2024 Tony Awards: How to Watch the Ceremony Live

Broadway’s biggest night is here. The 77th Annual Tony Awards will be held on Sunday, June 16th at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City.

The ceremony will be broadcast on CBS, but cable-naysayers are in luck, as it will also be streamed live on Paramount+ with Showtime. Currently, monthly subscriptions are 50% off, costing just $5 a month.

The actual ceremony will begin at 8pm ET, and will be hosted by West Side Story star Ariana DeBose for the third year in a row. DeBose’s hosting duties will likely be less stressful than last year’s Tony Awards, which went unscripted in solidarity with the WGA strike and ended up opening the show with her own dance sequence, but it quickly became a talking point.

“Hell’s Kitchen,” a musical about Alicia Keys’ teenage years in New York City, and “Stereophonic,” the story of a rock group on the brink of collapse, dominated this year’s nominations. The two shows, one focusing on a pop titan discovering his talent before he breaks through and the other spotlighting the darker, drug-fueled side of the music industry, received a total of 13 nominations. They were closely followed by “The Outsiders,” a musical adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s coming-of-age novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s film of the same name, which also received 12 nominations. “Hell’s Kitchen” and “The Outsiders” are competing for best musical, while “Stereophonic” is up for best play.

Cable TV users can watch the ceremony on a number of live TV streaming platforms that carry local CBS affiliates, including Hulu + Live TV, Fubo TV, Sling TV and DirecTV. Both DirecTV and Fubo TV offer free trials and are great options for people who want to watch special events but don’t want to commit to a monthly subscription.
