The 2026 BET Awards aired live on Sunday, June 28 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, and coverage indicating the show had already “come to an end” appeared on June 29.

Quick Scoop

  • Start time: 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
  • Location: Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
  • End time: not listed in the sources I found, but the post-show reporting on June 29 confirms the ceremony had already finished by then.

What that means

BET Awards telecasts usually run a few hours, so a rough expectation would be late evening ET, but I can’t verify the exact minute it ended from the available reporting.

Most useful answer

If you’re asking about the 2026 show specifically, it ended sometime after the 8 p.m. start on June 28 and before the June 29 winner-list coverage went live.
