With just a few days to go until the 78th annual Tony Awards—set for June 8 at Radio City Music Hall—°ëµºÌåÓ� has all the details on how to watch this year's ceremony. Whether catching the live CBS broadcast on TV or streaming it live, what follows is everything you need to be ready for the big night.
The Tony Awards Pre-Show
For the fifth year in a row, Tony night is being split into two broadcasts: a pre-show celebration of the season and the main ceremony.
The 90-minute pre-show will be hosted by Renée Elise Goldsberry and 2025 Tony Award nominee Darren Criss, but organizers have been scant with details beyond that. Theatre fans will just have to wait for June 8 to find out! If it's like last year, we can expect some award categories to be given out during the pre-show. You'll want to keep °ëµºÌåÓý.com up on your phone or computer to stay up to date with the latest in everything Tony Awards June 8, including anything notable that happens during commercial breaks.
The pre-show will begin at 6:40 PM ET, streaming live on Pluto TV. If you're not familiar with that streamer, it's one of a handful of completely free streaming services, so everyone should be good to go there. You may have to create an account if you are streaming it on a TV, but that's free, too. The Tony Awards pre-show will air on the streamer's . You can download the Pluto TV app onto your devices or you can stream Act One from your desktop computer, so you really have no excuse to not tune in.
The 78th Annual Tony Awards
The Tony Awards ceremony proper will follow the Act One pre-show, hosted by Wicked star and Tony winner Cynthia Erivo. We can expect performances from all the currently running Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical nominees, lots of Tony Awards handed out, and more.
As for how to watch, the three-hour awards ceremony will air live on CBS and stream simultaneously on Paramount+ (for subscribers of Paramount+ with Showtime only) from 8 PM ET. The broadcast will also be available to for all membership tiers following the live stream. But if you want to stream it live, you might want to upgrade your Paramount+ subscription.
Watching Without Cable
We see you, cord cutters! If you don't have cable, never fear. You have lots of options for tuning into this year's Tony Awards broadcast live. The best way is to stream it using Paramount+ (scroll up for all that info).
But you can also use any streaming cable service that carries a local CBS affiliate—like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV, and a host of others. These won't offer on-demand access to the ceremony after the live broadcast, but they will let you stream the Tonys live while they're airing. Some offer cloud DVR services that would allow you to time shift the ceremony, too.
Outside the U.S.
If you're not within the United States, you may not have access to the above platforms, but there are international partners broadcasting the Tony Awards around the world.
Latin America, Central, and South America
