You can watch the 2026 Grammys red carpet on a few official streams, depending on whether you want just arrivals and fashion or the full awards broadcast with pre-show coverage.

Main official red carpet stream

  • The Recording Academy produces “GRAMMY Live From The Red Carpet” , a dedicated red carpet show.
  • It airs Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026 , starting at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET.
  • You can watch it free online on:
    • live.GRAMMY.com (Recording Academy’s official site)
* Recording Academy’s **YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook** channels.
  • The full special is usually available on demand shortly after the livestream ends , so you can catch up if you miss it live.

Watching on TV or streaming services

While the red carpet special itself is primarily online, broader Grammys coverage and arrivals are tied to the main CBS broadcast.

  • The 2026 Grammys ceremony airs on CBS at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
  • It streams live on Paramount+ (Premium) at the same time; Essential plans get it on demand later.
  • If you’re a cord-cutter and want the full CBS coverage (which typically includes some pre-show arrivals and cut-ins to the red carpet), you can use live TV streaming services that carry CBS, such as:
    • Hulu + Live TV
    • DirecTV Stream
    • Fubo (in markets where CBS is included).

These services usually offer short free trials around big events, so some viewers sign up just for “music’s biggest night.”

Extra red carpet and arrivals coverage

If you want even more fashion and interview angles beyond the official Grammy stream, there are media outlets doing their own red carpet lives.

  • Associated Press (AP) runs a live show from the 2026 Grammys red carpet in Los Angeles , with extended interviews and arrivals.
  • Traditional “live from the red carpet” style coverage for awards shows is commonly found on channels like E! , often simulcast or available via Peacock or the NBC app , which many viewers use for pre-show arrivals at big events.

These third‑party streams don’t replace the official Recording Academy show, but they give you extra camera angles, different interviewers, and more fashion commentary.

Quick options by type

Free online (official red carpet):

  • live.GRAMMY.com (Grammy site red carpet special)

TL;DR: For pure red carpet action, head to live.GRAMMY.com or the Recording Academy’s YouTube at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET ; for arrivals plus the main show, use CBS or Paramount+ Premium (or a live TV streaming bundle that carries CBS).
