How to Watch the Screen Actors Guild Awards Without Cable

Awards season is back, and it wouldn’t be the lead-up to the Oscars without the SAG Awards. Every year, the actors of the SAG-AFTRA labor union give their opinions on the best film and TV performances of the previous year, and you can bet that members of the Academy are tuning in to hear their choices. This ceremony has no production categories — only acting — and is voted on by the union’s more than 100,000 members. If you love film, TV, and memorable performances, you won’t want to miss out. Here’s all the information you need to watch the SAG Awards.

The SAG Awards aren’t streaming on a cable network, so cord-cutters have equal access to the event. The nominees were announced on Jan. 8 on Netflix’s YouTube channel. Kristen Bell, who currently stars in “Nobody Wants This” alongside Adam Brody, will return as host for the first time since hosting the ceremony in 2018. The SAG Life Achievement Award, the highest honor, will go to Jane Fonda this year.

Here’s all of the information about the event:

• When are the SAG Awards 2025?: Sunday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT
• Who is hosting the SAG Awards 2025?: Kristen Bell

Thanks to a multiyear partnership with Netflix, the SAG Awards will forgo a cable broadcast for the second year in a row to broadcast exclusively on the streaming giant. If you already have a Netflix subscription, you’ll have automatic access to the live footage from the SAG Awards. That means you can watch online, on your smart TV, or anywhere you like to stream Netflix.

There’s a slight downside to this for cord-cutters who don’t have a Netflix subscription. Because the event isn’t airing on TV, there’s no way to use skinny bundles that include live TV channels to stream the ceremony. This means that there’s no way to access the ceremony on platforms like FuboTV, which cord-cutters often turn to for live events.

Here are all the ways to stream the SAG Awards 2025:

• Netflix

Streaming devices offer the flexibility to enjoy streaming services on your TV, computer, and mobile devices. You can watch the SAG Awards on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, and Chromecast by pairing Netflix with your favorite device. You can access Netflix on the web at Netflix.com and on your mobile devices by downloading the Netflix app from your device’s app store.

The 2025 film and TV awards season is here and fans can look forward to the Critics Choice Awards, the Grammys, and of course the biggest event of the year, the Oscars in March.

Unlike the SAGs, other awards shows are usually broadcast on one of the major cable stations with affiliates across the country, like ABC or CBS. You can also check out E! for your year-round fix of celebrity gossip and red-carpet moments.
