The upcoming 2026 Grammy Awards are highly anticipated, set to take place on February 1 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason jr. predicts history-making moments with new talent and artists nominated in different categories.
The main Grammy Awards show will be broadcast live on CBS starting at 8 p.m. Eastern on February 1. Viewers can also watch the event through live TV streaming services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and FuboTV, which include CBS in their lineup. Paramount+ premium plan subscribers can stream the Grammys live, while essential subscribers will have on-demand access the next day.
The premiere ceremony will precede the main event at 3:30 p.m. Eastern, 12:30 p.m. Pacific at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. It can be streamed on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel and on live.GRAMMY.com. Comedian Trevor Noah will host the show for the sixth and final time, bringing his unique blend of humor and music knowledge to the stage.
Kendrick Lamar leads the nominations with nine, including record, song, and album of the year. Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff, and Cirkut follow with seven nominations each. The best new artist category features a diverse lineup of nominees, including Thomas, Katseye, Olivia Dean, and more.
