K‑pop powerhouses BLACKPINK have just sent BLINKs into a frenzy with the official announcement of their long‑awaited third mini album, Deadline. The announcement came alongside the release of pre‑order links for fans worldwide, scheduled for official release on February 27, 2026.

Deadline marks BLACKPINK’s first major group comeback following years of successful solo projects and one of the year’s most talked‑about global tours.

The album Deadline shares its name with the tour, which has taken the four‑member group — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — across continents since mid‑2025. With final tour dates approaching later this month, the timing of the release feels like both a celebration and a culmination of this intense era for the group.

Multiple pre‑order editions are now available, giving fans several collectible options:

BLACK/PINK Version — a classic edition highlighting BLACKPINK’s iconic identity.

Silver Version — includes photobooks, CDs, posters, and special photocards.

Gray Version — another stylish collectible set with unique visual elements.

Mood Light Version — a standout package featuring an hourglass mood lamp, USB‑C cable, and bonus memorabilia alongside the album itself.

Pre‑orders opened on January 15, 2026 and will run through February 26, giving Blinks ample time to secure their preferred version ahead of the album’s release.

The announcement was accompanied by teaser visuals across BLACKPINK’s official social platforms, igniting excitement as fans prepare for the next chapter in the group’s evolving career.

Deadline not only continues the legacy that began with albums like The Album and Born Pink but also reflects the group’s growth through solo ventures and global domination on and off stage. With Deadline now officially open for pre‑order, BLINKs worldwide are gearing up for a big February filled with music, visuals, and another milestone in BLACKPINK’s journey.
