How to watch Tony Awards 2023 online

Ariana DeBose attends the 2023 Ali Forney Center A Place At The Table Gala at Cipriani Wall Street on May 12, 2023 in New York City

Broadway's best and brightest will shine when you watch the Tony Awards 2023 online. The theater industry is convening once again to honor the year's best musicals, plays and performers. The 76th Tony Awards will be hosted again by Oscar winner Ariana DeBose. 

Tony Awards channel, start time

The 76th Annual Tony Awards will broadcast and stream Sunday (June 11), starting at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount Plus.

Due to the Writers Guild of America strike, the ceremony will be completely unscripted, so DeBose and other presenters will make up stage banter on the spot. 

The show will feature performances by this year's nominated musicals, including Camelot, Into The Woods, & Juliet, Kimberly Akimbo, New York, New York, Parade, Shucked, Some Like It Hot and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Also scheduled is a special performance for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre recipients Joel Grey and John Kander.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch the Tony Awards 2023 online tonight.

How to watch Tony Awards 2023 live stream from anywhere

Just because Paramount Plus and CBS aren't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch the Tony Awards 2023 if you're away from home. Watching the show along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy with the right VPN (virtual private network). You can stream the show from wherever you go.

We've evaluated many VPN services, and our top pick is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds. It's also affordable at $12.95 per month. (Signing up for longer periods of six months or a year reduces the cost even more.)

How to watch Tony Awards 2023 in the US

In the U.S., theater lovers can watch the Tony Awards 2023 live Sunday, June 11. 

The pre-show, titled "Act One," will begin streaming live at 6:30 p.m. ET exclusively on Pluto TV. 

The 76th Tony Awards start at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on CBS and Paramount Plus.

CBS is a broadcast network that can accessed with one of the best TV antennas or through a cable TV package.

If you've already cut the cord and don't have cable, you can watch CBS on a live TV service, like Fubo, Hulu With Live TV, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream. Of these options, we recommend Fubo, one of the best streaming services on the market.

You can also watch your local CBS station's live feed on Paramount Plus with a Premium subscription.
