The 2027 Grammy nominations will be announced on Monday, November 16, 2026. First-round voting runs from October 12 to 22, and the 69th Grammy Awards take place on Sunday, February 7, 2027, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, airing on ABC with streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

It is the first Grammys on ABC after more than 50 years on CBS, Variety reported.

The Recording Academy lists August 28, 2026, as the end of the eligibility window. Variety reported August 31.

Where can I watch the 2027 Grammys?

  • TV: ABC
  • Streaming: Hulu and Disney+
  • Venue: Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles

Why are the Grammys moving to ABC?

Neither side has explained the switch. Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. called ABC "a new home and a bold new chapter." Disney's advertising president, Rita Ferro, pitched the Grammys as part of a string of big January and February live events on ABC and ESPN, Variety reported.

Ben Winston, who has produced the show since 2021, is expected to stay on, though that has not been officially announced.

What counts for the 2027 Grammys?

Anything released in the eligibility window, roughly September 2025 to August 2026. That means albums released this autumn, such as U2's Carnaval De Luz (November 13), will compete at the 2028 Grammys instead.

What should I watch before then?

Country's big night comes two days after the nominations: the CMA Awards on November 18.
