68th Annual Grammy Awards: What to Expect and How to Watch Live
The 68th annual Grammy Awards are set to take place on February 1 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. This year's event is expected to bring back a sense of normalcy after the previous year's show was altered to support relief efforts for the Los Angeles wildfires. Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason jr. anticipates 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 show through live TV streaming services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and FuboTV. 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 and can be streamed on the Recording Academy's YouTube channel and live.GRAMMY.com.
A special segment at the 2026 Grammys will feature all eight best new artist nominees performing together. Leading nominee Sabrina Carpenter will also take the stage with six nominations. Comedian Trevor Noah will host the show for the sixth and final time, bringing a mix of humor and music knowledge to the event. Kendrick Lamar leads the nominations with nine, followed by Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff, and Cirkut with seven each.
The Associated Press will stream a four-hour red carpet show with interviews and fashion footage on YouTube and APNews.com. For more coverage of the Grammy Awards, visit the official website.
