Overview

Where to watch

America’s Got Talent is an NBC competition series where performers from many fields audition in front of judges and a live audience. Singers, dancers, comedians, magicians and other acts compete through auditions and later rounds before a season winner is chosen. The show began in 2006 and is produced for US television. Season 21 ended in September 2026. Sixteen-year-old singer Nene Royal won the finale, with magician Geno Ploeger finishing second and the magic group Hundred Fingers placing third. The finale included guest performances with Linkin Park and The Warning. The winner receives a prize announced as $1 million; the payment terms can be more detailed than that headline amount.
