DIAMOND BAR, Calif. (Oct. 28, 2025) – Automotive industry professionals and enthusiasts can experience the excitement of the 2025 SEMA Show through SEMA Live presented by AutoZone. With expanded coverage, more storytelling, and shorter segments, SEMA Live will capture the full heartbeat of the aftermarket as it takes over the Las Vegas Convention Center campus Nov. 4-7.
Broadcasting 31 hours of live coverage on YouTube and Meta, SEMA Live will feature breaking news, vehicle unveils, trendsetting products, and signature highlights that can only be found at the SEMA Show. Chris Jacobs will host the action from the SEMA Live studio in Central Hall and be joined by remote reporters Alliyah Becerra, JC Fernandez, and Elija Isra. At just 14 years old and new to SEMA Live, Isra will bring fresh perspective and energy to the broadcast.
“This year, SEMA Live is redefining how the automotive business community experiences the aftermarket’s biggest week,” said SEMA Vice President of Events Tom Gattuso. “Viewers can expect expanded production, new guest appearances, and never-before-seen coverage that will bring every moment of the SEMA Show to life, from the Show floor to the outdoor action zones and beyond.”
