The stage is officially set for the 2026 GRAMMY Awards, with the Recording Academy unveiling its full list of nominees and ushering in another vibrant chapter of music history. Scheduled for Sunday, February 1, the ceremony will unfold live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+, promising a dazzling night for fans and artists alike.
This year’s nominations reflect the rich diversity and expansive creativity shaping today’s music scene. Artists like Chappell Roan, Doechii, KAROL G, Mumford & Sons, Sabrina Carpenter, and Sam Smith played host to the big reveal, presenting nominees across an impressive 95 categories. The lineup spans pop, country, rap, R&B, Latin, global, jazz, and more, showcasing both breakout talents and industry veterans.
Maintaining its status as the only peer-voted honor in music, the GRAMMYs continue to rely on the Recording Academy’s Voting Members — a group of musicians, producers, songwriters, and engineers — to determine who will take home the golden gramophones.
Notably, the 2026 edition introduces two fresh categories: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover. These additions highlight the Academy’s evolving recognition of the multifaceted nature of musical artistry, not just in sound but also in the visuals that shape an album’s identity.
With the full nominee list now public, GRAMMY season is in full swing. Fans can tune into live.GRAMMY.com for highlights, exclusive content, and countdown coverage leading up to Music’s Biggest Night.
