The event marks the return of the Golden Globes to live broadcasts in the US after its absence from traditional television channels in recent years.
It will air on CBS and stream live on Paramount+, a shift aimed at reaching a broader audience.
How to watch the Golden Globes live in South Africa
For the first time in decades, the Golden Globes will not be simulcast in South Africa.
MultiChoice’s M-Net channel, which traditionally aired the event live, opted not to purchase the broadcasting rights for 2025.
This decision comes in light of past controversies surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which saw the organisation accused of lacking diversity and transparency.
Instead, South African audiences can catch belated coverage through E! Entertainment (channel 124), which will air a recorded version of the Live from the Red Carpet segment the following day.
Unfortunately, this means there are no local options to watch the ceremony live.
For those eager to follow the event in real time, the only way to watch live is through CBS or the Paramount+ streaming service, both of which are unavailable directly in South Africa without using a virtual private network (VPN).
This approach requires additional setup and may involve creating accounts for platforms that operate in the US.
