You can absolutely stream the Grammys; it just depends on where you are and whether you want live or next‑day access. Here’s the quick scoop for the 2026 show.

Where to stream the Grammys (2026)

United States

  • Live TV:
    • CBS will broadcast the main 2026 Grammy Awards live on Sunday, February 1, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
  • Streaming:
    • Paramount+ Premium: streams the Grammys live and on demand. You need the Premium tier for the live broadcast; the cheaper Essential plan only gets you the replay the next day.
* Live TV streaming services that carry CBS (and usually have free trials around big events): Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream.

Example: If you don’t have cable, you could sign up for a Fubo trial or Paramount+ Premium on Grammy day, watch the show live on CBS through their app, and cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to keep it.

Canada

  • Citytv: The 2026 Grammys stream on Citytv’s website.
  • Paramount+: Also streams the show in Canada, but you need the Premium plan to watch live.

UK

  • No direct live stream on local Paramount+: Paramount+ confirmed it won’t live stream the 2026 Grammys in the UK.
  • Workarounds people use:
    • Some viewers log into an existing US or Canadian streaming subscription (like Paramount+ Premium with CBS or a live TV service) while travelling, often with region‑switching tools.
* Official social channels and clips: CBS.com, the CBS app, and Recording Academy social feeds (YouTube, site live.grammy.com) carry performances, highlights, and the Premiere Ceremony.

Australia

  • Stan: Streams the 68th Grammys (2026) live on Monday, February 2, from around midday (12 p.m.) local time. A Stan subscription is required; prices start at the basic tier, with higher plans for HD/4K and more devices.

Free and “almost free” options

  • Free trials:
    • Fubo in the US typically offers a free trial that includes CBS, so you can watch the Grammys live during that period.
* Paramount+ often has free trials in many countries (but live access depends on having the Premium tier and on local rights).
  • Official free streams:
    • The Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony (where many categories are awarded) streams free on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel and at live.grammy.com before the main show.
  • Social / clips:
    • Highlights, performances, and key moments appear on Recording Academy channels and CBS online during and after the show.

Mini FAQ

“Can I stream the Grammys totally free?”

  • You can often do it by timing a free trial (e.g., Fubo or Paramount+ Premium where it carries CBS) so it covers Grammy night, then cancelling before the trial ends.

“Is there an official YouTube live of the full main show?”

  • The Premiere Ceremony streams in full on YouTube, but the main primetime CBS broadcast is on TV/CBS and licensed streaming services, not a free global YouTube simulcast.
