. Billboard and Telemundo revealed the latest batch of performers and presenters, and the Oct. 22 show is shaping up to be the biggest night in Latin music this year. Carmen Villalobos and Javier Poza host live from Miami’s James L. Knight Center, airing on Telemundo and Peacock.
Peso Pluma leads all finalists with 17 entries, followed by Tito Double P with 15 and Fuerza Regida with 12. Karol G, Prince Royce and Bad Bunny also land in the mix. Meanwhile, the special honors are turning heads: Fuerza Regida receives the Billboard Vanguard Award, Rosalía enters the Hall of Fame, and Rubén Blades gets his own well-deserved moment.
Set to perform are Ozuna, Carlos Rivera, Manuel Turizo, Becky G and Elvis Crespo, with more names expected. Before the main event, Billboard Latin Music Week runs Oct. 19-21 at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach, giving fans a full week of panels, showcases and star sightings. So who are you rooting for to sweep the night?
