K-pop sensation BTS is set to make a highly anticipated return to the stage with a special live performance, streaming exclusively on Netflix. Titled BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG, the event marks the group’s first full reunion performance in years, following the completion of mandatory military service by its members.
The livestream will originate from Seoul’s iconic Gwanghwamun Square and is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. KST on March 21, 2026. This timing aligns closely with the release of the group’s fifth studio album, ARIRANG, which drops on March 20, creating a packed week of new music and live action for fans worldwide.
For the global ARMY fandom, this broadcast represents a shared experience, with millions expected to tune in simultaneously despite varying time zones. Viewers in the Americas will need to rise early—such as 4 a.m. PT / 7 a.m. ET in the United States (Los Angeles and New York, respectively)—while those in parts of Europe and Asia can watch during more convenient afternoon or evening hours. For instance, it airs at 7 p.m. local time in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines; 4:30 p.m. IST in New Delhi, India; 12 p.m. CET in cities like Paris, Berlin, and Rome; and 10 p.m. AEDT in Sydney, Australia.

Netflix has emphasized that the event is accessible to all subscribers without any extra cost. Fans simply need to log in to their account at the designated start time. To ensure a smooth viewing experience, the platform recommends updating the Netflix app and enabling notifications.
The performance promises a mix of classic hits and fresh tracks from the new album, directed in a way that captures the energy of BTS—RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook—reuniting as a unit on a historic landmark stage.
This exclusive Netflix livestream underscores the platform’s growing role in delivering major music events to international audiences. A related documentary, BTS: The Return, chronicling the album’s creation and the group’s comeback journey, is slated to premiere on Netflix shortly after on March 27, 2026.
