Winners and nominees

The nominations were announced on August 12, 2021, with Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny leading the nominations with 22, followed by Maluma with 11, J Balvin with 9 and Karol G, Anuel AA and Black Eyed Peas with 8 each. Due to the pause on touring for the last year, the category for Tour of the Year was not presented this year. In addition, the eligibility period was extended from its usual one-year period to 18 months (from February 1, 2020, to August 7, 2021), as the 2020 awards were delayed by the pandemic. Winners are listed first and highlighted in bold.
