The 2025 BAFTA Film Awards are over. The 78th British Academy Film Awards took place at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, February 16, 2025, so there is no live broadcast to watch now. At the time, viewers in the UK watched on BBC One or BBC iPlayer, while North American viewers used BritBox International. BAFTA also offered separate red-carpet coverage on YouTube.
If you are looking for the ceremony today, check the official BBC, BritBox and BAFTA destinations for a replay or highlights—but availability may differ by country and can change over time.
Where the 2025 BAFTA Awards were broadcast
The event referred to by this title was the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards, not the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards. BAFTA describes the film ceremony as the 78th British Academy Film Awards. Its official announcements confirmed the following viewing arrangements.
| Region | How viewers watched | Start time on February 16, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | BBC One and BBC iPlayer | 7:00 p.m. GMT |
| United States and other North American markets | BritBox International | Red carpet: 12:45 p.m. ET; ceremony: 2:00 p.m. ET |
| Nordic countries and Australia | BritBox on demand | Availability was described as on demand, rather than as the same live-stream arrangement announced for North America |
BAFTA’s regional announcement is the best source for the distribution distinction between the UK, North America, the Nordics and Australia. It also indicates that other international broadcasters were involved or would be announced, but it does not provide a complete territory-by-territory list. Readers outside the regions above should therefore check their local broadcaster or BAFTA’s current information rather than rely on an assumed international stream. See BAFTA’s official viewing announcement.

How viewers in the UK watched
In the United Kingdom, the ceremony aired on BBC One at 7:00 p.m. GMT on February 16, 2025. It was also available through BBC iPlayer.
BBC iPlayer was the UK catch-up and streaming route identified in BAFTA’s announcement. It should not be treated as a generally authorized viewing option for viewers in the United States or other countries: BAFTA identified BritBox International as the North American distributor.
How viewers in the United States and North America watched
In North America, BritBox International carried the ceremony. The official BritBox event listing scheduled the coverage as follows:
- 12:45 p.m. Eastern Time: red-carpet coverage
- 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time: awards ceremony
Readers looking for a replay can check the BritBox BAFTA event page and the service’s current catalog. A subscription or regional availability may be required, and the existence of the original event page does not guarantee that a complete replay remains available in every North American territory.

Australia and the Nordic countries
BAFTA said the awards were available on demand on BritBox in Australia and the Nordic countries. That wording is important: the official announcement did not describe those markets as receiving exactly the same simultaneous live stream that BritBox advertised for North America.
Current viewers in these regions should open BritBox and search for the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards. Catalog rights can expire or vary between Australia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, so availability should be confirmed directly in the local version of the service.
Where to find the red carpet and arrivals
BAFTA’s red-carpet coverage was a separate digital program from the main awards ceremony. Clara Amfo and Alex Zane hosted live red-carpet coverage on BAFTA’s official YouTube channel. BAFTA’s digital channels also carried arrivals reporting from Ash Holmes and Jack Remmington.
This means BAFTA’s YouTube coverage should be described as red-carpet or arrivals coverage, not automatically as a full live stream of the awards ceremony. The channel may also contain official clips, interviews, photos or highlights, but the availability of a complete ceremony replay is separate and should be checked on the relevant broadcaster or streaming service.

How to watch the ceremony now
Because the ceremony took place in February 2025, use this process rather than looking for a live channel:
- Start with BAFTA’s official event information. Confirm that you are searching for the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards—the film ceremony—not the television awards.
- Check BBC iPlayer if you are in the UK. Search for the event on BBC iPlayer and verify whether a full program, highlights package or winner coverage is still listed.
- Check BritBox in North America, Australia or the Nordic countries. Search the service in your local market. North American viewers originally received the ceremony through BritBox International; Australia and the Nordic countries were specifically listed for on-demand access.
- Use BAFTA’s YouTube channel for official arrivals and clips. This is the appropriate destination for the red carpet and related video material, not a guaranteed replacement for the full ceremony.
- Check local broadcasters elsewhere. BAFTA indicated that additional international broadcasters were involved, but the available official research does not establish a complete country-by-country list. Do not assume that BBC iPlayer or BritBox is authorized or available in every territory.
What not to confuse with the 2025 film awards
- The BAFTA Television Awards: These are a different ceremony with a different schedule. Their dates and streaming arrangements do not answer the question of how to watch the 2025 film awards.
- The BAFTA YouTube red carpet: Arrivals coverage is not necessarily the full ceremony.
- BBC iPlayer outside the UK: BBC iPlayer is not a general international viewing solution, and BAFTA named BritBox International for North America.
- A current replay listing: A platform that carried the event in 2025 may no longer have the full recording, or may show different content depending on the viewer’s country.
Original event schedule at a glance
For viewers checking old listings or trying to identify the correct recording, the ceremony was held at London’s Royal Festival Hall on February 16, 2025. The UK broadcast began at 7:00 p.m. GMT on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. In North America, BritBox’s listing placed the red carpet at 12:45 p.m. ET and the ceremony at 2:00 p.m. ET. The difference reflects the broadcasters’ schedules for the same event, not two separate ceremonies.
BAFTA’s post-event coverage confirmed that the ceremony was broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer and that the organization published additional event material, including photos and YouTube content. Since replay rights change, check the destination immediately before watching rather than relying on an old promise of access. Read BAFTA’s post-event coverage.
