President Obama’s speech to accept the Democratic nomination at the party’s national convention on Sept. 6 is the same night as the MTV Video Music Awards. 

An MTV spokesperson told CNN that the awards are being moved up an hour early in order to avoid a conflict with the convention and will air from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET rather than the usual 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET.
