BTS returned to the stage on March 21, 2026 with BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG, a global livestream from Seoul’s historic Gwanghwamun Square.

The broadcast began at 8 p.m. KST (4 a.m. PT / 7 a.m. ET) and streamed live around the world — meaning fans across different continents watched at very different hours.

BTS live broadcasts have always functioned as global gatherings, with fans setting alarms, taking long lunch breaks, or staying up late so they can experience the moment together. And because the show follows Korea’s prime-time schedule, viewers in the Americas watched early in the morning, while much of Europe, Africa, and Asia tuned in later in the day.

Keep scrolling to find exactly when the global livestream started where you live — and remember, you can rewatch the historic performance as many times as you want on Netflix now. Oh, and a documentary about the making of ARIRANG is coming this week, too.
