How to Watch the VMAs Live Stream on MTV
MTV owns the rights to air the VMAs, but you have plenty of streaming options to choose from and catch the entire show (plus pre-show antics).
You can go straight to MTV.com for the VMAs, or you can stream the VMAs to your phone, tablet, or even television streaming device with the MTV app. The app is available for iOS, Android, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, and more.
Either way, you’ll need to provide your streaming provider, cable, or satellite credentials to gain access to a live stream of current MTV programming.
Alternatively, you can watch the ceremony for free on TheTVApp or Pluto TV. Another option is to stream it on Paramount+ with a subscription.
Other Ways to Live Stream the VMAs
