Premios Juventud 2026 is shaping up as a celebration of high-profile performances and a tribute to well-known artists whose work beyond the stage has earned them recognition as agents of change. This year's telecast will also bring new song premieres, television debuts, symphonic arrangements, and collaborations that cross genres throughout the night.
With performer lineup updates rolling out throughout August, there's now a clearer picture of what viewers can expect when the live broadcast airs September 3 from the Starlite Auditorium in Marbella, Spain.
The show will feature global headliners including Marc Anthony, Christian Nodal, Farruko, Wisin and Yandel, alongside special showcases from Colombian pop-rock band Morat and singer-songwriter Camilo.
The expanding talent roster follows the full nominee reveal in late July, where Mexican star Carín León led with nine nominations, followed closely by artists like Rauw Alejandro and Karol G.
Alongside the competitive categories, TelevisaUnivision will present its Agente de Cambio honors to Marc Anthony, Yandel, and Spanish pop-rock band La Oreja de Van Gogh for their long-term philanthropic commitments.

Premios Juventud is also expanding its calendar footprint beyond a single evening. The main awards telecast will serve as the finale for PJ Fest, a weeklong, six-day cultural initiative holding events across Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and Marbella starting August 29.
The live telecast will air on September 3 across Univision, UNIMÁS, Galavisión, ViX, and YouTube at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT, with Canal 5 broadcasting in Mexico at 5 p.m.
