The Recording Academy has announced key dates for the 69th Annual Grammy Awards, marking a historic broadcast shift as the ceremony moves from CBS to ABC under a new 10‑year deal with Disney.
Nominations for the 69th Grammys, honouring music released between August 31, 2025, and August 28, 2026, will be announced on Monday, November 16, 2026. The main ceremony is set for February 7, 2027, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
For the first time in over 50 years, the awards will air on ABC, with simultaneous streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. First‑round voting runs October 12–22, 2026, followed by final voting December 10, 2026 – January 7, 2027.
The move ends CBS’s long‑time reign as the home of music’s biggest night. Industry analysts see the Disney deal as a bid to attract younger, streaming‑native audiences.
With eligibility now open, artists have until late August 2026 to submit their work for consideration.
