Overview
Organizers announced the 69th Grammy Awards will air live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles in February 2027 and will move to ABC under a new broadcasting arrangement.
ABC is beginning a 10-year broadcasting deal with the Recording Academy announced in 2024, ending the Grammys' long run on CBS, organizers said.
Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason Jr. said the move represents a 'new home and a bold new chapter' and called it an exciting time for the organization.
Nominations are set to be announced on Nov. 16 for recordings released between Aug. 31, 2025, and Aug. 28, 2026, organizers said.
First-round voting is scheduled Oct. 12–22, 2026, and final voting is set for Dec. 10, 2026–Jan. 7, 2027, organizers said.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources frame the ABC move as celebratory and promotional, foregrounding novelty and history (for example, “first time since the Nixon administration” and recaps of the “historic 68th Grammys”). Editorial choices reproduce official praise (a Grammys CEO statement) and schedule details while omitting critical or financial perspectives.
