ATEEZ Confirmed for The Fact Music Awards as TMA 2026 Lineup Opens With Six Acts

ATEEZ have been named in the first performer announcement for the 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS, placing the group in the opening TMA 2026 Lineup. The ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2026, at Busan Asiad Main Stadium in Busan, with six teams confirmed in the initial slate.¹

The first lineup includes IDID, ATEEZ, ALLDAY PROJECT, CORTIS, KiiiKiii and tripleS. The list was reported from the TMA organizing committee announcement and has also been posted through official TMA channels.²³

ATEEZ Named in First The Fact Music Awards Lineup

The Fact reported on July 14, 2026, that the TMA organizing committee had disclosed the first six teams for the 2026 awards ceremony. The report identified ATEEZ as part of that first announcement and confirmed the event date and Busan Asiad Main Stadium as the venue.⁴

Other Korean entertainment outlets carried the same core details. OSEN reported that IDID, ATEEZ, ALLDAY PROJECT, CORTIS, KiiiKiii and tripleS will appear at the 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS, with the ceremony set for September 19 in Busan.⁵ Xports News also reported the six-team first lineup and noted that further information will be released sequentially through the official homepage.³

Coverage of the announcement included recent ATEEZ album context. The Fact reported that ATEEZ’s 14th mini album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and recorded about 1.89 million first-week sales.⁴ Top Star News reported that the group’s mini album “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5,” released on June 26, 2026, topped the Billboard 200 and marked ATEEZ’s third No. 1 on that chart.⁶

The available source material does not confirm ATEEZ’s performance order, setlist, stage time, award categories or any special collaboration stage for the 2026 ceremony. It confirms the group’s inclusion in the first lineup and the basic event schedule.

Key Facts for the 2026 Ceremony

The official THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS homepage lists the 2026 event date and venue and describes the ceremony as returning to a domestic stage for its ninth edition. The same homepage states that the 2024 event was held in Japan and the 2025 event in Macau.¹

The official TMA X account also posted the first lineup announcement, giving the date as September 19, 2026, and the venue as Busan Asiad Main Stadium. The post included ATEEZ in the announcement context, supporting the current status of the lineup as an official first-stage disclosure.²

For readers tracking the TMA 2026 Lineup, the key point is that the July 14 announcement is not presented in the source material as the full final performer list. It is the first confirmed lineup, with additional details expected through official channels.

What Is Still Pending

The first lineup gives the 2026 ceremony an initial performer framework, but several event details have not been provided in the available source material. Ticketing dates, broadcast plans, red carpet timing, presenter lists, award categories, performance sequence and any artist-specific stage information are not confirmed in the provided records.

That distinction matters for ATEEZ-related searches because the current confirmation is limited to participation in the first lineup. Reports do not state whether ATEEZ will perform a particular song, receive a specific award, appear in a special stage, or participate in additional ceremony segments.

The official homepage remains the named channel for future updates, including any later lineup additions or event information.³ Until those updates are posted, the confirmed facts remain the first six acts, the September 19 schedule and the Busan venue.
