September 2026 opens with BLACKPINK's name attached to almost every K-pop release calendar in circulation — but not with a group record. Three of the four members are shipping solo material inside a nine-day window, and the month's biggest group-level headline belongs to LE SSERAFIM.
Is BLACKPINK Releasing New Music in September 2026?
No. There is no confirmed BLACKPINK group album, single or tour date in September 2026. The group's most recent full-team release was the 3rd mini album DEADLINE on February 27, 2026 , and the matching DEADLINE world tour wrapped on January 26, 2026 at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong . Aggregator calendars listing "BLACKPINK" for September are pointing at member activity, not the four-piece.
What is actually scheduled is a cluster of three solo releases in nine days:
- JENNIE — Fallen Angel, released August 28, 2026
- LISA — pre-release single "SaWaDiKa" on September 3, 2026, ahead of the EP PRESS PLAY on October 23
- JISOO — single "CLICK" on September 4, 2026 at 1 p.m. KST, announced by BLISSOO on August 25
YG Entertainment has not ruled out further group output in 2026 — BLACKPINK debuted in August 2016 , making this its 10th anniversary year — but no September group announcement has been issued. Treat any claim of a group comeback this month as unconfirmed until YG or the members' agencies say otherwise.
LISA, JISOO and JENNIE's September Solo Schedule
Three BLACKPINK members have solo material landing inside a nine-day window. JENNIE released Fallen Angel on August 28, 2026 , LISA follows with the pre-release single "SaWaDiKa" on September 3, and JISOO issues her second single album "CLICK" on September 4 at 1 p.m. KST . All three are individual label projects, not YG group activity.
"SaWaDiKa" is the lead track from LISA's EP PRESS PLAY, scheduled for October 23, 2026 and reported at six tracks, with only the pre-release single named on the tracklist so far . It is the follow-up to Alter Ego, her debut solo album from February 2025. The title is a phonetic play on the Thai greeting "sawatdee ka," and the announcement frames the EP as "LISA at her most personal, honoring her roots in Thailand and her rise as a global icon" . The rollout ran through a "Hello Sawadika" campaign site rendering "Hello" in 11 languages, Bangkok billboards, and an August 28 TikTok snippet filmed in a boxing ring. Two non-music dates sit alongside it: her documentary Always Lalisa premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival (September 10–20, 2026), and her first residency, VIVA LA LISA, plays the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on November 13, 14, 27 and 28, 2026 .
JISOO's "CLICK" arrives a day later at 1 p.m. KST (12 a.m. EDT), announced by BLISSOO on August 25, 2026 and positioned as a pre-release for her first full-length album, with physical Photobook, NFC and Vinyl versions distributed through BLISSOO in Korea and YG PLUS , alongside Warner Records, which has handled her international releases since her January 2025 label deal . It is her first solo release in roughly 11 months, after the October 2025 Zayn Malik collaboration "Eyes Closed" , and about 19 months after her debut EP Amortage (February 2025), which topped the iTunes Top Albums chart in 39 regions . JISOO left YG Entertainment when her contract expired in 2023 and founded BLISSOO in 2024. The first teaser video and countdown page went live August 24 at 6 p.m. KST , and BLISSOO's formal announcement the next day paired the September 4 date with a heart symbol set against a shadowed pink background ; genre, concept and any features remain unrevealed.
| Artist | Title | Release date | Release type |
|---|---|---|---|
| JENNIE | Fallen Angel | August 28, 2026 | Solo release |
| LISA | SaWaDiKa | September 3, 2026 | Pre-release single (from EP PRESS PLAY, Oct 23) |
| JISOO | CLICK | September 4, 2026, 1 p.m. KST | 2nd single album / pre-release for first full album |
LE SSERAFIM's Made My Night: Who, What, When, Where
LE SSERAFIM's Made My Night is the group's 2nd single album, announced by SOURCE MUSIC at midnight on August 28, 2026 via Weverse and the group's official channels, with the title track "YOU JUST MADE MY NIGHT" . It is the one full group release anchoring September 2026 among the acts named in this month's comeback headlines, and all five members are confirmed on it: Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Heo Yunjin, Kazuha and Hong Eunchae .
The timeline is split across two drops on the same day. The music video arrives September 11, 2026 at 12 a.m. KST — September 10 at 11 a.m. ET — and the single album itself follows at 1 p.m. KST that day, with an international/other-regions timestamp listed for October 9, 2026 at 1 p.m. KST . Pre-orders opened August 28 at 11 a.m. KST, and the promo staging runs through a highlight medley on September 7 and an MV teaser on September 8; the teasers out so far are "YOU JUST MADE MY NIGHT" and "THE MMN SHOW." Physical versions reported include a Chemical Night edition plus five Compact variants.
