Oscars to Stream Exclusively on YouTube Beginning in 2029

By Elias Schisgall


The Oscars will stream exclusively on YouTube beginning in 2029.

The awards ceremony, run by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will stream on YouTube TV in the U.S. and for free globally on YouTube, YouTube and the Academy said Wednesday.

The video-streaming platform will also feature red carpet coverage, behind-the-scenes content, and Governors Ball access, YouTube and the Academy said. Some Academy Museum exhibitions will be featured on Google Arts & Culture.

The deal is effective through 2033, the Academy.

"Partnering with The Academy will inspire a new generation of creativity and film lovers while staying true to the Oscars' storied legacy," YouTube Chief Executive Officer Neal Mohan said.

The Oscars' U.S. partnership will continue with ABC and the international partnership with Disney's Buena Vista International through 2028, the Academy said. Disney, which owns ABC, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
