KATSEYE will make their Saturday Night Live debut as a musical guest! The show will return for its 52nd season on September 26, 2026, and the “Gnarly” global girl group will perform during the season premiere. The episode will be hosted by New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson, who was named the 2026 NBA Finals MVP. The appearance will also mark KATSEYE’s first performance at Studio 8H.
It remains unclear whether Manon and Sophia, who are currently on hiatus, will join Lara, Megan, Daniela and Yoonchae onstage or if the “Pinky Up” artists will continue performing as a quartet. The (temporary) 4-member group will be followed by Turnstile, who will make their first appearance as a musical guest on October 3, with Dakota Johnson returning as host for her third time.
The season will also feature Shane Gillis as host with Rosalía as musical guest on October 10, marking the singer’s return to Saturday Night Live after her March 2022 appearance. After a two-week break, SNL will return on October 31 for a Halloween episode hosted by Inde Navarrette, with Gracie Abrams appearing as musical guest for the second time. The show airs on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET and streams live on Peacock.
