The stage is set for Latin music’s biggest celebration. The finalists for the highly anticipated 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards will be revealed on Wednesday (Sept. 10) at 9:45 a.m. ET through Billboard and Telemundo.com.

The network’s daytime shows Hoy Día, En Casa con Telemundo, La Mesa Caliente, Al Rojo Vivo and its newscasts will present interviews, artist reactions and more special coverage around the announcement of the finalists.

Following the announcement, Billboard will host an exclusive pre-celebration of Latin Music Week on Billboard’s TikTok at 1 p.m. ET. Featuring special guest artists, Billboard will dive into the finalist lineup, talk chart-topping moments and celebrate Latin music’s biggest night.

In addition to the competitive categories such as Top Latin Album of the Year, Hot Latin Song of the Year, Artist of the Year, Tour of the Year and Songwriter of the Year, the evening will also honor select artists with special Billboard legacy awards. Details on these honors will be revealed soon.

The finalists and winners are determined by “chart performance from Sept. 14, 2024, through Sept. 6, 2025, based on key fan interactions with music, including streaming, album and digital song sales, radio airplay and touring, tracked by Billboard and its data partner, Luminate,” states the press release.
