Before the awards, there’s the red carpet—a glorious parade of fashion wins, fashion fails, and that one actor who forgot their lines five minutes ago. You can watch this on ITV’s social media channels (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook) or the official NTAs website.
NTAs 2026: 12 Moments You Might Have Missed From This Year's National
Honestly, the red carpet is sometimes better than the actual ceremony. It’s where you see a soap star holding a glass of champagne like it’s a lifeline, and a reality contestant trying to explain why they wore sequins in January. Bliss.
Pro move: grab your phone and multitask—watch the main show on TV while scrolling the red carpet live streams on your tablet. You’ll feel like a TV producer, minus the stress and plus the snacks.
What About International Fans?
NTAs are a fiercely British event, but that doesn’t mean you can’t join the fun from New York or Tokyo. Check local broadcasters that carry ITV content, like BritBox in the US or Canada. They sometimes air highlights or even the full show a day later.
No luck with BritBox? YouTube is your friend. The official NTAs channel uploads best-of clips, winner reactions, and that moment someone trips in heels. It’s like a highlight reel for people with short attention spans (aka me).
And if all else fails, Twitter is a treasure trove. Follow #NTAs on the night, and you’ll get live commentary, memes, and people passionately arguing about why Coronation Street deserved to win. It’s chaotic, but it’s community.
