Watch 2018 MTV Video Music Awards for free
By now you should know the 2018 MTV VMAs will broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Monday, August 20 at 9:00 p.m. EST. You can use your TV provider login to watch the award show on MTV.com and other subscription-based services.
If you don’t have a TV subscription and want to see all the artist performances and unexpected celebrity moments, there are a few ways you can watch the VMAs for free.
Several Internet-based live TV services offer free trials of their TV services that allow you to watch on your TV via Apple TV, Roku etc., or on your computer or mobile device.
PlayStation Vue offers a free trial for new customers. The free trial allows you to experience premium channels including MTV so you can watch the award show.
Other TV streaming services such as DirecTV Now, PhiloTV, SlingTV offer free seven day trials. With Sling TV you may have to add one of their add-on packages, but it is still included in your free seven-day trial.
You will need to provide your credit card information when you sign-up, but your card won’t be charged until after your free trial expires. If your goal is to only use the free trial to watch the VMAs and maybe a few days after, we suggest you set your phone up to remind you to cancel the service on the fifth or sixth day just to make sure you’re not automatically charged for being a new subscriber.
