When is BTS Performing at Global Citizen Live?The 2021 Global Citizen Music Festival begins on Saturday, September 25 at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT.

While Global Citizen has not announced the exact set time for BTS’ performance, a rep says that “bigger” artists are likely to appear closer to the end of the show. The Global Citizen Festival is airing in primetime on ABC from 7-10 p.m. ET, meaning BTS will likely appear in the 9-10 p.m. ET time-slot.

Still, the order of performances and event schedule could change at any time, so we recommend tuning in right at 7 p.m. ET just to be safe.
