You can watch the Oscars on traditional TV, on several live-TV streaming platforms, and (in many countries) on local broadcasters or Disney+–style services.

Main options (U.S. & many regions)

  • Free over-the-air on the ABC channel in the U.S. (with an antenna and local ABC signal).
  • Live stream via ABC’s website or app when you sign in with a participating TV provider.
  • Live TV streaming bundles that carry ABC, such as:
    • Hulu + Live TV
* YouTube TV

* FuboTV

* AT&T TV / DirecTV Stream (name can vary by year).

These services usually let you watch on smart TVs, phones, tablets, and laptops, and they often include free trials around big events.

International viewing

The Academy maintains a country-by-country list of official broadcast and streaming partners (TV channels, streaming apps, and, in many markets, Disney+).

Examples from that list include:

  • UK: ITV1, ITVX, STV, STV Player.
  • Australia: Seven Network and 7Plus.
  • India: Star Movies/Star Movies Select/Colors Infinity and JioHotstar.
  • Many European and Asian countries: local broadcasters plus Disney+ in several territories (e.g., Austria, Finland, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, Taiwan).

If you’re outside the U.S., the most reliable move is:

  1. Check the official Oscars “How to Watch” page for your country.
  1. Look up your main national movie/entertainment channels or local Disney+ announcements for the latest details.

Quick recap

  • In the U.S.: ABC on TV, ABC’s site/app with a TV login, or live-TV streamers like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FuboTV, and similar.
  • Outside the U.S.: use the Oscars’ international list to find your country’s official TV channel and streaming platform, often including Disney+ in newer deals.
