The BET Awards are an annual American awards show honoring Black achievement in music, film, television and sports, staged each summer in Los Angeles. The 2027 edition has not been officially dated yet, but the recent pattern points to late June at the Peacock Theater downtown, the show's home in recent years. This guide covers what is known so far, what to expect from the ceremony, how tickets work, and the wider BET Awards Weekend of parties across the city - all trackable on Mood.
When and where are the BET Awards 2027?
BET has not announced an official date, host or nominees for the 2027 ceremony. The awards traditionally land on the last Sunday of June, with nominations revealed in May and the host confirmed a few weeks out. For reference, the 2026 edition ran on June 28 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
The Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE, formerly the Microsoft Theater, has hosted the show in recent years and is the venue attached to the 2027 listing. In Mood's data, the 2027 BET Awards are listed at the Peacock Theater for June 25, 2027 - a date worth treating as provisional until BET confirms it officially.
What to expect from the ceremony
The 2026 edition sets the marker for what the 2027 show will look like. Druski hosted at the Peacock Theater, the youngest person to take the role; Cardi B led the field with six nominations; Teyana Taylor and Clipse were among the night's biggest winners; Lauryn Hill received the Living Legend honor; and an all-star tribute celebrated D'Angelo's catalogue. The format holds year to year: live performances, the Icon and Living Legend honors, and the main categories across hip-hop, R&B and pop.
The specifics for 2027 - who hosts, who performs, who is nominated - will not be known until closer to the date, so anyone planning early is planning around the weekend rather than the running order.
How to get BET Awards 2027 tickets
Official tickets are sold through the Peacock Theater box office and Ticketmaster once on-sale dates are set, while premium and hospitality packages tend to surface through authorized resellers earlier. Mood is a discovery platform rather than the show's official seller, so it points you to the listing and the provider. You can find the 2027 BET Awards packages on Mood and follow the page as official on-sale details land, with final pricing set by the ticket provider.
BET Awards Weekend in Los Angeles
The ceremony is one night; BET Awards Weekend is the bigger draw for anyone actually in the city. In Mood's data, around a dozen BET Awards listings are already mapped across Los Angeles - the ceremony itself, the 2027 packages, and roughly ten official after-parties, day parties and pre-parties clustered over the final weekend of June.
The Hollywood Roosevelt anchors the after-hours end. The official BET Awards afterparty at the Hollywood Roosevelt runs sets from Honey Dijon, D-Nice and CHASE B, with a Tropicana Pool day party over the same weekend. Across town the calendar runs from a 2000s hip-hop and R&B night at Dragonfly Hollywood to an Afrobeats takeover at The Tribe Entertainment Center and a gospel day party at Los Globos.
The spread is the point: hip-hop, R&B, Afrobeats, amapiano and gospel, across pool decks, theatres and clubs over four days. Because the parties sit on different promoters' pages and sell out at different speeds, the full run is hard to track from any single feed. The complete list sits on the Los Angeles hip-hop events page.
