Golden Globes Sign Five-Year Deal With CBS; Here Are All the Key Dates for the 2025 Show
Written by djfrosty on April 2, 2024
The 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on CBS on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025. This inaugurates a five-year deal to broadcast the long-running awards show on CBS.
Nominations for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards will be announced on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024.
The Globes aired on NBC for all but two years from 1996 to 2023. The show wasn’t televised in 2008 due to a WGA strike or in 2022 amid widely reported ethical and membership issues within the organization. The Globes moved to CBS earlier this year with a well-received and highly rated show that amounted to something Hollywood knows well — a comeback story.
CBS’ broadcast of the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jan. 7 averaged 10 million viewers (Nielsen Live+7-Day national ratings), up nearly +50% from last year, its largest audience since 2020. The telecast, hosted by Jo Koy, was also the third-largest live-streamed CBS special event on Paramount+ ever in terms of average minute audience and reach.

The 2025 show will air Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025 (8:00-11:00 p.m., live ET/5:00-8:00 p.m., live PT) on CBS, and will stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the special airs).
