Freeform and ABC stations will air Ariana Grande's benefit concert this Sunday in Manchester, England, the networks confirmed on Friday.

Good Morning America announced today the concert would air live on Freeform, the network formerly known as ABC Family, while many ABC affiliates will air highlights of the show after the NBA Finals.

As we previously reported, Grande will be performing at Manchester's Old Trafford Cricket Grounds alongside the likes of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Coldplay, Pharrell Williams, Usher, Niall Horan and Take That.

The charity event comes less than two weeks after the bombing at Manchester Arena which killed 22 people after a Grande concert. All proceeds from Sunday's show will go towards victims and their families.

The concert, billed as One Love Manchester, is set to start Sunday at 7 p.m. U.K. time/2 p.m. EST. In addition to the U.K.'s BBC Worldwide, 38 countries have agreed to air the charity event.

Viewers in Canada will also be watch the concert live, without commercial interruption, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST, on CTV, Much and VRAK channels, all of which will be broadcasting the direct BBC feed.

“This Sunday, when Ariana Grande and her friends return to the stage, the world will stand united with families in Manchester and across the United Kingdom,” Disney ABC Television Group president and Disney Media Networks co-chairman Ben Sherwood said in a statement today. "ABC and Freeform look forward to sharing the music community's message of love, hope and resilience."
