The Grammy Awards 2026 are scheduled to air live this Sunday on CBS and Paramount+, beginning at 5 pm. This edition of the ceremony will mark the final year of the Grammys' long-standing broadcast partnership with CBS, bringing an end to a decades-long association. From next year, the awards show will move to Disney.
