The Soul Train Awards return after a three-year pause, with the ceremony set for Friday, Nov. 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. BET will air the show, and the event will simulcast on CBS for the first time.
The revival follows the earlier suspension of the awards broadcast and the move to bring the program back to television. Multiple outlets report the November return and emphasize the expanded distribution, including additional streaming and cable platforms mentioned in coverage. Variety, Rolling Stone, and Deadline all frame the restart as a major comeback for the R&B, hip-hop, soul, and gospel honors associated with the Soul Train franchise.
While the outlets largely agree on scheduling and network coverage, their emphasis differs: some highlight the BET-led return and joint CBS airing, while others describe the broader plan for the fall rollout across more than one broadcaster. Across reports, the key point is that the ceremony is back on major networks and will reach audiences through multiple channels beyond its previous broadcast structure.
