How to Watch the 2024 MTV VMAs on Paramount+
All you need to watch the MTV VMAs is, well, MTV. Everything MTV-related that you'll ever need to watch is available right on Paramount+, which includes the 2024 MTV VMAs live through the streaming app. Paramount+ costs users $8/month or $60 for a year. Paramount+ also offers a week long free trial and tons of ready-to-watch content from a multitude of different channels.
How to Watch the 2024 MTV VMAs on DIRECTV STREAM
While Paramount+ is a great option for watching shows and movies, it is limited when it comes to streaming live TV. If you're after a place that's all about live TV then DIRECTV STREAM is your go-to. It's also a fantastic hub for catching all the sports coverage you can handle this season. There are three different tiers to choose from, depending on what you're looking for. But if your main goal is catching the MTV VMAs, we recommend going with DIRECTV STREAM's lowest tier-the Entertainment package. It's got everything you need without any extra fluff. Because it's currently on sale, this tier will only cost $50/month for the first three months and then $80/month each month thereafter. Expect 90+ channels, including MTV.
How to Watch the 2024 MTV VMAs on Fubo
Fubo is yet another excellent option if live TV is all you want. And, just like DIRECTV STREAM, the lowest tier is all you'll need to stream MTV. Grab 200 channels, streaming on up to 10 screens, and unlimited DVR space for just $50 for the first month then $80/month thereafter. This is also a great option for sports lovers. While the current deal the streaming service is running doesn't trump DIRECTV STREAM, the amount of channels for the price you're paying absolutely does.
How to Watch the 2024 MTV VMAs on Hulu + Live TV
For just $77/month, Hulu + Live TV is one of the best streaming services that offers live TV (with over 90 channels), including MTV. Snag everything on Hulu with ads plus live TV — but that's not all you're going to get. Subscribers will also receive Disney+ with ads and ESPN+ with ads all under this deal. So, once the VMAs are over, you'll have a massive catalog of TV and movies to binge afterwards.
How to Watch the 2024 MTV VMAs on Philo
When MTV discontinued the MTV app a few years back, many people initially took to Philo due to the brand's affordable live streaming of the channel in addition to many others. Philo is still one of the most affordable live streaming services that offers MTV, costing just $28/month with over 70 channels.
