MTV Video Music Awards Live Stream 2023: How to Watch the Annual VMAs for Free from Anywhere

General

The live stream for the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) is about to begin. The setting is the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. There will be many big names, star-studded performances, and possibly some controversial moments.

The show starts at 8pm ET/5pm ET on MTV and is free to watch from anywhere with a VPN.

The VMAs are one of the largest awards ceremonies on the music calendar. Often referred to as the "Super Bowl of youth" due to its size and influence, the biggest names in the music industry always make an appearance, and controversy tends to follow them wherever they go. [Madonna and Britney Spears kiss, Lady Gaga's meat dress, Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Comeford storming the stage and climbing a piece of scenery, etc.] The show always some headlines. Madonna crawled around the stage in her wedding dress while singing "Like a Virgin," Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose's feud escalated (Courtney Love made fun of Rose, Dave Grohl went to the microphone and said "Hi Axl." repeatedly), as well as the early days of Howard Stern as a superhero named "Fartman." Hi Bro. Definitely not. But funny. Definitely.

This year promises its own fireworks. Cardi B and Meghan Sea Stallion team up for a performance titled "Unforgettable," and Lil Wayne returns to the VMA stage for the first time in over a decade. But nothing compared to P. Diddy. The rapper will take the VMA stage for the first time in 20 years and will receive the Global Icon Award during the ceremony.

All of this will be officiated by Nicki Minaj, who will host the event for the second year in a row.The VMAs will be held at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. See how to watch the 2023 MTV VMAs live stream from anywhere via VPN See.

Watch for free on MTV's website or on the MTV YouTube channel.

Away from home. Don't worry; you can watch via VPN. Here's how to do it. Our favorite VPN service right now is ExpressVPN, but there are others on our list of best VPN services.

VPNs make it look as if you are surfing the web from your home country, not the country you are in. That means you can access the streaming services you've already paid for from anywhere on the planet. Or at least, anywhere you have an Internet connection.

VPNs are perfectly legal, inexpensive, and easy to use. We tested the best VPN services and our current favorite is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works with a variety of devices, and has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The VPN is incredibly easy to use.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we have mentioned, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. select the location you want to connect to with the VPN app. For example, if you are in the U.K. and want to see U.S. services, select U.S. from the list.

3. sit back and enjoy the action, go to Sling or another website and watch the MTV VMAs live.

In the U.S., you can watch the MTV VMAs on Paramount Plus. There are many other things to enjoy on this service, and it is currently running a half-price promotion, making it more affordable than ever.

If you already use one of these services but are not in the US right now, you can use a VPN such as ExpressVPN to watch the MTV VMA live stream. And if for some reason it doesn't work, ExpressVPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Canadians can watch the MTV VMAs on CTV (Canadian Television Network); owned by Bell Media, which owns MTV, this music channel can be streamed for free using the CTV app.

If you are currently away from Canada, you can still watch the MTV VMA live stream using a high-quality VPN such as ExpressVPN.

Oddly enough, there is no indication in MTV's schedule to suggest that this year's MTV Video Music Awards will air on any of MTV's channels.

This means relying on Paramount Plus and a 7-day free trial. All other plans start at $9.99/month.

The 2023 MTV VMA awards ceremony will begin on Wednesday, September 13 at 10:00 a.m. (AEST) in Australia.

Because the live broadcast will take place at midnight, the MTV channel in the UK will show the entire awards show starting with the pre-show until 9 pm on Wednesday, September 13.

MTV is a premium channel and not on Freeview, so you will need access to a TV package such as Sky (or Now Entertainment Membership), BT or Virgin.

If you are a night owl and want to watch the awards ceremony as it airs, it appears that Paramount Plus allows you to watch the ceremony live from 1am on Wednesday morning. Subscriptions start at £6.99 per month, but if you haven't already, a 7-day Paramount Plus free trial is available.
