Among the many prestigious award ceremonies held annually, the MTV Video Music Awards, commonly known as the VMAs, stand out for dedicating an entire night to celebrate music in the most extravagant way. Just as the Oscars are iconic in the world of cinema and more, the MTV VMAs have become a celebrated showcase for musical artistry, giving musicians the recognition they deserve. 

As global artists gear up to prove their superiority, here is a complete guide to the MTV VMAs 2024, including all the essential details from time slots to streaming information.

The 2024 MTV VMAs will take place at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on September 11. The event is set to celebrate the top music videos, artists, and songs released between June 22, 2023, and June 20, 2024. Initially slated for September 10, the ceremony was rescheduled a day later to avoid clashing with the presidential debates between the Republican Party’s Donald Trump and the Democratic Party’s Kamala Harris.

The ceremony will officially begin at 5.00 p.m. PT/8:00 p.m. ET, though the red carpet arrivals will likely start several hours earlier. To watch the show live on September 11, viewers can tune in to MTV at the given hour. For those without cable, the event can be streamed by subscribing or signing up for a free trial with streaming platforms like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Sling TV, Philo, DirecTV Stream, or Fubo. 1iota has also put out a guide for how viewers can attend the MTV VMAs for free.
