Grammy Premiere Ceremony, Where Most Awards Are Presented, to Stream Live on Disney+ for the First Time

The Recording Academy is introducing a new way to present the majority of Grammy categories, which are typically not featured on the live Grammy telecast. Starting this year, these categories will be showcased during the Premiere Ceremony, which will stream exclusively on Disney+ on February 7, 2027, at 2:30 p.m. ET / 11:30 a.m. PT.

Produced by Fulwell Entertainment for the first time, the ceremony will be helmed by executive producers Ben Winston, Eric Pankowski, and Greg V. Fera. The Recording Academy aims to make this change to allow more fans to experience the celebration. Additionally, the Academy will announce all 100 nominees on a livestream for the first time, in contrast to the past when only around 18 categories were acknowledged.

The Premiere Ceremony will continue to be held at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live, while the Grammy telecast will take place at Crypto.com Arena. After airing on CBS from 1973 to 2026, the telecast will debut live on ABC, Disney+, and Hulu at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, an hour earlier than previous years, to accommodate viewers on the East Coast.
