How to watch Golden Globes 2025 online — live stream options, start time, TV channels

The great and good of Hollywood will be out in force at the the Beverly Hilton hotel this weekend for the 82nd Golden Globes ceremony, with the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig and Selena Gomez among this year's nominees. Read on to find out how to watch a Golden Globes 2025 live stream from anywhere with a VPN.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association's annual celebration of the best of big and small screen, the Golden Globes is thought of as the beginning of the busy awards season and a precursor to what might happen at the all-important Oscars.

On the film side, daring Netflix musical "Emilia Pérez" leads the way with a staggering 10 nominations, followed by Adrien Brody-led "The Brutalist" (7) and Vatican-based "Conclave" (6). Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are both in the mix for their performances in "Wicked", while the Best Actress in a Drama category intriguingly pits Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet and Pamela Anderson against one another.

"The Bear" (5), "Only Murders in the Building" and "Shōgun" (both 4) have most nominations in TV, with Hollywood heavyweights like Jake Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Cate Blanchett and Jodie Foster all in with a chance of awards. Popular performers Viola Davis and Ted Danson will respectively receive the honorary Cecil B. DeMille Award and Carol Burnett Award.

Comedian Nikki Glaser (nominated for Best Stand-Up Comedy Performance) is on hosting duties this year, making history as the first solo female presenter of the awards show.

The 2025 awards circuit starts here, so keep reading to discover where to watch Golden Globes 2025 live streams no matter where in the world you are — and potentially for free!

How to watch Golden Globes 2025 from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the Golden Globes on your usual subscription?

You can still watch the action live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Using a VPN is incredibly simple, just follow these steps.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from Australia and want to view your usual Australian service, you'd select Australia from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to a service that's showing the Golden Globes 2025 and watch just like you would at home.

How to watch Golden Globes 2025 online in the U.S.

CBS has the rights to show live coverage from the 82nd Golden Globes. So if you already get CBS on your cable plan or TV antenna, then tune in from 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

If you're a cord cutter, Fubo is a good cable-alternative option, with plans starting from $79.99/month for 200+ channels. Plus, if you haven't used it before, you can take advantage of the 7-day free Fubo trial.

Sunday's events will also be shown on CBS's Paramount Plus streaming service. You'll need the Paramount Plus with Showtime plan to watch live, which costs $12.99/month after its 7-day free Paramount Plus trial. Or, if you don't mind watching on catch up the day after, you can opt for the more affordable Essential tier for $7.99/month (again with a free one-week trial).

If you're currently outside of the U.S. but have one of these subscriptions, you can still watch the Golden Globes 2025 live stream on your usual service by using a VPN.

How to watch Golden Globes 2025 in Canada

Canadians can watch the Golden Globes 2025 live on Citytv, which is available from many cable providers. If you do already have access, you can also stream the ceremony online on your web browser or the Citytv app.

Can I watch Golden Globes 2025 in the U.K?

It's bad news for Brits, as (once again) it doesn't look like any U.K. channels are broadcasting the Golden Globes 2025 — not even on Paramount Plus.

If you're traveling to the U.K. and wish to watch your domestic stream of the 2025 Golden Globes, then you can use a VPN to do exactly that and avoid geo-restrictions.

How to watch Golden Globes 2025 in Australia
