The list of 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees was announced in April, but, just as every year, the Rock Hall takes forever to actually have the ceremony for the inductions. Thankfully, you can at least stream the ceremony, but only with a subscription.
The Rock Hall does some things in odd ways. For instance, it has a fabulous website with loads of great information about those musical artists and music-related persons that are in the Hall. But it could also stream the induction ceremony and it doesn't.
Maybe it's a money thing, but it is also losing part of its potential audience by not showing the ceremony live on television. If you don't have a certain subscription to a certain streamer, you are out of luck initially.
2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction: How to watch and steam
Still, you can watch the ceremony as it takes place on Saturday, November 8, at 8 pm ET on Disney+. You can also watch on replay on the platform after the show. If you want to wait nearly two months to see the show, though, you can.
On Thursday, January 1, at 8 pm ET, you can watch the ceremony on ABC. On January 2, you can stream it on Hulu. Of course, Disney owns ABC and Hulu, so spreading out the showings must be a money-making venture for the mousey-eared giant.
