Announced through his social media accounts on January 24, 2022, a few days before he began his tour of El Último Tour del Mundo, the stadium tour visited fourteen countries in the Americas. The tour consisted of two legs, the first in the United States and the second in Latin America. Following the announcement of the dates, many shows were quickly sold out and more dates were added.

The World's Hottest Tour was the third highest-grossing tour of 2022, with earnings of over $314 million dollars for the year's 43 shows and around 1.9 million ticket sales. It thus became the highest-grossing tour in history by a Latin American act at the time.{{Cite magazine |last=Frankenberg |first=Eric |date=2022-10-04 |title=Bad Bunny Enters the Record Books With World's Hottest Tour |url=https://www.billboard.com/pro/bad-bunny-worlds-hottest-tour-sets-records/ |access-date=2022-10-04 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}

Ticketmaster México controversy

{{Further|Taylor Swift–Ticketmaster controversy#Further controversy}}

Prior to the first show in Mexico City, on December 9, 2022, what appeared to be a massive overselling of tickets through Ticketmaster caused many fans to be denied entry the day of the concert. Ticketmaster México claimed that an "unprecedented" number of counterfeit tickets were sold, which led to online overcrowding of the server and a subsequent crash of the operating system; consequentially, this fiasco delayed entrance to the venue for legitimate ticket-holders. The Office of the Federal Prosecutor for the Consumer (PROFECO) is seeking 100% compensation, plus a 20% added compensation for those affected.{{Cite magazine |last=Cano |first=Natalia |date=2022-12-12 |title=Mexico Will Fine Ticketmaster Millions Over Bad Bunny Ticket Sales Fiasco |url=https://www.billboard.com/pro/mexico-fine-ticketmaster-bad-bunny-fake-ticket-sales/ |access-date=2022-12-13 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}
