ARMY rejoice — SiriusXM is launching BTS Radio to celebrate the return of the world’s biggest boy group.
The pop-up channel, launching on Friday (March 20), will feature an “exclusive and immersive musical experience,” according to a release. The station — serving as a 24/7 hub for listening to classic hits, solo music and the group’s new release — will be available on channel 79 through March 26 and on the SiriusXM app through April 1.
Fans will get the chance to hear directly from the members of BTS — consisting of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — about the creative process of Arirang, the group’s highly anticipated new album. ARMY, the name of the group’s highly dedicated fanbase, can also send in BTS-related messages and stories for the chance to be featured on the channel.
“BTS has completely transformed the global music landscape, and we are thrilled to be part of their landmark return to the world stage with the launch of BTS Radio,” SiriusXM’s president and chief content officer Scott Greenstein said in a release.
“The channel is giving fans unparalleled access to the band with a one-of-a-kind listening experience and exclusive content only found on our platform,” he continued.
Arirang marks the group’s first seven-member release in several years, as the members of BTS each completed their mandatory military service over the last few years. BTS is ringing in the latest chapter of the group with two Netflix projects.
Last month, Netflix announced their special, BTS The Comeback Live | Arirang, a livestream performance of the seven-member group, which will stream on the platform on March 21. The livestream, the first global performance of the album, is being broadcast live from Gwanghwamun, a well-known Seoul landmark offering views of the city’s iconic Gyeongbokgung palace.
Following the live stream, Netflix will premiere BTS: The Return, an “intimate documentary film chronicling the making of the band’s new album,” according to a release. It’ll premiere a week after the live stream on March 27 on the streaming platform.
The seven-member K-pop supergroup is also preparing to embark on their first full-scale, all-group tour in years. The tour, spanning 2026 and 2027, will hit Asia, North America, Europe, Latin America and Australia, making it one of the most expansive tours of the group’s career.
The tour will kick off with three nights in Goyang, South Korea, before heading to Tokyo for two nights. BTS is set to then head to the U.S. for a stop in Tampa. The group then zigzags around the world with U.S. stops sprinkled throughout. The group is anticipated to make 82 stops.
