Watch Oscars 2023: Livestream the 95th Academy Awards From Anywhere
Find out which channel the Oscars are on and how to watch Hollywood’s most glamorous event, no matter where you live.
The most prestigious event on the movie world’s calendar takes place today, as the red carpet gets rolled out at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles for the 2023 Oscars.
Talk show star Jimmy Kimmel is the host for the 95th Academy Awards and will be hoping for a far less dramatic night than that of his predecessor, Chris Rock, who was on the receiving end of Will Smith’s now infamous stage-storming assault during the 2022 ceremony.
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s ground-breaking sci-fi hit Everything Everywhere All at Once leads the pack with a whopping 11 separate nominations, with Michelle Yeoh the big favorite to walk away with the best actress award for her role in the movie.
Anti-war epic All Quiet on the Western Front is being strongly tipped to become the first foreign language film to win best picture since Parasite’s triumph back in 2020, while Steven Spielberg will be hoping his autobiographical family drama The Fabelmans can repeat its recent success at the Golden Globes.
It could also be a big night for Irish cinema, with a quarter of this year’s acting nominees — Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon, Paul Mescal and Barry Keoghan — all coming from the country, while Emerald Isle tragi-comedy The Banshees of Inisherin is also hotly tipped to win best picture.
Alongside the gushing speeches and glamour, there’s also some highly anticipated musical interludes to look forward to, with Rihanna set to perform her song Lift Me Up from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which is nominated in the best original song category. Talking Heads singer David Byrne will also be performing This Is a Life from Everything Everywhere All At Once alongside Son Lux and Stephanie Hsu.
Catch every golden envelope opening by following our guide to watching the Oscars 2023 from anywhere in the world.

How to watch the Oscars 2023 from anywhere on VPN
So what if you’re traveling outside your home country and want to enjoy the ceremony or want an added layer of privacy for streaming? There’s an option that doesn’t require searching the internet for a sketchy website: You can use a VPN, or virtual private network.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the show. If you find yourself unable to watch locally, a VPN can come in handy. Plus it’s a great idea for when you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
Most VPNs, like CNET’s Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it easy to virtually change your location. Looking for other options? Be sure to check out some of the other great VPN deals.
Sarah Tew/CNET
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 per month. But you can save 49% plus get three months of access for free — the equivalent of $6.67 per month — if you get an annual subscription.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
How to watch the Oscars in the US
The Oscars will be broadcast live on ABC. If you’ve cut the cord (a cheaper option with major perks), you can livestream ABC on most live TV streaming services. Our two favorites are Sling TV and YouTube TV.
You can also stream the show live via abc.com or the ABC app, but you’ll need a login from a cable provider to watch the Oscars.
Sarah Tew/CNET
Sling TV is one of the cheapest live TV streaming providers in the US and the Blue plan includes access to ABC and the Oscars, but only in eight US markets: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston, Raleigh-Durham and Fresno.
Pricing varies by market. Customers in most of those cities will pay $45 per month, while customers in three of the eight — Fresno, Houston and Raleigh — pay $40 per month. Note that Sling has a half-price deal for the first month, so you could sign up to watch the Oscars then cancel to save.
US residents who don’t live in one of those markets can’t use Sling TV to get ABC and watch the Oscars.
Sarah Tew/CNET
Unlike Sling TV, YouTube TV carries ABC and the Oscars in most US cities. With an excellent channel selection, easy-to-use interface and best-in-class cloud DVR, and at $65 per month, YouTube TV is the best cable TV replacement. Read our YouTube TV review.
How to watch the Oscars in the UK
UK movie fans will need to be Sky subscribers to watch the 2023 Oscars live, which are set to be shown on the dedicated Sky Cinema Oscars channel. Red carpet coverage kicks off at 11 p.m. GMT late on Sunday night, with the ceremony itself beginning at 1 a.m. GMT in the early hours of Monday morning. If you can’t stay awake for that long, highlights will be available later on Sky Max, after the ceremony.
Now TV
You don’t need a pricey Sky Cinema package to watch this year’s Oscars.
Purchase a Now Entertainment or Cinema Pass from £9.99 a month and you’ll be able to stream all of this year’s ceremony without any long-term commitment.
How to watch the Oscars in Canada
CTV
You can watch the 95th Academy Awards in Canada via CTV. The show starts at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET) on Sunday, with the buildup kicking off on the network at 3:30 p.m. PT (6:30 p.m. ET).
You can also watch the Oscars unfold on the CTV website live or on-demand, though you’ll first need to log in with your cable credentials.
If you don’t have CTV as part of a cable package, that isn’t such good news, as the network doesn’t currently offer a streaming-only subscription option.
How to watch the Oscars in Australia for free
7+
The great news for film fans Down Under is that you can watch the 2023 Oscars for free on Channel 7 in Australia. The event begins at 12 p.m. AEDT on Monday morning, but live coverage starts an hour earlier, at 11 a.m.
That means the Oscars will also be livestreamed for free on the network’s 7 Plus streaming service, which works across a wide range of devices, including smart TVs, laptops, games consoles, mobile phones, tablets and streaming sticks.
Tips for streaming the Oscars 2023 using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — experience and success may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the «search for city or country» option.
- If you’re having trouble viewing after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a network’s app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log in to your services. We normally recommend Brave.

