The finals start tonight, with the grand finale airing tomorrow night. For all the information on the show schedule, the finalists, the celebrity performers, what time the shows air and how to watch the episodes online, read on below.

AGT 2019 CHANNEL: As always, the show airs on the NBC network.
AGT FINALISTS 2019: The contestants in the finals for season 14 are Benicio Bryant, Detroit Youth Choir, Emanne Beasha, Kodi Lee, Light Balance Kids, Ndlovu Youth Choir, Ryan Niemiller, Tyler Butler-Figueroa, V. Unbeatable, and Voices of Service.
“AMERICA’S GOT TALENT” 2019 FINALE PERFORMERS: According to NBC, the celebrities on board for the finale performances include Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning actress, singer and entertainment icon Cher; singer/songwriter Billy Ray Cyrus; Grammy Award-winning rapper and songwriter Macklemore; three-time Grammy Award nominee and singer, songwriter, actress and activist Leona Lewis; singer and songwriter Ozuna; global superstar, producer and DJ Kygo; pianist Lang Lang; and Chris Jericho, the AEW champion and lead singer of the rock band Fozzy. There will also be a surprise performer. Plus, judge Julianne Hough will perform the World Premiere of her new original song. Violinist and season 13 AGT finalist Brian King Joseph will return to the show for a performance and Lilly Singh, the host of A Little Late With Lilly Singh is set to appear.
AGT NEWS: With season 14 of the show coming to an end, one might wonder about the future of the show, or about its spinoff show AGT: The Champions. Fortunately, for Champions fans, the spinoff has been renewed for a season 2, which should air this winter. And, TV Series Finale has reported that a season 15 has been granted, so there is no cancellation to report. It should premiere in Summer 2020, as the show generally runs through the summer months.
The format of the show will also stay the same, as Simon Cowell told USA Today that when it comes to the format of the live shows, “It’s pretty much what we’ve always had. It’s worked. Every year, the golden buzzers are becoming more and more impactful. That idea came from the ‘Got Talent’ (version) in Germany. When we saw it, we decided to put that in all the shows. It’s become like a trademark, like the ‘X’ in The X Factor.” Why mess with what works, right?
