The UBS Arena will be the sixth venue in New York to host the VMAs, following Radio City (12 times), the Palladium (once ), the Metropolitan Opera House (twice), Barclay's Center (twice), and Madison Square Garden (once).
“We are thrilled to bring this year's VMAs to UBS Arena, one of the newest and most advanced venues in the country,” said Bruce Gillmer, president of music, music talent, programming and events, Paramount and chief content officer, music, Paramount+. “Celebrating one of the biggest nights in music with the incredible, loud fans of the New York area is something we've been looking forward to ever since last year's show ended.”
“We are thrilled to welcome the MTV Video Music Awards back to New York State,” said New York Governor Kathy Hochul. “From its beginnings at Radio City Music Hall in 1984 to September's event at UBS Arena, the VMAs continue to captivate millions.”
