BTS prepare their global comeback for 2026, but Hybe denies part of the leaked rumours

BTS’s 2026 world tour is already in motion. Here’s what is known – and what Hybe has denied.

After years of waiting and solo projects, BTS are getting ready to return to the stage with a 2026 world tour set to be the most ambitious of their career. According to a Bloomberg report, the South Korean group are planning around 65 dates worldwide, including more than 30 shows across North America, marking their official return after the enforced hiatus caused by the pandemic and military service.

The tour, expected to coincide with the release of a new album in March 2026, would represent the first time RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook perform together since 2022. Between 2020 and 2022, BTS only held a dozen shows following the cancellation of their original world tour due to the health crisis.

However, the excitement sparked by the leaked schedule was quickly tempered by Hybe, the parent company of Big Hit Music, which issued a statement: “Details regarding the dates and scope of BTS’s new world tour have not yet been confirmed. The figures mentioned do not reflect the latest number we are considering.”

Although secrecy remains, all signs point to 2026 being a decisive year for the group — not only because of their long-awaited return as a full septet, but also for the beginning of a new creative era following their individual ventures. The ARMY is more than ready.
