MAMA Awards 2026 nominees, how to vote: BIGBANG, BTS, BLACKPINK and aespa lead nominations


MAMA Awards 2026: With just over a month to go until the highly anticipated MAMA Awards 2026, entertainment company CJ ENM, which organises the grand event, has unveiled the nominations. Widely regarded as one of the biggest Asian music award ceremonies, the MAMA Awards 2026 will see today’s chart-topping groups taking on legacy acts, with an impressive lineup of solo stars.

South Korean boy band BIGBANG and its members lead this year’s race with a whopping eight nominations, while BTS follows close behind with seven. Both BIGBANG and BTS have been nominated in the Best Male Group category, while Taeyang of BIGBANG has been nominated in the Best Male Artist category. BLACKPINK and aespa are among the nominees for the MAMA Awards 2026 for Best Female Group.

How to vote for 2026 MAMA Awards

The list of nominees was revealed on Monday, October 12, and the first round of fan voting opened immediately afterwards. According to Soompi, voting in the Fans’ Choice Male and Fans’ Choice Female categories will feature two rounds, with votes cast on Mnet Plus platform accounting for 90 per cent of the total and those polled via X (formerly Twitter) making up the remaining 10 per cent in both rounds.

The first round of voting for the Fans’ Choice categories will end on October 22 at 11.59 pm (KST). The 20 artistes selected from the pre-vote for each of the two categories will then move on to the next round of voting, which will start at 6 pm (KST) on October 28 and end at 11.59 pm on November 18. The organisers have also shared a detailed social media post explaining how to cast votes via X.

When and where to watch MAMA Awards 2026

The MAMA Awards 2026 will take place on November 20 and 21 at the Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan. According to Forbes, this is the third time the stadium is serving as the venue for the iconic award ceremony. The Kyocera Dome Osaka hosted the event in 2022 and 2024 as well.
