The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards take place tonight (September 7) at Long Island’s UBS Arena. LL Cool J will host the show—a gig he previously shared with Nicki Minaj and Jack Harlow in 2022. Set to take the stage, too, are Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Sabrina Carpenter, and more. Check out the full list of performers for the 2025 MTV VMAs below.

The VMAs broadcast begins at 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the CBS Television Network. The show will also simulcast on MTV and stream on Paramount+ in the United States. The VMAs pre-show (hosted by Nessa and Kevan Kenney) airs live, beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on MTV, BET, BET Her, Comedy Central, CMT, Logo, MTV2, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, Pop, TV Land, and VH1.

Follow along with all of Pitchfork’s coverage of the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards.

Alex Warren
British songwriter and guitarist Alex Warren will make his VMAs debut hot on the heels of releasing his debut album, You’ll Be Alright Kid. He’s among the nominees for Best New Artist and chances are he’ll perform the single “Ordinary,” which reached No. 1 on both the U.S. and UK charts this summer.

Bailey Zimmerman Featuring the Kid Laroi
Country artist Bailey Zimmerman and the Kid Laroi will hit the Extended Play Stage Presented by Doritos® to perform their collaborative single “Lost.”

Busta Rhymes
Busta Rhymes is the first recipient of the brand-new MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award. Having first performed at the show in 1997, tonight marks his seventh VMAs appearance over the span of nearly three decades.

Conan Gray
Pop singer Conan Gray will take the VMAs stage for the first time, to play “Vodka Cranberry” from his new album, Wishbone.

Doja Cat
Doja Cat’s theatrical antics have made her a VMAs fixture. She performed “Been Like This” and “You Right” in 2021, and, in 2023, delivered a medley of the Scarlet singles “Attention,” “Paint the Town Red,” and “Demons.” Tonight, she’s set to give “Jealous Type,” the lead single from her forthcoming album, Vie, its live debut.

J Balvin
Thirteen-time nominee J Balvin will be joined by Juistin Quiles and Lenny Tavárez for the trio’s new song “Zun Zun,” and then he and DJ Snake will play their single “Noventa” live for the first time. The reggaeton superstar has brought his collaborative spirit to past VMAs with assists from Bad Bunny, in 2019, and Ryan Castro, in 2022.

Nominees. Performers and How to Watch

The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards are right around the corner, and the lineup keeps getting better. Along with performances and awards, there are going to be some firsts for the award show this year.

MTV‘s VMAs have been the event of the year for the cable network for four decades, but this year, for the first time ever, the awards show will alter where it airs. Instead of running exclusively live on MTV, the 2025 VMAS will air on network television as well as streaming.

Here is what we know so far about the 2025 VMAs so far.

When are the 2025 VMAs?

The VMAs will air live on Sunday, September 7, at 8/7c, from the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. 

Where will the 2025 VMAs air?

The VMAs will air on CBS for the first time in history. So, if you don’t have cable, you will be able to watch it on a broadcast channel instead of MTV. However, the three-hour broadcast will also simulcast on MTV for old times’ sake.

The one-hour live pre-show will air across Paramount Media Networks.

Will the VMAs be streaming?

Yes! The awards will stream on Paramount+ at the same time.

Who is hosting the 2025 VMAs?

LL Cool J will host. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Hip-Hop trailblazer was announced on August 14. He will take the VMAs reins solo for the first time, after previously serving as co-emcee in 2022 with Nicki Minaj and Jack Harlow. He took home his first Moon Person in 1991 for Best Rap and was the first rapper to receive the Video Vanguard Award in 1997. Other milestone moments on the VMAs stage include a show-stopping celebration for Def Jam Recording’s 40th anniversary with surprise guest Public Enemy in 2024 and celebrating Hip-Hop turning 50 with an all-star tribute in 2023. This year, his single “Murdergram Deaux” (ft. Eminem) is nominated for Best Hip-Hop. The song was off his 2024 critically acclaimed album The Force.

In 2024, Megan Thee Stallion hosted the VMAs.

Who is nominated for the 2025 VMAs?

Lady Gaga leads this year’s nominations with 12 nods. See the full list of nominees here.

Nominations, performers, and additional details will be announced closer to the broadcast date. Last year, Taylor Swift topped the award show, winning seven Moon Person Awards, including Video of the Year for “Fortnight (featuring Post Malone).”

Nominations for this year’s Social Categories, Best Group and Song of the Summer, will be revealed on Friday, Aug. 29.

Who will receive special honors?

Hip-hop legend Busta Rhymes will receive the MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award. Global icon Ricky Martin will be honored with the Latin Icon Award. Both are the first recipients of these awards.

The Video Vanguard Award recipient will be Mariah Carey. Katy Perry was honored with the award in 2024. Carey returns to the stage for the first time in 20 years to perform her biggest hits throughout her career. Her last medley performance on the VMAs was in 2005. This is a full-circle moment for her as she presented the same award to host LL Cool J in 1997.

The best-selling female artist of all time made her VMAs debut in 1991 and has performed on the show a few times since. This honor comes as Carey celebrates 20 years of her tenth album, The Emancipation of Mimi, which features one of her biggest songs, “We Belong Together.”

Carey is a five-time Grammy Award winner who has sold more than 220 million albums worldwide. She has 19 Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, which is more than any solo artist in history, according to a press release.

Her performance comes just weeks before her sixteenth studio album, Here For It All, drops on September 26. The single “Type Dangerous” from the album is nominated for Best R&B at this year’s awards.

What else should you know about this year’s VMAs?

The 2024 VMAs delivered its biggest multi-network audience in four years and ranked as the “most social” VMAs in history, with over 66 million social interactions, according to a press release. The VMAs awards the biggest names in music that year and the best music videos. The award show guarantees “history-making performances, iconic tributes, culture-defining moments, and the biggest surprises from the world’s biggest superstars.”
