Yes. Fort Jackson livestreams its graduation ceremonies free on its official YouTube channel, so families who cannot travel can watch live. The garrison says the YouTube page is the only place to watch the live stream. Family Day itself is not livestreamed, only graduation. If there is a technical issue during the stream, the garrison posts the full video later the same day.
Safety
Official streams are free. If a page charges, it is a scam.
The Army does not charge to watch a Fort Jackson graduation, and never will. Scam pages and accounts post fake “livestream” links, often in the comments of official pages, that ask for a payment, a card number, or personal information before you can watch. Do not enter any of that. Watch only on the official source below, and ignore stream links in comments or direct messages.

Common questions
- Is the Fort Jackson graduation livestream free?
- Yes. Official Army graduation streams are always free to watch. Anyone who asks for a payment, a card number, or personal information before you can watch is running a scam.
- Where can I watch the Fort Jackson graduation online?
- Watch only on the official source the garrison points to. Ignore "livestream" links posted in the comments of official pages or sent in direct messages, which are common scam vectors.
- When does the Fort Jackson graduation stream?
- Units typically post the stream link close to the ceremony date rather than far in advance. Check the official source the morning of graduation and confirm the exact time with your Soldier's unit.
- Why isn't there a direct livestream link on this page?
- Graduation streams are posted by the unit shortly before each ceremony rather than as a single permanent link. We point you to the official source so you always reach the current stream instead of a stale or fake one.
