America’s Got Talent 2023 FULL Season 18 Episode Schedule
America’s Got Talent returns for Season 18 in 2023, premiering on Tuesday, May 30 on NBC and running through late September. This page outlines the full broadcast schedule as announced by NBC and other reliable listings. Use this guide to track audition episodes, the transition to live shows, and the finale dates so you don’t miss key moments from this season.
Overview: Auditions air first, followed by a series of qualifying rounds and live performance shows. NBC has scheduled audition episodes through early August, with live shows and results beginning later in August. The schedule includes a mix of new episodes, a dedicated clip show, and encore airings on weekends and select Fridays.
Holiday note: Because July 4, 2023 falls on a Tuesday, NBC will not air a new episode that day to accommodate network holiday programming. Viewers should expect the audition run to skip that week and resume the following scheduled dates.
According to the network’s schedule, audition episodes run from May 30 through August 8. Live shows begin in late August, with accompanying results episodes airing the following evenings. The week of August 15 is listed as a special episode, likely a behind-the-scenes or clip compilation labeled “Road to the Lives.” Historically, AGT sometimes airs one or two clip shows during a season, so a curated episode highlighting memorable auditions or judge moments is a reasonable expectation.
NBC also plans encore presentations: expect rebroadcasts on Saturdays and Sundays through June, July and August, and additional encores on Fridays during September. These repeat airings provide extra opportunities to catch standout auditions and judge reactions for viewers who miss the initial broadcasts.
Season 18’s judging panel features returning and popular personalities: Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara. The show is hosted by Terry Crews, who returns to guide contestants through auditions and live stages.
Schedule update: NBC released a revised schedule indicating the season finale will air on Tuesday, September 26, with the live results show following Wednesday, September 27. Please check local listings or the network’s official schedule for any last-minute changes.
