The Golden Globes is the first of the big three award shows after the Oscars and the SAG Awards, and so it'll be our first chance to celebrate all the TV shows and movies of 2023.

Loads of big movies are up for awards including Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer, and TV shows like Fellow Travelers, Succession and The Crown are all ready for awards too. You can find the full Golden Globes 2024 nominee list here.

If you're used to flicking on your TV to watch the Golden Globes, you're going to be in for a surprise, because it's on a new cable channel in the US. Elsewhere, there are streaming options to help you watch. So here's how to watch the Golden Globe 2024 award ceremony on TV or online.

NBC no longer has the rights to air the Golden Globes 2024, and instead it falls to CBS. The ceremony begins at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT on Sunday, January 7.

To watch on cable, you can tune in using the main CBS channel, which many cable packages will include as it's a major news channel. If you don't have access to it, several live TV streaming services include it in their bundles: DirecTV, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV all include it on various plans.

Cord-cutters have cheaper options for watching the Golden Globes than signing up for a cable replacement service though. The awards will also be streamed on the streaming service Paramount Plus for all subscribers on the $11.99-per-month Paramount Plus with Showtime tier. You can use this to stream on any smart device like a phone or tablet.

If you don't need to watch the show live, it'll also be available to watch on demand from Monday, January 8 for all Paramount Plus users, even those on the $5.99-per-month Essential plan. This is the cheapest option although you will have to avoid spoilers online for a few hours.
