Yes, the September 7, 2025 MTV VMAs will still air on MTV as per usual, but an expansion of the awards show’s regular live simulcast finally brings Paramount Global’s broadcast network CBS and its streaming service Paramount+ into the mix. (The 2024 VMAs were made available next-day on Paramount+.)

The 2025 edition of the MTV VMAs will be simulcast on CBS and the streaming service Paramount+. Does this spell the end of the network? Paramount+ made the 2024 VMAs available to watch the next day, but this is the first year a major network will broadcast the awards show simultaneously.

Paramount Global will simulcast its MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) on broadcast network CBS this year, the company announced on Thursday. This article, CBS to simulcast VMAs from MTV in September, was first published at The Desk.
