How to Watch the VMAs Live Stream with MTV

MTV owns the rights to air the VMAs, but you have plenty of streaming options to choose from and catch the entire show (plus pre-show antics).

You can go straight to MTV.com for the VMAs or you can stream the VMAs to your phone, tablet, or even television streaming device with the MTV app. The app is available for iOS, Android, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, and more.

Either way, you'll need to provide your streaming provider, cable or satellite credentials to gain access to a live stream of current MTV programming.

Other Ways to Live Stream the VMAs

There are a number of streaming services that offer MTV in their programming lineups. For all, you just need to sign into your account on whatever device you're using and find MTV at the designated times.

The following services offering MTV all offer free trials of some sort so if you don't already have a streaming service, you can try one out as you watch. Learn more about:
