Grammys 2027 Locks In Date — Here’s Where You’ll Watch on TV and Streaming
The Recording Academy and Disney have locked in music’s biggest night: the 69th Grammy Awards will take over Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 9, 2027, airing on ABC with streaming partners set.
The Grammys are switching things up in a big way for 2027—and honestly, it’s about time. The Recording Academy just made it official: the 69th Grammy Awards will hit Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, February 9, 2027. But here’s where it gets interesting: for the first time since the Nixon years, ABC is going to air the show. Yeah, that ABC. The Grammys have been a CBS staple for decades, but Disney (which owns ABC, Hulu, and Disney+) is pulling off a broadcast/streaming coup.
Goodbye CBS, Hello Disney
In case you missed the media chess match, Disney snatched a 10-year broadcast deal with the Recording Academy in October 2024. ABC nabs the big live telecast, but the ceremony will also be streaming live on Hulu and Disney+—no cable required if you’re a streamer.
Just to geek out for a second: ABC last aired the Grammys in 1972. Since then, it’s been wall-to-wall CBS, so this is as big a TV turnaround as you’re likely to see. Besides showing off at their Upfronts in Manhattan, Disney is clearly signaling how much they want live TV events folded into their streaming empire.
Date, Deadlines, and Everything Else
- Show date: Sunday, February 9, 2027 (Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles)
- Network and streamers: ABC, Hulu, Disney+
- Nominations revealed: Monday, November 16, 2026
- Product eligibility period: August 31, 2025–August 28, 2026

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. is spinning the move as a big leap for music fans:
'The Grammys are all about celebrating the music that moves the world, and this moment is built on exactly that. This is an exciting time for us as an organization, a new home and a bold new chapter for the Grammy Awards. We are just getting started, and the best is yet to come.' Look, he’s not wrong—this will basically reinvent how the biggest night in music hits most people’s TVs and devices.
For the Record: What Happened at the Last Grammys?
If you haven’t paid attention lately, the Grammys have actually been handing out some history-making statues. Flashback to the 68th show (February 2026): Bad Bunny made waves with Debí Tirar Más Fotos, the first Spanish-language album to ever snag Album of the Year. Kendrick Lamar’s 'Luther' grabbed Record of the Year, making him the first male artist—and first rapper, period—to clinch the award two years running.
As for Song of the Year, Billie Eilish and her brother/producer partner Finneas O'Connell won for 'Wildflower', officially becoming the only artists to triple up in that category across their careers (that’s not just hype, it’s Grammy history).
So, if you’re already marking your calendar for 2027—get ready for a broadcast shake-up, a new streaming reality, and probably a lot of awkward presenter banter (some Grammy traditions never die).
