The 2025 UK Music Video Awards were held on 30 October 2025, in London, with the purpose of recognising the best in music videos and music film making from United Kingdom and worldwide delivered between August 2024 and August 2025.[1] The ceremony took place at Magazine London for the fourth consecutive time, with American singer and former Scissor Sisters frontwoman Ana Matronic serving as host for the third year in a row.[2][3]

Nominations were announced on 30 September 2025. FKA twigs led the nominations with nine (including six for her music video "Eusexua"), followed by A$AP Rocky and Little Simz with five each, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii and Wolf Alice, all three with four, and Travis Scott with three.[4] Jazz music videos are now included in the R&B / Soul categories while the awards for Best Low Budget Video and Best Casting in a Video were introduced.

"Tailor Swif", performed by A$AP Rocky and directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, won Video of the Year. It was also the most awarded video during the ceremony with four additional wins. American musician and lead singer of OK Go received the Icon Award while American music video director and choreographer Diane Martel was honoured with the Legend Award posthumously.[5]

The 2025 awards also marked the launch of the British Music Video Association (BMVA) and its opening campaign for Music Video Tax Relief.[6]
