Here's a round up of everything you need to know about the 24th annual EMA show.
Date and time
The 2017 MTV Europe Music Awards will be held at London's SSE Wembley Arena on Sunday, November 12.
In February, London mayor Sadiq Khan announced that the city will host the awards ceremony as part of his London Is Open campaign.
Given that, he said: "The great thing about today's announcement is not only does it confirm that London is open, not only does it confirm that London is entertainment capital of the world, it shows we're open to talent, to creativity, and for entertainment.
"It's about time it was back ... we're going to show the world this November that London is the capital of the universe."
