How long is the BRIT Awards 2025 on for?

With so much drama to cram into one night, it's no surprise the A-list ceremony needs a decent chunk of air time.

Music's hottest stars are expected to arrive on the red carpet in the late afternoon, so make sure your phone is charged and your social media game is strong.

As for TV, the BRITs kicks off at 8.15pm and is scheduled to run through until 10:40pm, meaning fans get almost two and a half hours of electrifying music and acceptance speeches.

Not only will the starry night see chart-toppers and critically-acclaimed musicians receive that iconic statue, but special tributes are expected for One Direction star Liam Payne, who tragically died in October 2024.
