Saturday Night Live returns tonight after its winter hiatus, and the spotlight is firmly on A$AP Rocky. The rapper takes the Studio 8H stage just one day after releasing his long-awaited fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb, making the episode a strong start to the show’s 2026 run.
Actor and musician Finn Wolfhard hosts the night, stepping into the role for his SNL debut shortly after the conclusion of Stranger Things. While Wolfhard’s appearance brings its own buzz, the episode’s musical momentum belongs to Rocky, who is appearing as a musical guest for the first time. He previously made a brief cameo in a 2018 sketch during Donald Glover’s hosting stint, but this marks his official performance debut on the show.
For viewers wondering how to watch A$AP Rocky on SNL tonight, the process is simple. Saturday Night Live airs live on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET and 10:30 p.m. CT, with a simultaneous livestream available on Peacock. For those who miss the live broadcast, the full episode, including Rocky’s performances and any sketch appearances, becomes available to stream on Peacock shortly after airing. Clips from the show will also be shared on SNL’s official YouTube channel.
Rocky’s appearance arrives at a pivotal moment in his career. Don’t Be Dumb debuted on January 16 and quickly delivered his biggest Spotify opening day to date, pulling in roughly 35 million streams. Several tracks entered the Daily Global Spotify Chart, led by “Stole Ya Flow,” a song that immediately drew attention for its pointed lyrics aimed at Drake. Fans tuning in tonight expect Rocky to bring that energy to SNL, with two songs from the new album.
