The 80th Annual Tony Awards now have a date. The ceremony will take place on Sunday, June 13, 2027, and will broadcast live to both coasts on the CBS Television Network, with streaming on Paramount+ for Premium subscribers. Tony Award Productions and CBS announced the news on Wednesday, November 4, alongside a new broadcast agreement extending the annual Tony Awards broadcast on CBS through 2032.

The Tonys have broadcast live on CBS to both coasts since 1978 — a 48-year partnership. The prior deal between Tony Awards Productions and CBS was set to expire after the 2027 ceremony. The new agreement, struck with the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League, extends the relationship for five more years.

Producers Return for 2027

Producers Raj Kapoor, Sarah Levine Hall and Jack Sussman will serve as producers of the 2027 ceremony after taking the reins for this year’s Tonys. Kapoor and Levine Hall will serve as co-showrunners. Additional information on the 2027 ceremony, including a venue and timing, will be announced in the coming weeks. One report puts the venue as Radio City Music Hall, though that has not been confirmed by the official announcement.

Broadway’s Biggest Night

The Tony Awards are presented by the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, and recognise outstanding achievement by theatre professionals during the 2026-2027 Broadway season. The ceremony typically becomes available for on-demand viewing for all Paramount+ subscribers beginning the day after the live broadcast. The 2027 show will honour the best of a Broadway season that includes the long-awaited debut of The Fantasticks and the return of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stars. The prior deal between Tony Awards Productions and CBS, struck in 2017, was set to run through 2026; the new five-year extension secures Broadway’s biggest night on the network for the rest of the decade.
