Music fans will be able to watch the Video Music Awards (VMAs) on two channels this year. The awards used to air strictly on MTV, but in 2025, they aired on CBS as well. The VMAs will air in simulcast again for 2026.
The VMAs honor the year’s best artists and music videos with performances, awards, and more. It gives away big awards like the Video Vanguard Award, which honors one artist’s career with a big performance. Winners are given moon person awards.

The VMAs will air live for two hours on both coasts on Sunday, September 27, at 8/7c. For the first time since 2017, the awards will be held in Los Angeles. The awards have been held in New York and New Jersey since then.
