Music's biggest night is a global event. The Grammy Awards draw millions of viewers every year not only in the United States, but across Latin America and beyond. With international stars leading the nominations, interest outside the U.S. continues to grow, and watching the ceremony live has become easier than ever.
The 2026 edition arrives at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with a competitive field led by Kendrick Lamar, who enters the night as one of the most nominated artists, followed closely by Bad Bunny, whose presence in top categories underscores the continued rise of Latin music within the Recording Academy. Lady Gaga also returns as a major contender, while the nominations reflect a broader mix of hip hop, pop, and global sounds that define the current music landscape.
How to Watch the Grammys in the United States
In the United States, the Grammy Awards air live on CBS, which broadcasts the ceremony nationwide. Viewers without cable can also stream the show live through Paramount+, as long as their subscription includes access to live television.
The ceremony typically begins at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with coverage starting earlier in the evening. CBS also offers post show highlights and clips across its digital platforms for viewers who miss the live broadcast.
How to Watch the Grammys in Latin America
For audiences in Latin America, the Grammys are traditionally broadcast on TNT, with simultaneous streaming available on Max, depending on the country. The transmission is usually live and features Spanish language commentary, making it accessible to viewers across the region.
Local schedules may vary slightly by territory, but in most countries the ceremony airs at the same time as the U.S. broadcast or with a minimal delay. Full replays are often available on demand through Max after the event concludes.
Where to Watch the Red Carpet
The red carpet has become one of the most anticipated parts of Grammy night. In the U.S., the official pre show titled "Live From the Red Carpet" is produced by the Recording Academy and streamed digitally through live.grammy.com. This coverage includes interviews, fashion moments, and arrivals from the biggest stars of the night.
In Latin America, TNT and Max typically offer their own red carpet coverage as part of a pre show that begins about an hour before the main ceremony. Fans can also follow real time red carpet content through the official Grammy accounts on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Additional Coverage Options
Before the televised gala, the Grammys also present the Premiere Ceremony, where many technical and genre specific awards are announced. This event streams live worldwide on the Recording Academy's YouTube channel and official website.
With television, streaming, and digital platforms working together, the Grammys remain one of the most accessible major award shows for viewers across the Americas.
