For most big award shows, the “red carpet” coverage is usually on the E! channel plus the network that’s airing that specific event, but it depends on which red carpet you mean.

Quick Scoop: General Answer

  • For many Hollywood award shows (Oscars, Emmys, etc.), pre-show arrivals are often on:
    • E! (under the brand “E! Live From the Red Carpet”).
* The main broadcaster for that award show (for example, CBS for the Grammys, ABC for the Oscars, etc.), which typically runs its own arrivals pre-show.
  • Online, you also see:
    • Official livestreams on YouTube or the event’s website (for example, the Recording Academy streams “GRAMMY Live From The Red Carpet” on its own site and social channels).
* Streaming services that carry those channels (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Peacock, Paramount+, etc.).

Why the Answer Changes

“Red carpet” isn’t a single show or channel; it’s a type of pre-show that different networks and streamers produce for each event. That’s why you’ll see red carpets for:

  • The Grammys on CBS plus Recording Academy streams.
  • The Oscars on the Oscars broadcaster plus E! and various online guides.

What You Should Do Right Now

Since you didn’t specify which event or your country/provider, here’s a simple way to lock it in:

  1. Check your TV guide or on‑screen grid for “Red Carpet” or “[Event Name] Red Carpet” in the hour or two before the main show.
  2. Look for E! and the channel airing the main ceremony (CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.) — those are the most common.
  1. If you stream, open your live-TV app (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream) and search “red carpet” or “[event] red carpet.”
  1. For music/Grammys specifically, check live.GRAMMY.com or the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel for the official red carpet live show.

TL;DR: It’s usually on E! plus the main awards network (CBS/ABC/NBC/etc.), and there’s often an official YouTube/website livestream for that event’s red carpet.
