YouTube’s Coachella livestreams start at 7PM ET.

YouTube’s deal to stream Coachella performances continues through 2026, and tonight you can start watching the festival’s first weekend, free of charge.

This year, aside from the long list of performing artists and occasional special guests, the options include split-screen multiview, “watch with” commentary streams by creators if you need some narration, a vertical livestream if you prefer the YouTube Shorts look, and dedicated apps for your Android device or iPhone / iPad.
