The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards take place tonight, September 11. Here's how to stream the awards show live.
Honoring the best music videos of the year, the MTV Video Music Awards is shaping up to be one of the most exciting nights in television this fall. Originally slated for September 10, the 2024 MTV VMAs will air tonight, Wednesday, September 11. (The date was changed so as not to compete with yesterday's Presidential Debate).
The immensely talented Megan Thee Stallion is hosting this year's MTV VMAs. We hope to see Taylor Swift grace the stage — potentially multiple times — as she tops the VMA nominations. Current "it girl" Chappell Roan is set to perform at the awards show, as well as pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter.
We can't wait to see what's in store for the major music event. Since the MTV Video Music Awards air on MTV, one of the easiest ways to watch the star-studded affair without cable is with a subscription to FuboTV — right now, eligible customers can take advantage of the free week-long trial to watch the MTV VMAs at no cost.

Taylor Swift leads the VMA nominations for the second year in a row with noms in 10 different categories. Post Malone came close with nine nominations, while Eminem, Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter followed with an impressive six each. Other top contenders include Megan Thee Stallion and SZA who earned five nominations each, and LISA, Olivia Rodrigo and Teddy Swims with four apiece.
While many awards shows recruit critics to determine the ultimate winners, MTV puts the power in the hands of the fans. That means the public gets to decide who is the best of the best by voting online for their favorite artists.
