Jessica Sanchez is the most recent winner of America’s Got Talent, taking the title in the season 20 finale on September 24, 2025.

Because it’s now January 2026 and there is no regularly airing AGT season at this time of year, there was no new finale “last night” to declare a fresh winner. When people currently ask “who won America’s Got Talent last night,” they’re almost always referring to the latest televised finale, which is still Jessica Sanchez’s victory in season 20.

So in practical terms, the answer to “who won America’s Got Talent last night?” right now is: the most recent champion is Jessica Sanchez, crowned in the season 20 finale that aired on September 24, 2025.

Mini recap: Jessica’s win

  • Jessica Sanchez is a singer who first auditioned for AGT as a child in the show’s very first season and returned years later for season 20.
  • She won the 1 million dollar prize and the season 20 title during the NBC finale on September 24, 2025.
  • In the finale she performed a duet-style pop ballad set, including a rendition of “Die With A Smile,” which helped secure the win over freestyle rapper Chris Turner (runner‑up) and singer Jourdan Blue (third place).

If you were referring to a different special, rerun, or international version that aired “last night” in your local schedule, there is no reliable public record labeling that specific broadcast as a brand‑new finale winner announcement, so I can only confidently point you to Jessica Sanchez as the latest confirmed AGT winner overall.
