Geoff Keighley’s baby is back; it’s time to get suited and booted for The Game Awards 2025. The annual audience with gaming’s most esteemed actors, actresses, and amazing talent is expected to be another can’t-miss extravaganza, and with 2024 being such a success, you can imagine the 2025 show will be special.
Here’s a complete guide to The Game Awards 2025 show and live streaming date.
When Is The Game Awards 2025?
The Game Awards 2025 show takes place on December 11 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Like last year, the Peacock Theater is the home of gaming’s finest glitz and glamor. The venue holds around 7000 people, and the live audience is expected to make this a tremendous occasion. But we’ve only just gotten started on the show.
What Time Does The Game Awards 2025 Start?
4:30 PM PT is listed as the official start time for The Game Awards 2025.
It’s a nice late-afternoon start time for those on Pacific Time, but it does start to get a tiny bit later with further regions—it’s always a long one if you live in the UK!
Here are some selected time zones for The Game Awards 2025.
| Time Zone | The Game Awards 2025 Start Times & Dates |
|---|---|

How Long Is The Game Awards 2025 Show?
Including the ‘Opening Act’ pre-show before the main The Game Awards 2025 presentation, expect the full showcase to be anywhere between 3 and 3 and a half hours.
The Game Awards ceremony has become something larger than life. It’s more than just your typical awards ceremony. It features new game announcements, trailers, musical performances, and, probably the reason the production is so grand and over-the-top: Countless adverts and promotional tie-ins.
Throw in 29 categories’ worth of nominees and numerous minutes-long speeches, and this is why TGA 2025 will probably go beyond 3 hours.
