How to watch the 2025 Tony Awards
The 2025 Tony Awards will be broadcast live simultaneously on CBS and Paramount+ with Showtime. If you're a cable subscriber, you can simply switch the channel over to CBS at 8 p.m. ET on June 8, and you're good to go. Not near a TV? You can also use your cable login at CBS.com to watch live. If you don't have cable, you can only tune into the live broadcast through Paramount+ with Showtime(not the Essential plan) or a live TV cord-cutting service (more on that below). If you're on the Paramount+ Essential plan, the broadcast will be available to stream the following day.
Can I watch the Tony Awards for free?
CBS is free over the air in the U.S., which means that, even without cable, you can watch the show live using an antenna. Don't have an antenna? No worries — you can tune into the Tony Awards via Paramount+ or a live TV cord-cutting service like YouTube TV or FuboTV. You could also ask a cable-subscribing friend or family member for their login information and use it to sign in with a TV provider on CBS.com, but sometimes that's more trouble than it's worth.

If you opt for an annual plan instead, however, you'll save 23% and pay just $119.99. That equals about $9.99 per month. You'll be able to watch the Tony Awards live and plenty more throughout the year.

Like Amazon Prime, subscribing comes with many perks beyond free shipping. Walmart+ members also get Paramount+ Essential included with their membership for free. You won't be able to watch the Tony Awards live, but you can watch the broadcast immediately after it airs on your Essential account. New subscribers can score a 30-day trial to kick things off.

Best cable alternative: YouTube TV free trial

YouTube TV is our top pick for its free trial and two-month discount. If you sign up around the time of the Tonys, you'll be able to watch the broadcast live and for free during your trial. If you don't want to be charged, be sure to cancel before your trial period is up. Otherwise, it'll cost you $59.99 per month for your first two months — that's $46 in savings.
