BAFTA TV Awards 2024: Latest Betting Odds and Where to Watch Tonight's Ceremony Live on TV

One of British television’s most glittering occasions takes place later today, with the 2024 BAFTA Television Awards set to crown the best on the small screen, be it on a broadcaster or streaming services. 

Held in the Royal Festival Hall in London and hosted by Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett, this year’s big talking point centres around two critically acclaimed shows that concluded within the last twelve months.

“Succession” looks to earn another acting award for Brian Cox, known for his role in the series as patriarch Logan Roy, while the show is once again considered a favourite to pick up the Best International Series award.

Close to home though, many are crossing their fingers that “Happy Valley,” starring Sarah Lancashire and a perennial winner at television award ceremonies since its debut in 2014, looks to pick up its final clutch of awards after its nailbiting conclusion on the BBC. 

Given that the ceremony seems to have snuck up on many of us (especially those of us in Eurovision 2024 mode), it might pay to remember what time it’s on television this evening, while also taking a look at what the current betting odds are for some of the big awards to be handed out this evening.
