what channel is the grammys on direct tv

The Grammys air on the CBS network, which on DIRECTV is usually channel 2–13 in most markets for standard CBS (the exact number depends on your city) and channel 390 for the national CBS feed in some packages.

Because CBS is a local channel on DIRECTV, your specific channel number is tied to your ZIP code, so the fastest way to be precise is:

  1. Press the GUIDE button on your DIRECTV remote.
  2. Type “CBS” or scroll to your local CBS affiliate (e.g., KCBS, WCBS, etc.).
  3. Tune to that channel at the Grammys start time (8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT for the 2026 show).

If you’d rather stream and you have DIRECTV via internet or a bundle, you can also watch CBS through the DIRECTV app or via Paramount+, which carries the live Grammys broadcast.
