Your Global Guide to Watching the 2026 Golden Globe Awards — From the Gulf to Streaming Options Worldwide

The 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards air live on Sunday, January 11, 2026, celebrating excellence in film, television and podcasts from the past year. Hosted by Nikki Glaser, the ceremony streams and broadcasts across multiple platforms so fans worldwide can tune in.

Gulf Region Viewing Options

If you’re in the Gulf countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman), here’s how you can watch:

  • Satellite & Cable TV:
    Many regional pay‑TV providers carry CBS International or similar entertainment channels that broadcast major U.S. award shows live, check your local listings for CBS feed availability.
  • International Streaming Platforms:
    While Paramount+ streams the awards live in the U.S. (Premium tier), access outside the U.S. can vary by territory. Some Gulf viewers may be able to access the livestream through a global Paramount+ subscription where available, or through region‑specific deals with local streaming partners.
  • VPN + U.S. Streaming:
    For viewers in regions where CBS or Paramount+ isn’t available, using a VPN to access U.S. streaming services (e.g., Paramount+ Premium or live TV streaming services that carry CBS) is a common workaround — though check local laws and platform terms before doing so.

United States

  • Live TV: The awards air on CBS at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on January 11.
  • Streaming: U.S. viewers can stream via Paramount+, with live access for Premium subscribers; Essential subscribers can watch on‑demand after the live broadcast.
  • Digital Red Carpet: Expect pre‑show coverage (red carpet and interviews) on platforms like Variety’s YouTube channel and other partners starting a few hours before the main event.

Other International Territories

  • Local Broadcasters & OTT:
    In many countries, the Golden Globes are broadcast through local TV networks or streaming services that have rights to CBS content. Times will vary depending on time zones, often falling early Monday morning in the Gulf due to the live U.S. broadcast schedule.
  • Social Media Clips & Highlights:
    Official Golden Globes social channels and entertainment news outlets will share real‑time highlights, clips, and winner announcements throughout the night — perfect if you can’t watch the full broadcast live.

Don’t Miss the Golden Eve Special

Ahead of the awards, a new primetime special called Golden Eve honors lifetime achievement winners like Helen Mirren and Sarah Jessica Parker. It airs on Thursday, January 8, 2026 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on CBS and streams on Paramount+ in the U.S., offering fans a celebratory kickoff to the main event.
