KCon LA 2026 takes place Aug. 14–16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena, bringing three days of K-pop , K-beauty, and K-food to downtown Los Angeles. While the daytime convention takes place at the Festival Grounds in the Los Angeles Convention Center, the M Countdown shows are available to livestream at home for those who can’t make the concerts.

Starting at 8:00 p.m. PST, NCT 127 will perform as the headliner on Friday, Aug. 14, followed by Zerobaseone (ZB1) on Saturday, and Tomorrow x Together on Sunday. Each headliner is set to receive an extended hour-long performance, joining a wide-ranging lineup spanning K-pop , J-pop , hip-hop, and indie music. South Korean music television channel Mnet will host the live performances from the Crypto.com Arena on the M Countdown program. For fans watching at home, you can watch the livestream of the shows on Mnet Plus using a VPN .

Viewers at home can watch KCon LA 2026 on Mnet Plus. Mnet Plus offers premium fan benefits, artist Plus Chat subscriptions, and flexible monthly plans, with Premium available for $3.99 per month through the app.

Because Mnet is a South Korean television network, U.S. viewers need a VPN to connect through a supported region and access the channel. A VPN routes your internet connection through a server in another location, changing the IP address websites see. This allows you to watch shows that don’t air in your region. VPNs also protect your data from online hackers.

Prices for monthly plans start at $14.99 and auto-renew monthly, or you can pay for a yearly plan upfront for only $4.99 per month . New ExpressVPN users are eligible to get a 30-day money-back guarantee. For ExpressVPN, install the official app on Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android, or use its browser extension. Chrome, Firefox, and Edge are supported, with extension modes varying by setup.

If you do not already have a VPN , ExpressVPN and NordVPN are two widely used choices for connecting through servers in other regions. Pricing by plan is similar, and both companies offer monthly, yearly, and two-year subscriptions.

The confirmed M Countdown concert start time is 8:00 p.m. PST each night, though the official livestream listing notes that the performance schedule may change.
