How to watch Brit Awards 2022 and see Adele's performance online

It's time to watch the Brit Awards 2022 online, so sit down and get the best seat in the house for Adele's latest performance. As usual, the festivities are emanating from the O2 Arena in London, and (naturally) Adele isn't the only big name set to appear (though her slated performance is expected to steal the show.) And it's going to be completely free to watch, too.

Also performing at the Brits are Anne-Marie, Dave, Digital Farm Animals, Ed Sheeran, Holly Humberstone, KSI, Liam Gallagher, Little Simz and Sam Fender. Adele, Sheeran, Lil Simz and Dave all have four nominations apiece. 

The folks organizing the Brits this year are doing their best to make sure safety precautions for Covid-19 are taken into consideration. A negative lateral flow test is required for entrance to the O2 Arena.

The Brit Awards 2022 red carpet starts an hour earlier, and will be on ITV2 and the Brit Awards social channels including YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Twitter. Munya Chawawa and Nella Rose are set to host.

As for the main show, you get different hosts based on where you're watching. British stand-up comedian Mo Gillian is set to host the ITV feed, while AJ Odudu and Reece Parkinson will co-host the YouTube feed, with YouTuber Amelia Dimoldenberg also tapped to be involved.

In other TV news, Amazon Prime Video just confirmed Reacher season 2. Yes, that show just released its first season less than a week ago, but that's how big of a hit it was. And, wouldn't you believe it, but Spider-Man: No Way Home's been snubbed by the Oscars.

How to watch Adele on the Brit Awards 2022 for free in the U.K.

The Brit Awards 2022 will be available to watch for free in the U.K., on ITV and the ITV Hub. You will, however, also need a valid U.K. TV license to watch.

How to watch Adele at the Brit Awards 2022 from anywhere

Prefer Mo Gilligan over the YouTube hosts? Just because you're not in the U.K. doesn't mean you can't stream the ITV feed of The Brit Awards 2022. If you want to use ITV remotely, you can do so with a VPN, or virtual private network.

A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the country you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, even when you're travelling.

Speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. Plus, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
