2026 MAMA AWARDS announces dates and venue

Get ready to celebrate another year of K-pop with MAMA AWARDS!

On March 31, CJ ENM announced that the 2026 MAMA AWARDS will take place on November 20 and 21 at the Kyocera Dome Osaka in Osaka, Japan.

The 2026 MAMA AWARDS will be streamed live worldwide via Mnet Plus, and with the foundation of the belief that “Music Makes ONE”, the show will have multiple online and offline events.

First launched in 1999 as Korea’s first music video ceremony by CJ ENM’s music channel Mnet, the awards were rebranded as MAMA AWARDS of the Mnet Asian Music Awards in 2009, underscoring its commitment to go global. Since then, MAMA AWARDS has been at the forefront of K-pop’s global expansion by hosting the ceremony around the world, including Macau, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Japan and the United States.
