The BRIT Awards will be broadcast from 8.30pm on Saturday 11 February on ITV1 and ITVX. International viewers can also watch the show on the BRIT Awards YouTube channel, which is due to finish at 10.30pm.

In addition to the main awards show on ITV1, there will be a pre-event broadcast called 'The Brit Awards: Red Carpet', beginning at 7.30pm on ITV2. The show will include interviews with the performers and nominees ahead of the big event.

Who is hosting the BRIT Awards?

Stand-up comedian Mo Gilligan is returning as BRIT Awards host, making this year his second time at the helm of the show. Last year, he hosted alongside Maya Jama, taking over from Jack Whitehall who'd hosted for four consecutive years since 2018.

Mo said: "Hosting the BRITs last year was one of the most phenomenal moments of my life. I’ve been so honoured to get to know the incredible team behind the biggest night in music and so proud to bring our amazing audiences even closer to their favourite artists. I promise you, we’re going to go even bigger this year… Let's go!"

Clara Amfo, Maya Jama and Roman Kemp will also be on screen for the pre-event broadcast, which will bring viewers all the gossip as celebrities and artists arrive for the big night.

Maya has said: "Last year was such a great experience, so I’m looking forward to working alongside Clara and Roman on it this time around. It’s gonna be a good one!"

Meanwhile, Clara added, "Anything can happen on what is set to be another memorable night in the music and TV calendar," while Roman said, "I love seeing so many of my favourite names in music come together for such an amazing night."
