If you’re an ARMY, you may want to know how to watch the AMAs 2021 online for free to see BTS and Coldplay perform “My Universe” together for the first time ever.

The American Music Awards—or better known as the AMAs—started in 1973 after ABC’s contract to air the Grammy Awards expired. From 1973 to 2005, both winners and nominations were selected by members of the music industry based on commercial performance, sales and airplay. However, starting with the 2006 show, winners at the AMAs have been determined by the public and fans, who vote for their favorites on the AMAs website. Winners are awarded with a tall, triangle statuette crafted by the Society Awards design firm in New York City.

The 49th annual American Music Awards will see BTS perform on am American awards show “Butter” for the first time ever. “Butter,” which was released in May 2021 and spent nine total weeks as number one on the Billboard Hot 100, is BTS’ second all-English-language single after 2019’s “Dynamite,” which earned the Korean pop boy band their first Billboard Hot 100 number one and Grammy nomination. The group—which consists of members Jin, J-Hope, RM, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook—released a remix of “Butter” with Megan Thee Stallion in August 2021. Megan was set to perform the remix of “Butter” with BTS at the AMAs, however, she announced that she had to cancel her set a few days before the show. The AMAs will also see BTS and Coldplay perform their song “My Universe” live for the first time together.

Sling $10 Deal

For those who want to watch the AMAs online live, Sling is an excellent option. Though the service doesn’t have a free trial, Sling has a current deal that offers users one month for just $10.

Both include the $10 first-month deal and cost $35 per month after the deal ends, if one chooses to subscribe. Both also offer 50 hours of DVR and channels like ABC, which is where the AMAs airs. If you had to choose one, though, we recommend Sling Blue to watch the AMAs. Not only does the plan include more channels, but it also allows the user to stream on three devices (Sling Orange allows only one), which means that you can split the cost with two other people, who can stream the AMAs (or other TV shows) on their own devices. (That’s just $3.33 per person.)
