The coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla will soon be the first ceremonial crowning of a British monarch in 70 years and the second-ever to be broadcast. For many, it will also be the first (and perhaps only) coronation they can see in real time.

On May 6, thousands of people are expected to flock the streets of London to catch a glimpse of the coronation procession as the king and queen consort make their way from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, and back. The historic occasion will also mark the first royal family reunion with Prince Harry since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral last September.

Ahead, read everything you need to know about how to tune in live from the United States.


Where can I watch the coronation?

BBC and major U.S. networks—like CNN, NBC, and Fox News—are expected to broadcast the coronation live. You can access these broadcasts through YouTube, streaming subscriptions, or traditional cable television.

In particular, ABC News and Good Morning America will offer five hours' worth of intimate live coverage during the coronation for U.S. viewers. These can be watched through cable television or on ABC and GMA's websites. GMA can also be streamed via Hulu with monthly subscription plans starting at $8, following a month-long free trial.