"A single that captures a night made special by a shared chemistry," — SOURCE MUSIC, describing Made My Night (source: Soompi)
The turnaround is quick by the group's own standards — roughly four months after PUREFLOW pt.1 Flow in May 2026 . It also lands two weeks after the group took three trophies at the 2026 K World Dream Awards on August 27 at KINTEX in Ilsan: Best Artist, Best Visual Content and the Artist Award . September 11 is a shared date — PENTAGON's 10th anniversary single "겁쟁이" (Coward) is scheduled for the same day .
One item to set aside: an Overwatch collaboration tie-in, echoing 2023's "Perfect Night," has circulated in secondary coverage, but it traces back to fan speculation about a D.Va-like pose in a teaser and has not been confirmed by SOURCE MUSIC. Until the agency says otherwise, treat it as unverified rather than part of the rollout .
Why This Release Cluster Matters
The September 2026 calendar matters because it compresses an unusual number of releases into four weeks: aggregator trackers count roughly 14 to 22 confirmed comebacks, debuts and repackages between September 1 and September 28 , which places it among the densest release months of the year. For fans, that density has a practical consequence — chart positions, streaming attention and physical pre-order windows all overlap, and single days such as September 4, September 7 and September 11 carry three or more releases at once .
Two patterns sit underneath the volume. The first is turnaround speed. LE SSERAFIM's Made My Night arrives roughly four months after PUREFLOW pt.1 Flow in May 2026, and lands weeks after the group took three prizes — Best Artist, Best Visual Content and the Artist Award — at the 2026 K World Dream Awards held August 27 at KINTEX in Ilsan . A single album on that cycle is a lighter-format release designed to keep an active group visible between larger projects.
The second is what the BLACKPINK solo window does and does not tell you. Three members releasing inside roughly one week — JENNIE's Fallen Angel on August 28, LISA's "SaWaDiKa" on September 3, JISOO's "CLICK" on September 4 — reflects individual infrastructure rather than a group timetable . LISA's schedule already extends to the VIVA LA LISA residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on November 13, 14, 27 and 28 , and JISOO works through BLISSOO, the company she founded in 2024 after her YG contract expired in 2023 . Separate labels, separate calendars — and no announced date for the group's next move.
How to Follow the Rollouts: Teasers, Pre-Orders and Streaming
Tracking these releases comes down to three separate label channels, each running its own teaser and pre-order clock. LE SSERAFIM's Made My Night pre-orders opened August 28, 2026 at 11 a.m. KST , with a highlight medley scheduled for September 7 and a music video teaser for September 8 ahead of the September 11 release . Weverse and SOURCE MUSIC's official channels carry those drops first.
JISOO's "CLICK" campaign started earlier, with the first teaser posted August 24, 2026 at 6 p.m. KST . The single album ships in Photobook, NFC and Vinyl versions, distributed through BLISSOO in Korea and YG PLUS , alongside Warner Records handling her releases internationally . Genre, concept and any featured artists remain unrevealed as of publication.
LISA's rollout has run through a "Hello Sawadika" campaign site, Bangkok billboards and an August 28 TikTok snippet filmed in a boxing ring, with "SaWaDiKa" arriving September 3 ahead of the six-track EP PRESS PLAY on October 23 . Her documentary Always Lalisa premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival, which runs September 10-20, 2026 .
One item to filter out: an Overwatch collaboration tie-in circulating for LE SSERAFIM traces to fan speculation about a pose in a teaser, not to any SOURCE MUSIC announcement — treat it as unconfirmed. The same caution applies to late-September dates generally, several of which remain subject to change on release calendars . The practical takeaway: mark September 3, 4 and 11 as the fixed points, follow each artist's own label channel rather than aggregate roundups, and expect nothing from BLACKPINK as a group until YG says otherwise.

Will BLACKPINK make a group comeback later in 2026?
Unconfirmed. No BLACKPINK group album or date has been announced beyond DEADLINE, which arrived February 27, 2026 . YG Entertainment has not ruled out further group output, and 2026 marks the group's 10th anniversary — BLACKPINK debuted in August 2016 — but anniversary context is not an announcement. Until YG or the members' individual labels confirm a date, treat any reported group comeback for the rest of 2026 as speculation and follow official label channels rather than aggregate calendars .
