BTS is reportedly preparing for the biggest world tour of their career, with 65 shows scheduled worldwide and more than 30 set to take place across North America. The news comes alongside reports that the global supergroup will release a new full-length album in March 2026, their first as a complete unit since 2020’s Map of the Soul: 7.

Following their military service, RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are ready to return to global stages with a scale that matches their record-breaking success. According to industry insiders, the group has been working in Los Angeles for the past two months, collaborating with some of the world’s top producers and composers on a sound that bridges their early energy with a more mature creative direction.
If realized, the 65-stop tour would mark BTS’s most ambitious schedule to date, far surpassing their previous Love Yourself tour (2018–2019), which covered 62 shows across 14 countries and grossed over $200 million. With venues expected to include major stadiums in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, analysts predict the upcoming tour could generate over $400 million in ticket sales, potentially becoming one of the highest-grossing music tours in history.
While BIGHIT MUSIC has yet to confirm the exact tour details, the label told TV Chosun that “the schedule and scale of the new world tour have not been decided yet.” Still, anticipation is rising as fans flood social media with speculation and hashtags like #BTSTOUR2026 and #JUNGKOOKXCALVINKLEIN trending alongside the news.
BTS is reportedly planning their biggest tour ever with about 65 dates, according to Bloomberg.
Their new album is reportedly set to be released at the end of March.

The group’s last joint concert, BTS Yet to Come in Busan (October 2022), drew an estimated 50 million global viewers via live broadcast and streaming platforms, solidifying their reputation as a worldwide cultural force. Their most recent live tour date in Las Vegas in April 2022 generated roughly 25.8 billion KRW (around $18 million USD) across four nights.
If confirmed, the 2026 world tour will mark BTS’s first full-scale live return since the pandemic canceled their Map of the Soul tour in 2020. With renewed momentum and a new album on the horizon, BTS looks set to define the next chapter of global pop performance.
