The 2026 Golden Globes airs live on CBS and is available to stream on live Paramount+ Premium and will be available on-demand Paramount+ on January 12. You can also stream on DirecTV Stream, Fubo, and Hulu+ With Live TV.

To watch the Golden Globes live for free, you’ll need to sign up for a free trial to Paramount+ Premium, DirecTV Stream or Fubo.

Paramount+ is available at $7.99 a month for their Essential plan, or $12.99 in a bundle with SHOWTIME as part of their Premium. You will need the Premium plan to watch the Golden Globes. Both plans have a one-week free trial which means you can watch the Golden Globes for free and cancel later.

CBS is available on Fubo’s Pro, Elite and Deluxe plans which range from $73.99 to $103.99 a month after the free trial. However, for a limited time, Fubo is offering up to $30 off your first month after the trial.

As an alternative, DirecTV Stream offers a five-day free trial, and starts at $89.99 per month after the trial ends. Fubo has a seven-day free trial, and starts at $79.99 per month after the trial ends.
