Where to watch 2025 MAMA Awards online? Full lineup, nominees, live voting, & all you need to know 

On November 28 and 29, Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong will host the 2025 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). Presented by Visa, the two-night ceremony carries the theme Hear My Roar: Uh-Heung, a tiger-forward motif. HBO Max will stream both evenings live. This is the first time the ceremony will be held on that international platform.

CJ ENM’s Mnet Plus will also offer a free, global 4K UHD livestream and act as the primary hub for fan interaction and voting. In South Korea, viewers can watch on linear TV via Mnet and tvN SHOW, or stream on TVING, NAVER TV, and CHZZK. Below are the regions and respective platforms where fans can stream.

The MAMA Red Carpet had been set for 4:30 pm HKT / 5:30 pm KST, and the main show for 6:30 pm HKT / 7:30 pm KST. Mnet, however, issued a viewing guide notice cancelling the Red Carpet. The main awards broadcast will air live as scheduled The show is split into two chapters. Chapter 1 (on November 28) features performances from generational artists.

Chapter 2 (on November 29) focuses on the leading contenders for the Daesang awards. Winners from categories like Artist, Song, and Album of the Year hinge largely on sales figures plus evaluations from professional judges. Fan-centered categories (including Fans’ Choice awards) depend heavily on votes submitted exclusively through Mnet Plus.
