Live Stream The BET Awards 2020

This year, the BET Awards will be changing their format due to the still-ongoing Coronavirus pandemic — viewers will be seeing a virtual show instead of its usual audience-heavy format. With that said, BET will still deliver a show just as action-packed and full of talent as their previous efforts, even sans audience. BET president Scott Mills made this much crystal clear to Billboard:

“[Calling this show simply virtual is a] complete mischaracterization of what the show is... We actually never have described it as virtual. We said that we’re proceeding with the awards show and not doing it in front of a live audience. We were absolutely committed to not doing a couch performance show.”

The 2020 BET Awards will see actress/emcee/overall entertainer Amanda Seales as the designated host with appearances from a slew of performers, including Alicia Keys, “Rhythm & Flow” winner D Smoke, Megan Thee Stallion, Nas, Roddy Ricch, Summer Walker, Usher, YG, and loads more. Beyoncé and the late Kobe Bryant have been confirmed as honorees for their contributions to the culture. It should also be noted that this awards show would be BET’s 20th thus far, as the network is celebrating its 40th anniversary on air.

Watch HERE from 12pm - Monday 29th June (NZ) & 8pm EST - Sunday 28th June (USA)
