How to Watch 2025 Stand Up 2 Cancer Benefit

The ninth biennial fundraising special Stand Up to Cancer is headed to Nashville for another push to raise awareness and educate viewers about cancer.

For the first time ever, the telecast will be broadcast from Nashville. During the broadcast, viewers and listeners will learn about the recent advances in cancer research, “and why continued support is vital in the fight against the disease,” according to a statement about the telecast.

“The goal of Stand Up To Cancer has always been about working collaboratively to push cancer research forward so we could help patients as quickly as possible,” Katie Couric, SU2C co-founder, said in a statement. “Nearly two decades later, it’s incredibly gratifying and inspiring to see the impact of this research. Bringing the show to Nashville will infuse new energy and excitement into our mission. There’s still so much work to do and every dollar makes a difference—especially to the families who are counting on novel approaches and therapies as they face the challenges that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.”

Several stars, musicians and figures in media are slated to join the party, and we’re here with all the details about when, where and how to watch.
