When are the Golden Globes aired in Australia

The Golden Globes air live from Los Angeles, meaning Australian viewers will be tuning in on Monday morning. While exact broadcast times are confirmed closer to the event, the ceremony traditionally begins around 11am AEDT, with red-carpet coverage starting earlier, usually 10am AEDT.

As always, expect fashion arrivals, awkward interviews, and viral moments to flood social media well before the first award is handed out.

How to watch

Australian audiences can stream the Golden Globes exclusively on Paramount+, which holds the local rights to the ceremony. Subscribers can watch the event live as it airs in the US, or catch up later with the full replay on demand.

For those new to the platform, Paramount+ typically offers a free trial, an easy way to tune in for awards season.

Is the ceremony on Free-to-Air TV in Australia?

No, the Golden Globes are not expected to air live on free-to-air television in Australia.

Streaming via Paramount+ remains the only way to watch the ceremony in full.

However, highlights, red-carpet galleries, and major wins will be shared across entertainment outlets and social media shortly after the broadcast.

Red Carpet coverage

Australian viewers can also catch the red-carpet coverage through Paramount+, with live interviews and fashion arrivals airing ahead of the main event. The red carpet usually starts at 10am AEDT.

Official Golden Globes social channels and entertainment outlets will share clips and live updates throughout the morning, ensuring no standout look or celebrity mishap goes unnoticed.

How to watch later

If you can’t tune in live, the full ceremony will be available to stream later on Paramount+. Many fans prefer watching on demand to skip straight to the biggest awards or replay the moments everyone’s talking about.

The Nightly will be following all the red-carpet highlights, award winners and viral moments.
