Harry Styles is set to return to “Saturday Night Live” as both host and musical guest on March 14, marking his second time pulling double duty on the NBC sketch comedy series. 

The Grammy-winning pop star previously hosted in November 2019 and has performed as a musical guest four times, including with One Direction and once as a solo artist.

Styles’ SNL appearance will coincide with the release of his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., which drops on March 6. Fans can expect performances from the album during the live broadcast, which airs at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC. “SNL” is executive produced by Lorne Michaels through his Broadway Video banner and has been a launching pad for major musical and comedic acts for decades.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The sketch series recently returned from a brief hiatus on February 28 with host Connor Storrie, known for Heated Rivalry, and musical guest Mumford & Sons. The following week, Ryan Gosling will host with Gorillaz performing. The current 51st season of SNL launched in October 2025 with Bad Bunny as the premiere host and included a cast shake-up, with departures including Ego Nwodim, Heidi Gardner, Devon Walker, Emil Wakim, Michael Longfellow, and Bowen Yang. New cast members Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Kam Patterson, and Veronika Slowikowska joined the show, while Ben Marshall was promoted to the main cast.

Styles’ upcoming episode promises to blend comedy and music, highlighting his popularity as a chart-topping musician and SNL favorite. Fans can anticipate both sketches and live performances, further cementing his dual talent in entertainment.
