You can stream the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) through several options:

• MTV website and Pluto TV (free in the U.S.) : The VMAs were available to watch live for free on the official MTV website and the MTV channel on Pluto TV. If you are outside the U.S., you can use a VPN set to a U.S. server to access these streams

• Live TV streaming services : Platforms like Philo, DirecTV Stream, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV carry MTV and offered live streaming of the VMAs. Many of these services provide free trials, allowing you to watch the event without a cable subscription

• Paramount+ : The VMAs were streamed live on Paramount+ and available on-demand the day after the event. Paramount+ offers a free trial period, after which it requires a subscription

• YouTube : Official performances from the 2023 VMAs are available on MTV’s YouTube channel, though this is typically after the live event

In summary, the best ways to stream the 2023 MTV VMAs live were via MTV’s own platforms (website, Pluto TV), live TV streaming services that include MTV, and Paramount+. Using a VPN can help access U.S.-only streams if you are outside the country
