The first season of Asia's Got Talent (AGT) started airing on March 12, 2015, across 15 countries in Asia,[1][2] culminating to a grand final airing nine weeks later on May 14, 2015. It featured a grand prize of US$100,000 and an opportunity to perform at the Marina Bay Sands.[3]

The show is hosted by Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez; while the judges are Anggun, David Foster, Melanie C, and Vanness Wu.[2] This show is also co-hosted by Singaporean YouTuber and Power98FM DJ's Dee Kosh for sneak previews, highlights, recaps, and behind the scenes.

The Filipino shadow play group El Gamma Penumbra was declared as the first season winner. News of their win leaked early through social media even before the broadcast of the results,[4][5] causing dismay among netizens due to the spoiler nature of the leak.[5]
