how do i watch the golden globes

You can watch the Golden Globes live on CBS in the US or by streaming through Paramount+ Premium, with some other live TV streaming services also carrying CBS. Start time is the evening of Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT for the main ceremony.

Where to watch in the US

  • CBS (traditional TV):
    • Airs the Golden Globes live nationwide on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
* You can watch via cable/satellite, or over the air with an antenna if CBS is available in your area.
  • Paramount+ Premium (streaming):
    • Streams the ceremony live for Premium subscribers; the cheaper Essential tier only gets the show on demand the next day.
* Both tiers often offer 7‑day free trials, so you may be able to sign up shortly before the show and cancel afterward if you do not want to keep it.
  • Live TV streaming services:
    • Services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and Fubo carry CBS in many markets and are another way to watch the show live.
* Many of these services also offer short free trials around big events, which can be used if you do not have cable.

Red carpet and pre‑show

  • E! red carpet special:
    • E! airs a red carpet pre‑show a couple of hours before the ceremony, featuring arrivals and interviews.
* That coverage is also available via the E! app and often streams on Peacock, plus clips on social media.
  • Other online coverage:
    • Outlets like Variety provide live red carpet coverage on their sites, YouTube, and social platforms before the main show.

If you are outside the US

  • UK example:
    • The ceremony is broadcast on CBS and streams on Paramount+ for US audiences, but some regions do not have an official live broadcaster.
* In the UK, there may be no legal way to watch the full live ceremony, but major outlets such as BBC News provide live text and highlight coverage throughout the night.

Simple step‑by‑step plan

  1. Check if you get CBS via antenna, cable, or a live TV streaming service; if yes, you are set for live viewing.
  1. If not, sign up for a Paramount+ Premium trial (not Essential) before Jan. 11 so you can stream live at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
  1. For red carpet vibes, switch to E! or its app a couple of hours before the ceremony, or watch online coverage from entertainment outlets.
