Kicking off its 51st season with a bang, Bad Bunny has been tapped to host the season premiere on October 4, while Doja Cat will take the SNL stage as the night’s musical guest.

The announcement comes on the heels of another huge moment for Bunny – his upcoming headlining performance at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Now, the Grammy-winning artist will step into a different spotlight, bringing his unique brand of Reggaeton and Latin Trap heat to the SNL stage.

Joining him will be Cat, who is poised to dominate the Billboard 200 charts with her recently unveiled, September 26-released album ‘Vie.’

Set to give her beloved fans (affectionately called #Kittens) a glimpse of what to expect aboard her forthcoming world tour, all eyes will definitely be on Doja.
