It may only be a week into 2026, which can only mean one thing: Awards season is alive and well! First up is the Golden Globes, which honors the greatest in movies and TV and (surprisingly) provides the pop culture junkies in your life with a ton of celebrity tea. Because who could forget Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift’s Great Gossip Debacle of the 2024 Golden Globes or how Zendaya fully hard-launched her engagement to Tom Holland with a solo red carpet appearance in 2025?
This year is sure to bring on more, as the nominations are stacked with A-listers, from Timothée Chalamet to Ariana Grande. That doesn’t even cover all the snubs and surprises either. Anywho, it’s a show you don’t want to miss! Which is why we’ve got you covered with how to watch the 2026 Golden Globes for free.
When are the 2026 Golden Globes?
Great Q! The 2026 Golden Globes are set to take place at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Sunday, January 11, at 8 p.m. ET. Comedian and actor Nikki Glaser will be taking the reins as the show’s host for the second year in a row.

Now, let’s get to the good part. The Golden Globes are hosted by CBS, so if you’ve got cable (read: still mooching off your parents’ cable login), you’re good to go!
Otherwise, the show will be streaming on Paramount+ Premium. You can sign up for a 7-day free trial, but the key here is the premium add-on, because, according to the Globes, “Paramount+ Essential subscribers will not have the option to stream live but will have access to on-demand the day after the special airs.” And who could live with that kind of FOMO? Certainly not us.
