One of the only nights honoring achievements and excellence in black entertainment, or at least the only one by the sole cable network dedicated to black entertainment is going down tonight. Yes, the 2015 BET Awards is tonight, starting at 8 p.m. EST, and will be aired live on BET (where else?!).

But fans who can’t be bothered to tune in on their TVs can still find out where to watch a free live stream below.

Honoring this year's best in black music, video, movies, sports and more, this year's award show will be hosted by co-stars from the hit sitcom Black-ish, Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross.

The show is set to have musical performances and appearances from the likes of Janet Jackson (who will be honored with an "Ultimate Icon Award"), Smokey Robinson, Ciara, Jason Derulo, Tinashe, Robin Thicke, the cast of Empire (yes, the cast of the hit FOX show is doing a musical performance), Fetty Wap, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, Meek Mill, and more.

Watch The 2015 BET Awards Live Online Or Via Mobile Device

Viewers can watch a free online live stream of what's going on live backstage of the award ceremony through BET's website, although you may miss most of the main action going down on stage. The best bet to see the show without a TV is to watch in on your mobile device, either tablet or smartphone, by downloading the BET NOW app, which supposedly allows you to watch BET live. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices AND you can run the former (through Google's Chrome web browser) on you laptop or desktop.

The 2015 BET Awards air live at 8 p.m. EST/ 7 p.m. CST on June 7th.
