Morgan Wallen Launches His Own SiriusXM Channel Ahead of the 2026 Tour

Morgan Wallen is adding a new layer to his 2026 run. The RIAA’s highest-certified country artist of all time now has his own year-round SiriusXM channel, joining a short list of genre heavyweights who have been given that platform. The Still The Problem Tour kicks off just three days after the channel goes live and that timing is no accident.

SiriusXM and Wallen announced Morgan Wallen Radio on March 16, 2026. The channel debuts on April 7 on Channel 64 and on the SiriusXM app. It goes live at 5:00 p.m. ET, triggered by a recorded intimate concert at Nashville’s The Pinnacle on April 2.

What Morgan Wallen Radio Actually Is

The channel is curated and presented by Wallen himself. It features his catalog, hand-picked songs from his musical influences, exclusive commentary, and behind the scenes stories about his music and his life on the road.

That last part is the most interesting piece. Wallen’s personal music taste runs wider than his country output suggests. He has talked openly about hip-hop and rap influences shaping his songwriting. The channel gives fans a direct window into that.

Wallen put it plainly in the announcement: “Listeners can expect to hear a lot of things that I listen to on a day-to-day basis, which is probably a lot different than what most people expect. I will be personally curating the music so they will get a glimpse into my world.”

For fans planning to attend his stadium shows this year, the channel also functions as pre-show preparation. The 2026 Still The Problem Tour setlist draws from a deep catalog, and spending time with the channel before a show is one of the better ways to walk in prepared.

The Three Shows Inside the Channel

Morgan Wallen Radio is not just a playlist. It features three recurring programs hosted by Wallen: Still The Problem Tour Segments, 808 to 865, and One Track At A Time.

The 808 to 865 title says a lot. 808 is the Roland drum machine that became the backbone of hip-hop production. 865 is the area code for Knoxville and East Tennessee. Wallen is threading both worlds together in one show title.

The tour segments program matters especially for fans following the Minneapolis opener on April 10 at U.S. Bank Stadium. Rehearsal stories and band drop-ins are likely to surface in the days just before that first show.

The Nashville Launch Show at The Pinnacle

Before the channel goes live on April 7, Wallen performs at The Pinnacle in Nashville on April 2. The venue holds around 4,500 people. That makes it one of the most intimate rooms he will play this decade, given that his current tour runs through NFL stadiums and major college football venues.

The performance will be recorded and used to kick-start the channel launch on April 7 at 5:00 p.m. ET. SiriusXM will broadcast it as the opening salvo of Morgan Wallen Radio, following its tradition of placing major stadium artists in small rooms for subscriber-exclusive experiences.

Tickets to the April 2 show are not for sale publicly. SiriusXM subscribers and Nashville area fans can enter a sweepstakes at siriusxm.com for a chance to win a pair of passes. Fans outside Nashville can enter separately for a VIP trip package.

Previous artists SiriusXM has hosted in this format include Chris Stapleton, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and Metallica. The company treats these as flagship content. Wallen’s show will likely be referenced on the channel well into the Still The Problem Tour run.

How to Listen Free Window and Subscription Details

Starting April 7, Morgan Wallen Radio is available on Channel 64 in all SiriusXM-equipped car radios and on the SiriusXM app. It is available for free in all SiriusXM-equipped vehicles from April 7 through May 6, giving non-subscribers a chance to experience the channel.

After May 6, a SiriusXM subscription is required. The app is available for iOS and Android. Existing subscribers can add Channel 64 as a preset starting April 7.

The free window runs through the first three tour stops: Minneapolis (April 10 to 11), Tuscaloosa (April 18), and into the Las Vegas weekend. That is a useful framing for fans who want to experience the channel’s tour content before committing to a subscription.

Where It Fits in Wallen’s 2026 Picture

Wallen has already dominated country radio with hits like “20 Cigarettes” and “I Got Better.” His 20th No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart arrived in February 2026, making him the 13th act to reach that milestone since the chart launched in January 1990.

A dedicated 24/7 channel puts him in the company of Kenny Chesney, who leads Country Airplay with 33 No. 1s and has had No Shoes Radio on SiriusXM for years. Wallen now joins Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, and Willie Nelson as country artists with their own year round SiriusXM channels.

For context on where Wallen stands in country music right now, he is the RIAA’s highest-certified country artist of all time with 265.5 million certified units. His album I’m The Problem spent 13 non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200 and generated six No. 1 country singles. A SiriusXM channel is not a vanity move at this stage of his career. It is infrastructure.

The Still The Problem Tour runs 23 dates across 12 cities, opening April 10 and closing August 1 in Philadelphia. Support acts including Ella Langley, Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, and Thomas Rhett rotate across dates. The channel’s tour segment programming will presumably give listeners a consistent thread between shows all summer.
