A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is broadcast live on BBC Radio on Christmas Eve afternoon, and it's important to point out that it's not the same as the Carols From King's shown on BBC2 in the evening. The famous Carols From Kings is actually prerecorded earlier in the month (sorry for the spoiler), and attendance is limited to college members. However, you can get pretty much the same experience by attending the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols on Christmas Eve itself.

The BBC Sounds app will be turned off for listeners outside the UK on 21 July 2025, but live streaming of BBC radio will remain available.
