Why this matters: Puerto Rican stars Wisin, Ivy Queen, Jay Wheeler, Jowell & Randy and RaiNao will share the Miami stage, giving island artists a high-profile platform at a major Latin music telecast.

Puerto Rican artists Wisin and Ivy Queen are among the latest additions to the lineup for the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards, to be held on Thursday, October 22 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami. Hosted by Carmen Villalobos and Javier Poza, the ceremony will air live at 8 p.m. ET / 7C on Telemundo and Peacock, with coverage also on Universo, the Telemundo app, and Telemundo Internacional across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The show will feature 16 musical performances and, for the first time, fans will choose the winner of one award, the new Artista de los Fans category. The five finalists with the most nominations this year, Peso Pluma, Tito Double P, Fuerza Regida, Karol G and Prince Royce, compete for that prize; fans can vote at Telemundo.com/vota, up to 20 votes daily, until roughly 7 p.m. ET on October 22.

Other Puerto Rican artists in the celebrity lineup include Jay Wheeler, Jowell & Randy, and RaiNao, alongside Baby Rasta & Gringo, Becky G, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Juan Luis Guerra, Gente de Zona and others. The awards are the closing event of Billboard Latin Music Week, held in Miami from October 19 to 22, 2026.
