Good to know
- Specials. KCON and MAMA weeks, year-end shows and anniversary episodes air without a chart, so no trophy is awarded; the week pages mark those slots.
- Holidays. Lunar New Year and Chuseok usually take a week out of every show's calendar.
- The Show. Off air from November 2025, back since 2 June 2026 on SBS LIFE (formerly SBS FiL) with a new producer and voting on the BIGC app.
- Pre-recordings. Several stages are recorded the same morning; the winner is announced live at the end of the broadcast.
- On this site. Results are checked every 30 minutes on broadcast evenings and appear on the hub and the week page within hours of each broadcast.
Quick answers
- When does The Show air?
- Tuesdays at 18:00 KST (09:00 UTC) on SBS LIFE. Next broadcast: September 8, 2026. Pre-votes and live votes run on the BIGC app and website since the June 2026 relaunch (Star Planet 2021–2025, Starplay before that).
- When does Show Champion air?
- Wednesdays at 18:00 KST (09:00 UTC) on MBC M. Next broadcast: September 9, 2026. Idol Champ app, Friday to Monday; the chart tracks Monday to Sunday.
- When does M Countdown air?
- Thursdays at 18:00 KST (09:00 UTC) on Mnet. Next broadcast: September 10, 2026. Mnet Plus app: a global pre-vote during the week and a live vote between the first-place nominees during the broadcast.
- When does Music Bank air?
- Fridays at 17:15 KST (08:15 UTC) on KBS2. Next broadcast: September 11, 2026. Global pre-vote on the Mubeat app from Monday 11:00 to Wednesday 11:00 KST; there is no live vote.
- When does Show! Music Core air?
- Saturdays at 15:15 KST (06:15 UTC) on MBC. Next broadcast: September 12, 2026. Pre-vote on Mubeat and, since May 2026, MUNIVERSE (roughly Tuesday to Thursday); live vote for the three nominees during the show via app and text message.

- Sundays at 15:20 KST (06:20 UTC) on SBS. Next broadcast: September 6, 2026. Pre-vote Monday to Saturday (LiNC; earlier Starpass); live vote for the nominees during the broadcast via the Higher app.
- Do the shows air every week?
- Almost. Each show skips a few weeks a year for holidays (Lunar New Year, Chuseok), year-end specials and festival episodes such as KCON or MAMA week, when no trophy is awarded. The Show was off air from November 2025 to June 2026 and returned on SBS LIFE.
- Are the shows live?
- Mostly live in Seoul with pre-recorded stages mixed in; Music Core and Inkigayo air in the afternoon, the weekday shows at 18:00 KST. Start times shift by up to an hour around specials and sports broadcasts.
- When do results appear on this site?
- Within the hour: on broadcast evenings the winner lists are checked every 30 minutes (15:00 to midnight KST) and once more the next morning, so a Friday Music Bank trophy is on the week page the same evening.
