The date and time of the 2025 American Music Awards have been revealed. Produced by Dick Clark Productions, the annual ceremony began in 1974 and has since become a prominent part of the American pop culture. It is widely regarded as one of the most honorable music awards in the country.
Here are the details on when the AMAs 2025 are going to air.
When is American Music Awards 2025?
The 2025 American Music Awards will be broadcast from Fontainebleau Las Vegas at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, on CBS. It will also stream on Paramount+. Jennifer Lopez will serve as the host. It will be the 51st edition of the event. CBS reportedly intends to hold the ceremony on Memorial Day from now.
It will be the first AMA Awards in three years. The last one was hosted back in 2022, where Wayne Brady served as the host. It was also the last iteration of the event to air on ABC. The network’s contract for the AMAs expired in 2022, and that was the reason it went on a three-year hiatus.
In 2024, various outlets reported that the American Music Awards had found a new home at CBS after a multi-year deal that the network entered. The rights to broadcast the AMAs were part of a five-year agreement that CBS signed to air the Golden Globe Awards. However, it’s unclear whether CBS will broadcast the AMAs for the next five years as well.
While the ceremony didn’t take place in 2024, CBS aired a televised special to mark the AMAs’ 50th anniversary. There, Lopez made an appearance alongside the likes of Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Mariah Carey, Gloria Estefan, Green Day, Jennifer Hudson, Chaka Khan, Kane Brown, Nelly, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, and Jimmy Kimmel.
The AMAs are reportedly the world’s largest fan-voted award show. It honors people who have accomplished remarkable things in the music industry.