Pope Francis’ Funeral: How to Stream Live or Watch the Replay
Here’s how to stream the pope’s funeral very early Saturday, and what you can expect to see during the service.
After a week of global mourning for Pope Francis, who died on Monday at age 88, the pope’s funeral will be celebrated on Saturday . Francis’ funeral will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. local time at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City (which is very, very early if you’re tuning in from the US or Canada), and he will be laid to rest at the Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome.
The Vatican will be livestreaming the papal funeral and procession, though not the burial, on its YouTube channel as it happens. The funeral will also be televised live on CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox, as well as on streaming services like Disney Plus, Hulu, Peacock and Paramount Plus. Due to the time difference, it seems likely that many interested North American viewers will catch it when it’s replayed later on Saturday. Numerous networks will rebroadcast the service later that day.
If you choose to stay up, or get up early, here’s when the live broadcast of the pope’s funeral will air in your time zone in the continental US on April 26:
- ET: 4 a.m.
- CT: 3 a.m.
- MT: 2 a.m.
- PT: 1 a.m.
The papacy of Pope Francis was notable for the progressive reforms he brought to the Roman Catholic Church. He appointed more than half of the current College of Cardinals and attempted to foster more positive attitudes toward members of the LGBT community and migrants worldwide.
What to expect from the funeral
The funeral will follow many rituals, though not all traditional protocols will be followed. Most popes are buried in St. Peter’s Basilica or its grottoes, but the AP reports Francis chose the St. Mary Major Basilica to reflect his veneration of an icon of the Virgin Mary that is located there, the Salus Populi Romani (Salvation of the People of Rome).
His funeral will be less elaborate than those of other popes per his own wishes. Francis simplified papal funeral rites last year, permitting his burial outside the Vatican, and emphasizing his role as a bishop rather than as pope (the pope is also the Bishop of Rome).
Previous popes were buried in three coffins: one of cypress, one of lead and one of oak. Francis requested to be buried in a single wooden, zinc-lined coffin and not to be placed in an elevated bier as other popes were.
The coffin will be taken from St Peter’s Basilica and placed on a dais in St Peter’s Square, where Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re will lead the service. After the service, the coffin will return to St Peter’s Basilica before it is carried across the River Tiber and to the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major for burial. The ceremony is estimated to end around 2 p.m. local time, or four hours after it begins.
Pope Francis’ funeral Mass will be the first of nine Masses held daily at St. Peter’s until May 4. This is an ancient tradition of the Catholic Church that observes nine days of consecutive mourning. According to Vatican News, a different group of mourners will participate each day, though the Eucharistic celebrations are open to everyone.
Who will attend Pope Francis’ funeral?
Hundreds of people, including world leaders and royals, are expected to attend Pope Francis’ funeral.
US president Donald Trump confirmed on his Truth Social Platform that he and first lady Melania Trump will be at the funeral. This will be Trump’s first foreign trip in his second term. He is expected to have a seat in the third row, though the Vatican has yet to release an official seating chart. It is tradition for the first row of seats to go to Catholic royalty, and the second row to non-Catholic royals.
Prince William, who is attending on behalf of King Charles, will sit in the second row, which is reserved for non-Catholic royals. Former president Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden, devout Catholics, will also attend the funeral.
Conclave: What happens next to choose the new pope
After Pope Francis’ funeral, the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church will vote on his successor in an assembly of cardinals known as a conclave.
There are many matters for the cardinals to settle before the conclave begins, but once it does, it can take days or even weeks to conclude. Two-thirds of the cardinals’ votes are required to elect the next pope. The conclave occurs behind closed doors and the vote tally is never made public.

Look for the white smoke
The ballots are burned after each round, and chemicals are added to the flames to produce black smoke if there’s no majority. When a new pope has been selected, the chemicals will be added to the flames so they produce white smoke. Crowds gather in St. Peter’s Square to watch for the results.
If you’re fascinated by the process, you can watch a dramatized version of the events in 2024 film Conclave.
In the movie, Ralph Fiennes stars as Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, who spearheads the election of the next pope while investigating rumors about potential candidates. The film is based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris and is completely fictional — though it does represent some of the events of how actual papal conclaves take place. In March, the film won the Academy Award for best adapted screenplay.
You can stream Conclave on Amazon Prime Video, or rent it for $6 on Apple TV, Fandango at Home, YouTube or Google Play Movies.
