How to watch the Grammy 2026 without cable
Paramount+ Premium ($13.99/month or $139.99/year) lets subscribers stream the 2026 Grammys live as it airs on CBS, alongside live sports like NFL on CBS, UEFA Champions League soccer, and full UFC events (no PPV fees needed). Paramount+ Essential ($8.99/month or $89.99/year) provides access to the vast on-demand library but streams the Grammys next-day only, not live. Both plans support multi-device viewing via the app on iOS, Android, smart TVs, and more, with annual options saving 17% vs. monthly billing.
What’s new at Grammy’s 2026?
In an effort to stay relevant, the Grammy Awards always changes their rules. Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover are two new categories this year. They also changed the rules for Best New Artist. Now, if a vocalist was a ‘featured artist’ on a huge album in the past, they are not automatically disqualified from being called a new artist later. For artists who spent years establishing their brands on other people’s songs before going solo, this is a huge win.
