You can watch the 2026 Golden Globes on CBS or stream them on Paramount+ (the live broadcast is only included with the Premium / “with Showtime” tier; Essential gets it on demand the next day).

Main ways to watch

  • CBS (live TV)
    • Airs live on the CBS network at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026.
* You can watch via regular cable/satellite, many live TV streaming bundles (like those that carry CBS), or an over‑the‑air antenna if CBS is available in your area.
  • Paramount+ streaming
    • Streams live for subscribers who have Paramount+ with Showtime / Premium, at the same time as the CBS broadcast.
* Paramount+ Essential (the cheaper, ad‑supported plan) does **not** include the live stream, but offers the show on demand the day after it airs.

If you want to watch for free

  • Use a free trial of Paramount+ Premium (or Paramount+ with Showtime, depending on how it’s branded in your region) timed for the night of the show.
  • If you have a TV with an antenna, you may be able to get CBS over the air at no extra cost, depending on reception where you live.

In short, think: CBS for live on regular TV; Paramount+ Premium/with Showtime if you’re streaming.
