How to watch the BAFTA TV Awards 2023 live

For UK television, accolades don’t come any bigger than the BAFTA TV Awards. We’re all used to spending the next morning arguing about who should have won what, but the really committed will watch the show live.

Here is what time the BAFTA TV Awards are on, and how to watch them live from the UK and US.

When are the 2023 BAFTA TV Awards?

The 2023 BAFTA TV Awards are due to take place on Sunday 14 May 2023. It will kick off at the following times:

• 7pm BST (UK)
• 2pm ET (East Coast US)
• 11am PT (West Coast US)
• 8pm CET (Central Europe)

Which channel are the TV BAFTAs on?

If you’re in the UK, the easiest way to watch the BAFTAs when it airs is on BBC One, which will be televising coverage of the ceremony on the night.

The BBC coverage lasts for two hours, and will focus on the awards ceremony itself – though you should also be able to watch red carpet arrivals on the BAFTA website and on their Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube channels.

No US TV channel will be airing the awards, but read on to find out how to watch the ceremony online in the US.

How to watch the BAFTAs online

If you’re in the UK and pay the licence fee, the easiest way to watch the BAFTAs online will be through BBC iPlayer, which you can use to watch BBC One live.

In America, Variety has confirmed that BritBox will be streaming the ceremony.

This costs $7.99 per month, though new users can get a 7-day free trial – so you can stream the ceremony without having to pay anything, providing you cancel before the trial is over.

Viewers in Canada, Australia, South Africa, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway can also stream the ceremony via BritBox. If you’re outside of these countries, then check out how to watch BBC iPlayer from abroad.

Who is hosting the 2023 TV BAFTAs?

This year, the presenters will be comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan. They’ve previously presented together on Sky:
