The Judge Cuts of Season 13 of America's Got Talent will air through July 17, 2018 to August 7, 2018. A total of 72 acts performed. 28 acts, along with 5 Golden Buzzer acts from the auditions, proceeded to the Quarterfinals, and 44 acts were rejected.

Process[]

The Judge Cuts round returned for its fourth year.

Serving as the middle round between the auditions and the live shows, 72 acts were pulled from the 100+ acts that were accepted by the judges in the Auditions. The Judge Cuts took place over four days; every day, 18 acts performed with only 7 moving on to the Quarterfinals.

Joining the main judging panel were four guest judges while each regular judge was given a normal buzzer, each guest had only a Golden Buzzer he or she could press to send an act to the live shows without further deliberation as one of the 7 acts.
