Where can I watch the 2024 Tony Awards?

Although airing live on CBS, those without basic cable can still live stream the 77th Tony Awards on Sunday with Fubo, DirecTV Stream or Paramount+ with Showtime.

All three streaming services offer free trials for new subscribers who can watch the awards show for free before committing to a paid subscription.

What is Fubo and DirecTV Stream?

Fubo and DirecTV Stream are both set up like any other streaming service, except it offers a variety of live TV channels rather than exclusively on-demand content. So like regular cable, without the hassle.

Fubo considers itself a sports-focused streaming service, but overall, its standard package comes with over 100 live channels for $74.99 a month after its free trial. These channels include ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, TLC, MTV and much more.

Fubo also comes with a variety of shows and movies users can watch on-demand along with the option to record your favorite TV shows.

DirecTV Stream is similar to FuboTV in that it offers many of the same channels and features. At $84.98 a month, its base package comes with a little over 75 live TV channels.

What is Paramount+ with Showtime?

The Paramount+ with Showtime bundle costs $11.99 per month and has replaced Paramount+’s premium ad-free plan, which was $9.99 after its free trial.

Although not a live streaming service, Paramount+ with Showtime allows users to live stream certain content as it premieres on regular television including the 77th Tony Awards.

What are the Tony Awards?

The Antoinette Perry “Tony” Awards, which was founded by the American Theatre Wing in 1947, are bestowed annually on theatre professionals for distinguished achievement on Broadway. The Tony is one of the most coveted awards in the entertainment industry and the annual telecast – the night America watches Broadway – is considered one of the most prestigious programs on television. The Tony Awards have aired on CBS since 1978.
