The 62nd TV Week Logie Awards is happening this evening at Queensland's Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This is what you need to know.

Red carpet action

To catch all the glitz and glamour of the red carpet, coverage will broadcast live from 7pm.

Red carpet hosts Leila McKinnon, David Campbell and Renee Bargh will be offering up all things from frocks, fashion and guests.

Where to watch the Logies?

The Logies will be broadcast on Channel Nine and streamed on 9Now.

It'll kick off at 7pm AEST with the red carpet arrivals.

The ceremony itself will begin at 7.30pm AEST.

The ABC will be blogging all the action live on the evening.
