The winner of America’s Got Talent (AGT) is announced during the live (or live-style) season finale, which typically airs in late September, at the end of the voting period for that season.

Quick Scoop

• AGT runs through summer and usually wraps up in the second half of September.

• The winner is revealed in the second part of the finale, after all final performances and viewer voting are complete.

• Recent seasons (like Season 20 in 2025) have announced the winner on a Wednesday night primetime broadcast on NBC and Peacock.

• For the latest season, you’ll see the exact winner announcement date listed on TV guides, NBC schedules, or AGT’s official site and socials as the “season finale” or “finale results” episode.

Some fans on forums have discussed that parts of the finale may be pre-taped, which can lead to spoilers leaking before the televised announcement, but the official winner reveal for viewers is still during that finale broadcast.

TL;DR: The winner of AGT is announced on the night of the season finale results show, usually a primetime episode in late September on NBC/Peacock.
