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.

When are The Brit Awards?

The Brit Awards Date: Today (Tuesday, Feb. 8)
The Brit Awards Time: 8 p.m. GMT / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT
Streaming free (UK): ITV (and ITV Hub online)
Streaming free (elsewhere): YouTube
Red carpet: 7 p.m. GMT / 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT on ITV2

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.

Outside of the U.K.? You can check out the feed on YouTube which also looks like it will be free.

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.

We've tested plenty of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
