This year’s MTV Video Awards is scheduled for Tuesday, September 10, 2024, and will be broadcast live from the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.
The ceremony is said to be the first award show to be held at the Arena, which opened in 2021.
The venue will be the sixth venue in New York to host the event after it alternated at various centres including The Palladium, Metropolitan Opera House, Barclay’s Center, and Madison Square Garden.
Since its inception at the Radio City Music Hall in 1984, the event has been a huge attraction for many music enthusiasts.
“We’re excited to bring this year’s VMAs to UBS Arena, one of the country’s newest and most cutting-edge venues,” Bruce Gillmer, President of Music and other related portfolios at Paramount+, said.
