How You Can Watch Oprah Present at the 2020 Emmys—Without Cable

From Oprah Magazine


In a ceremonial first, this year's 72nd Annual Emmy Awards is taking place virtually. That's right, on Sunday, September 20, host Jimmy Kimmel will be MC-ing the night from the comfort of his own home. And that means that the various celebs that are both nominated and presenting (including Oprah herself) will be participating digitally as well.

We're a little unsure about how the Emmys ceremony will shake out, but we're looking forward to watching, especially with shows like Schitt's Creek, Dead to Me, and Tiger King getting love. And HBO's Watchmen leads nominations with a grand total of 26.

So how exactly can you watch Sunday's ceremony—especially without cable? We've got it all below.

The awards begin at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Sunday, Sept. 20. The Emmys will air on ABC, which you can watch live on your local channel. (You can find your station here). You can also stream the show on ABC.com or through your cable provider's online streaming service. Just make sure you have your login information on hand.

No worries! You can watch the Emmys without cable through Hulu Live TV or YouTube TV. Both have monthly charges ($54.99 per month and $64.99 per month, respectively), but they also have free trials you can make use of before you take the step to actually pay anything.

Is there a red carpet this year?

Surprisingly yes, there will still be red carpet events for the 2020 Emmys even though the awards will be virtual. Just how will they work? We're not so sure, but both E! and Entertainment Weekly are hosting events.

Giuliana Rancic and Vivica A. Fox are co-hosting E!'s show, Live From The Red Carpet: The 2020 Emmy Awards, which begins at 6:00pm ET/ 3:00pm PT. They'll also begin streaming from their Twitter account @enews at 7:00pm ET/ 4:00pm PT. PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly Red Carpet Live: At Home! will stream at 7-8 p.m. ET/4-5 p.m on EW.com, People.com, and the Twitter and Facebook accounts for both outlets.
