The Tony Awards are tonight! On Sunday, June 8, 2025, the ceremony is returning to Radio City Music Hall for the first time in three years. Similar to recent ceremonies, the Tonys will be a multiplatform television event, and we’re here to help you navigate the best way to view the must-see theater celebration.

The pre-show will be available to viewers for free on Pluto TV beginning Sunday, June 8 at 6:40 – 8 p.m. EST/3:40 – 5 p.m. PST. Read more about this here.


How to Watch the 2025 Tony Awards

The presentation of the American Theatre Wing’s 78th Annual Tony Awards, which will be hosted by three-time Academy Award nominee and Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo, will air live from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. EST on CBS and 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).
