American Music Awards 2017: Live Stream, Red Carpet, Nominees And Performances

The American Music Awards are finally here, and it’ll be an exciting night for music fans. Luckily, we have all the info you will need ahead of the big show.

Watching: If you want to watch the 2017 AMAs on TV, you’ll need to tune into ABC. The alphabet network will broadcast the ceremony, which will be hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross, live from the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 19 at 8 p.m. EST. The west coast will have to wait until 8 p.m. PST to see the show.

Those who prefer to watch online can simply head to ABC’s website or app to live stream the AMAs. However, those who watch via live stream will need login information from their cable provider.

Red Carpet: What’s an awards show without a little fashion? Musicians always take fun risks on the red carpet, and fans can see those daring choices when the official AMAs pre-show starts at 6 p.m. EST. Audiences will only be able to watch it via live stream on the AMAs Twitter page.

Those who prefer to watch their red carpet coverage on TV can tune into E!. The network will have their standard “Live from the Red Carpet” special ahead of the event.
