How to watch the 2026 Golden Globe Awards live without cable, including free options

The Golden Globe Awards, celebrating achievements in film and television, arrives shortly after the Critics Choice Awards. The 83rd Golden Globes, held in Beverly Hills, California, honor excellence in both film and television. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) previously organized the awards but faced controversy and was dissolved due to issues. The Golden Globes are now owned by Penske Media Eldridge, sparking criticism regarding conflicts of interest. The show will be hosted by Nikki Glaser, with many presenters like George Clooney and Julia Roberts. The awards ceremony will take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the venue since 1961. The event features "Golden Week" with special presentations before the main ceremony, including awards for Helen Mirren and Sarah Jessica Parker. "One Battle After Another" leads the film nominations, while HBO's "White Lotus" dominates in television. The pre-show will be available on Variety's platforms and E! Network. The main ceremony airs on CBS and Paramount+ on the evening of January 11th. Viewers need Paramount+ Premium to watch live and can also access CBS through other streaming services or an antenna.
