The 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony is set to take place on February 1, 2026, live at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, broadcast via CBS and Paramount Plus. The Recording Academy still has plenty to do before then, though. Most notably, there’s the announcement of the nominations, which just happened this morning (November 7).
Notably, there are two new award categories this year: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover. In a statement at the time of that announcement this summer, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said, “The Academy’s top priority is to represent the music people that we serve each year. That entails listening carefully to our members to make sure our rules and guidelines reflect today’s music and allow us to accurately recognize as many deserving creators as possible. As we kick off another exciting Grammy Season, we look forward to celebrating the amazing power of music and its ability to bring so many people together.”
