Awards season is officially coming to a close as the Oscars are officially underway. Aside from the Grammys, the coveted awards show is the can’t-miss event of the season with tons of iconic red carpet moments (ahem, we’re still thinking of Rihanna’s baby bump at last year’s show, tysm) and stunning performances lined up. Like, yes, I will be tuned in to Ryan Gosling‘s inaugural live performance of “I’m Just Ken.”

Anyway! If you’re not mooching off your parents’ cable plan or trekking to your Letterboxd-famous friend’s apartment for a watch party, you’re probably wondering how to tune in to this year’s show. Here’s how to watch the 2024 Oscars (for free, you’re welcome!).
When are the 2024 Oscars?
Fabulous q! The 96th Academy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, March 10, at 7 p.m. EST.
First up… good ‘ol cable
If you’re tuning in on TV, the Oscars will air on your local ABC affiliate. No TV? No problem. You can watch on ABC’s website and app by logging into your cable provider
Where to stream the 2024 Oscars
Streaming services are also an option for the big night, including Fubo, Hulu with live TV, and YouTube with Live TV. Fubo has a 7-day free trial while YouTube gives you two weeks. The catch? Make sure you cancel before then if you don’t want to get the jump scare of subscription fees.
DirecTV also has a 5-day free trial that you probably haven’t taken advantage of yet, and according to their ~fine print~, you should be able to cancel free of charge before your time is up:
New subscribers only. Cancel before end of 5-day trial or service renews monthly at then-prevailing rate (currently min. $79.99/mo.+ taxes), billed to your payment method on file. Returning customers who disconnected service within previous 12 months are not eligible for free trial. Modify or cancel at any time online or by calling 1-800-531-5000.
