Getty Daddy Yankee accepts an award at the 2018 Latin AMAs.
The Latin American Music Awards is back for a 5th year. Airing on Telemundo, this awards ceremony features performances by top artists and awards to cover a year of exciting developments in the respective genres. Before the ceremony gets started, check out the pre-show action online.
Watch the Red Carpet Pre-Show on Telemundo
Telemundo is the official network for this year’s award show. Coverage of the red carpet begins at 7 p.m. ET with La Alfombra de Latin AMAs. Rashel Diaz, Rodner Figueroa, Jorge Bernal, and Jessica Carrillo are scheduled to appear as hosts for the festivities. To catch the event on Telemundo, viewers must have a cable or streaming subscription that covers live TV. Many streaming services such as Hulu and YouTubeLive can also be accessed online.
If you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can watch Telemundo in the United States on your computer, phone or streaming device via one of the following over-the-top, cable-free, live-TV streaming services:
Hulu With Live TV: In addition to a Netflix-like on-demand streaming library, Hulu also offers a bundle of live TV channels, including Telemundo. You can sign up for “Hulu with Live TV” right here, and you can then watch the show live on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the Hulu app.
If you can’t watch live, “Hulu with Live TV” also comes with both its extensive on-demand library (which has many shows available after they air) and 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage (with the ability to upgrade to “Enhanced Cloud DVR,” which gives you 200 hours of DVR space and the ability to fast forward through commercials).
FuboTV: Telemundo (live in select markets) is included in the “Fubo Premier” channel package. You can sign up for a free 7-day trial, and you can then watch live on your computer via the FuboTV website, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the FuboTV app.
If you can’t watch live, FuboTV comes with 30 hours of Cloud DVR (with the ability to upgrade to 500 hours), as well as a “72-Hour Lookback” feature, which allows you to watch most events or shows up to three days after they air even if you forgot to record them.
Backstage Coverage Will Be on Instagram
For fans on Instagram, event organizers have put together a special surprise in addition to live stream coverage. Regular stories will be updated throughout the day. Each one will show the hectic details backstage and hopefully give viewers a new way to experience the event.
For viewers that can’t access Telemundo, the network has yet another way to get in on the red carpet arrivals. Christian Acosta, Nastassja Bolivar, and Claudia Vergara, hosts of the popular Latinx Now!, will be presenting another view of the event on Twitter. The live stream promises all of the artists and interviews viewers expect from coverage, with a decidedly modern perspective. This special event includes an appearance by Justin Sylvester and Rombai.is scheduled to perform.
Latin AMAs: Acceso VIP Wraps up the Night with More Red Carpet and Backstage Coverage
As the night ends, check in on what might have been missed on the red carpet with Telemundo’s Latin AMAs: Acceso VIP. Jessica Carrillo, Stephanie “Chiquibaby” Himonidis, and Rodner Figueroa lead the coverage. Expect interviews with the winners(and losers), inside looks at all of the after-parties, and a one-of-a-kind glimpse into everything that happened backstage. Fashion coverage offers critiques of who was the best and worst dressed celebs of the night. It all takes place when the show starts at 11:35pm. As with earlier Telemundo events, the show can only be seen on cable and streaming services. A paid subscription is also required to access the network.
