Overview

  • The Academy and YouTube finalized a multi‑year agreement granting exclusive global rights to stream the Oscars from the 101st ceremony in 2029 through 2033.
  • The main show, red carpet, behind‑the‑scenes access and the Governors Ball will stream live and free worldwide on YouTube, with U.S. availability also on YouTube TV.
  • ABC remains the U.S. broadcaster through the 100th Oscars in 2028, with Buena Vista International continuing its international role for that period.
  • The deal covers a wide slate of Academy programming including nominations announcements, Governors Awards, the nominees luncheon, student and scientific & technical honors, interviews, education and podcasts, plus a Google Arts & Culture digitization initiative.
  • Financial terms were not disclosed; trade reports say YouTube outbid rivals with a nine‑figure offer, and key details on measurement, advertising models and regional licensing are still to be clarified.
