It's Hollywood's most glamorous night (or late afternoon, for those on the west coast), and this year, there's another option for those who want to tune into the Oscars at home. In addition to airing on a major network, the Academy Awards will also streamed live—meaning you won't have to track down an antenna or find a way to access local channels if you'd like to watch the night of many stars and acceptance speeches.
Here's how to stream the Oscars for the first time ever in 2025.
On Wednesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the 2025 Academy Awards broadcast will be a little different. While the show will still air on ABC as usual, it will also stream live on Hulu for the first time. Of course, you need a Hulu subscription in order take advantage of this development, but at least it's another way to catch the hours-long ceremony.
And that's not the only first for the 2025 Oscars: Emmy Award-winning television host, writer, producer and comedian Conan O'Brien will also be making his hosting debut, ABC announced in November. "America demanded it, and now it's happening: Taco Bell's new Cheesy Chalupa Supreme. In other news, I'm hosting the Oscars," O'Brien said in a statement.
The 2025 Academy Awards will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 2, 2025. Like this year's awards, the show will begin at the earlier time of 7 p.m. ET instead of 8 p.m. ET, as it had in previous years. The official live red carpet show begins at 6:30 p.m. ET.
It's also possible to watch the Oscars from outside the U.S. The show is broadcast in more than 200 territories worldwide. Check your international local listings to find out how to tune in.
