Music’s biggest and glitziest night is back! The 68th Grammy Awards are set to take over the global stage, promising a night of high-octane performances, emotional tributes, and historic wins. As the industry descends upon Los Angeles, Indian fans are gearing up for an early Monday morning filled with star power.
Here is everything you need to know to catch the 2026 Grammys live from India.
For the sixth consecutive year, the incredibly sharp and charismatic Trevor Noah returns to host the ceremony at the Crypto.com Arena. However, this edition carries a bittersweet note: the comedian has officially announced that this will be his final time leading the show.
After steering the Grammys through pandemic shifts and viral moments since 2021, Noah is expected to exit with a generational run performance that balances his signature wit with a genuine love for the music.
While Los Angeles celebrates on Sunday night, Indian viewers can tune in on Monday morning (February 2, 2026, 6:30 AM IST). Viewers can stream the event live on JioHotstar. Set your alarms early!
The main ceremony will also be streaming live on the official Grammys website and the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel for the Premiere Ceremony.
According to online reports, Justin Bieber will make his highly anticipated return to the Grammy stage after a four-year hiatus, performing hits from his latest album, Swag.
Moreover, Lady Gaga (performing from her album Mayhem), Sabrina Carpenter, and Tyler, the Creator are all set to deliver massive sets.
In a rare move, all eight Best New Artist nominees, including global sensations KATSEYE, Addison Rae, and Olivia Dean, will perform a special medley. Moreover, a heavy-hitting rock collaboration featuring Post Malone, Slash, and Chad Smith will honour the legendary Ozzy Osbourne.
The Recording Academy has introduced several changes for the 68th edition to better reflect the evolving music landscape. For instance, awards will be given for Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover for the first time.
In addition, the “Big Four” categories (Album, Record, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist) have expanded their nominee count from five to ten, making the competition fiercer than ever.
Kendrick Lamar is the man of the hour with a staggering nine nominations, followed closely by Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff, and Cirkut, who each hold seven nods. With Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter also in high contention (six nods), the night promises to be a battle of the titans. Stay tuned for more updates.
