Yes, you can watch parts of the Grammys on YouTube, but not usually the full main CBS telecast live.

Quick Scoop

  • The Premiere Ceremony (where most of the awards are handed out) is streamed live on the official Recording Academy / GRAMMYs YouTube channel and on their website.
  • The main prime‑time Grammys show (performances, biggest awards) airs live on CBS and streams on Paramount+, not generally as a full free live stream on YouTube.
  • You will find red carpet live streams, backstage content, highlights, and later uploaded performances on YouTube from the Recording Academy channel and news outlets like AP.

So what can you watch on YouTube?

  • Live:
    • Premiere Ceremony (official GRAMMYs channel).
* Red carpet and backstage streams from the Recording Academy and media outlets like AP.
  • After the show:
    • Highlight clips, top moments, and many individual performances are uploaded to the Recording Academy’s channel and playlists.

If you want the full main show live , you’ll still need access to CBS or Paramount+, but YouTube is great for the Premiere Ceremony, red carpet, and next‑day performances and highlights.
