The Academy Awards will undergo one of the most dramatic changes in their 97-year history when the Oscars move from traditional broadcast television to streaming exclusively on YouTube starting in 2029. The decision marks a watershed moment for Hollywood, signalling how decisively the industry has shifted away from linear TV and towards digital-first platforms.

ABC, which has been the long-time home of the Oscars, will continue airing the ceremony through 2028, including the milestone 100th Academy Awards. From the 101st ceremony onwards, YouTube will take over global broadcasting duties under a multi-year deal running through 2033.
