The BAFTA Film Awards is one of the most prestigious events celebrating movies from the last 12 months as we get ever closer to the Oscars next month. If you fancy catching each award and their acceptance speeches in full live, we can show you how to watch the BAFTAs live stream online from anywhere.
It's a competitive field this year, with Oppenheimer a likely favorite with multiple British connections leading it to 13 nominations. Poor Things continues gathering momentum, though, with 11, followed by the Scorsese/Di Caprio combo of Flowers of the Killer Moon. Saltburn and Barbie have five each, too.
The quick links box below has everything you need on where to watch the BAFTAs 2024 event on TV or online. If you're in the UK, you can watch the BAFTAs for free on BBC1. If you're outside of the UK right now, we'll show you how to enjoy this official British broadcast for free via the magic of VPNs, as geo-restrictions will block your access otherwise. You can also use it for more streaming opportunities like:
- Free Love Island All stars live stream | How to watch The Bachelor for free | Where to watch Six Nations | Free Champions League live streams
What channel is the BAFTAs on?
As a British Awards show, the BAFTAs live stream will be hosted by the BBC in the UK, specifically BBC 1. If you're in the UK, you can watch it on TV or head online and tune in via the BBC iPlayer. We'd imagine you'll be able to watch it on-demand the day after, but we also wouldn't bank on this as live events sometimes don't make it onto on-demand viewing platforms afterward.
The TV subscription service, Britbox International, has picked up the BAFTAs live stream tonight in the US and a handful of other countries. If you'd rather avoid signing up for any new streaming service, keep reading for tips on how to watch the free live BBC broadcast instead.
The short version is that a VPN is your best option if you're not in the UK and are set on watching the BAFTAs live stream.
How to watch the BAFTAs live stream from anywhere
If you're not in the UK but want to check out the free BBC1 streaming option for the BAFTAs, it's time to familiarize yourself with a VPN. Short for "virtual private network," a VPN can effectively change your device's virtual location so that it appears to be connecting from any country you want. To watch the BAFTAs, you can connect your VPN to a UK-based server, then simply navigate to the BBC iPlayer website and create a free account.
A VPN can also help encrypt your network traffic, improving privacy and security. There are many VPN services and apps to choose from, and multiple options are available if you'd like to check them out on our best VPN deals guide. Our pick among these for international streaming would be ExpressVPN, which is 49% off this week.
ExpressVPN has topped our list of the best VPNs for quite some time. It's reliable and easy to use, and the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there's no harm in trying it. If it doesn't work well for your needs to watch the BAFTAs online or you don't like it, you can always request a refund within the introductory period, no questions asked. Our detailed ExpressVPN review lays out everything you need to know about the service and all its benefits.
