Headline Performers Announced for the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026
The 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards confirmed a lineup led by Sabrina Carpenter, Morgan Wallen, and Doja Cat as headliners. The ceremony will air live on Fox from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Performers were revealed in a press release by iHeartMedia on February 10, 2026, with set times and stage configurations published by the network on the official Fox broadcast page.
Executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic described the show as a single-camera live broadcast with minimal pre-recorded elements. The network emphasized that all performers will sing live or use verified studio backing tracks, with no lip-sync segments planned for the main telecast.
Full Performer List, Set Order, and Song Selections
The complete performer list includes Sabrina Carpenter, Morgan Wallen, Doja Cat, Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, and Tate McRae. Each artist will perform a single song from their current catalog, with set order determined by a mix of chart data, ticket demand, and network scheduling priorities.
Sabrina Carpenter will open the show with a medley of her latest single, while Morgan Wallen closes the broadcast with a country-rock anthem. Benson Boone and Chappell Roan are scheduled in the middle block, following a brief preshow hosted by iHeartRadio personalities via the iHeartRadio official podcast feed.
Broadcast Details, Streaming Options, and Global Reach
The iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026 will stream live on Hulu, FoxNow, and the iHeartRadio app for authenticated users. International audiences can watch the delayed broadcast on iHeartRadio's global partners, including Global in the United Kingdom and Virgin Radio in select European markets according to iHeartMedia's press release.
Ratings projections from iHeartMedia anticipate a 12 percent increase in total viewership compared to the 2025 ceremony, driven by expanded social media integration and real-time voting via the iHeartRadio app. The network will also deploy second-screen interactive features, including live polls and performer trivia, accessible through the Fox Now app on the Fox Now platform.
