The Grammys are going down tonight in Los Angeles, but how can you watch the ceremony from home? Find out below.
The 68th annual edition of the awards are being held in the Crypto.com Arena tonight (February 1), with comedian Trevor Noah returning as host for the sixth consecutive time.
The nominees in all categories were announced in November, with Kendrick Lamar leading the way with a total of nine nods, thanks to his sixth album ‘GNX’, released in November 2024. Just behind are Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff and producer Cirkut, who all sit on seven, while Sabrina Carpenter, Leon Thomas, Serban Ghenea and Bad Bunny all have six.
Lamar, Gaga, Carpenter and Bad Bunny are also all up for all three of the ‘major’ Grammy categories – Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year, with Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Tyler, The Creator among the other artists picking up nominations in those categories.
There are four nominations for ‘Golden’, the hit song from KPop Demon Hunters, while Bon Iver, The Cure, Wet Leg and Hayley Williams will fight it out with Tyler, The Creator for Best Alternative Music Album.
The eligibility period was from August 31, 2024 to August 30, 2025, meaning records released since that date, including Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’, were ineligible.
How to watch the Grammys 2026 ceremony
The main show begins at 5pm in Los Angeles, or 8pm in New York and 1am on Monday in the UK.
In the US, it will be broadcast on network television on CBS and will be streaming on Paramount+ for those with a premium subscription including Showtime.
In the UK, however, there is no official broadcaster for the ceremony, meaning music fans will not be able to legally watch the show live. Clips from the show will circulate quickly on the Grammys’ official social media pages, with more extensive footage of acceptance speeches and performances to be available from Monday morning.
The ‘premiere ceremony’, however, is streaming for free on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel – watch that above, with many of the technical and genre-specific awards being given out during that show.
Red carpet coverage will air on the same channel from 11pm UK time.
