2024 BAFTA Awards: How To Watch The Ceremony Online

The 77th British Academy Film Awards are here! Here's everything you need to know for streaming the 2024 BAFTA Awards online in the U.S.

Heading into the ceremony, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy leads the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) pack with 13 total nominations, including for best film, director and adapted screenplay. Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things starring Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo follows with 11 nominations, including for best film and adapted screenplay.

The 2024 BAFTA Awards hosted by Doctor Who's David Tennant take place on Sunday, Feb. 18 at 2 pm ET (7 pm local time) and will be televised on the BBC One. The ceremony will be held at the Royal Festival Hall in London's Southbank Centre. Below, we're breaking down how to watch the BAFTA Awards online in the U.S.

The best way to watch is by signing up for a BritBox subscription or by signing up for a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access BBC One's iPlayer. When you sign up for a VPN, you can access content that's typically restricted based on your location. Since BBC One will broadcast the BAFTA ceremony on TV and stream it online on iPlayer, those who do not live across the pond can use a VPN to access the show.

But which streaming method should you choose? We recommend BritBox for British TV fanatics. If you're someone who wants to cast a wider international TV net, a VPN is for you. VPNs offers greater flexibility and the option to stream other international shows such as the UK's Naked Attraction, Married at First Sight Australia and international versions of streamers including Netflix, Disney Plus and Max — which include different content than in the U.S. Below, we're outlining our top recommendations for watching the 2024 BAFTAS in the U.S.

BritBox is an affordable streaming service that boasts the biggest library of British TV shows. It works like any other streaming service. Simply create an account, choose a monthly plan for $8.99/month or an annual plan for $89.99/year, and stream the BAFTAs and more!

If you want to sign up for a VPN, we recommend ExpressVPN since it can be cancelled at any time and offers a 30-day guarantee. It is one of the most cost-effective, low-stakes ways to watch BAFTA Awards in the U.S. online. Right now, if you sign up for a 12-month plan you can get three extra months free, bringing the overall cost per month down from $12.95 to $6.67. The six-month plan costs $9.99/month and the single month subscription goes for $12.95/month. Because ExpressVPN is also easy to set up, promises lightning-fast speeds, offers 24-hour live-chat support and allows users to connect to eight devices at once, it's out top overall VPN pick.

Here are step-by-step instructions for how to watch the 2024 BAFTA Awards online in the U.S. using ExpressVPN:

1. Select a subscription for ExpressVPN
2. Create an account by entering an email address and payment information, then login
3. Install ExpressVPN by clicking "Download" on the Dashboard or in the Set Up Your Devices tab

NordVPN is another popular subscription VPN service that can be used for watching the BAFTAS in the U.S. NordVPN also offers a live-chat support service, which is a major plus for those who are unsure about how to set up a VPN correctly. It's our runner-up, however, because it does only allow users to connect on six devices. NordVPN also offers double VPN servers for added protection and monitors the dark web for data breaches. Plus, there is 30-day a money-back guarantee. The standard plan costs $12.99 for one month, $4.99/month for one year and $3.39/month for two years. You can also upgrade your plan for an added cost to unlock even more benefits. (See full package breakdown.)
