The 2025 MTV Video Music Awards saw a 42% surge in viewership after moving to CBS, attracting 5.5 million viewers – the highest in six years. The broadcast's wider reach on CBS, available in significantly more households than MTV, contributed to the increase.

Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Sabrina Carpenter were among the night's big winners, with LL Cool J hosting.
